As we mentioned earlier, the electric Silverado will be underpinned by GM’s Ultium platform. The revolutionary Ultium platform is engineered for range, power, and flexibility. With its modular battery and drive unit combinations, GM’s Ultium platform can support a wide range of vehicle styles, including trucks and SUVs. Ultium’s batteries, the heart of the system, can stack cells vertically in trucks and SUVs or horizontally for performance vehicles, allowing for greater energy density.
Although Silverado EV range has not been confirmed by Chevrolet, it is expected the vehicle will have a range of 400 miles, or approximately 643 km, on a single charge. Knowing what we know about the Ultium platform, this seems entirely attainable, as GM has confirmed Ultium’s batteries can reach an estimated range of 400 miles.
Stay tuned for more information as it is released! In the meantime, Chevrolet and GM have an impressive line of trucks, electric vehicles, and more. Ask a Preston Sales Consultant for more info about the Silverado EV or any other vehicles in our lineup!
