At the 2022 CES, Chevrolet pulled back the curtain on the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV This is an all-electric truck intended to compete with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and Tesla Cybertruck

In the official press release, Chevrolet divulged important details about the upcoming EV, including pricing, estimated range, horsepower, speed, and towing capacity Not only that, Chevrolet plans to pack the Silverado EV with the latest technology, including four-wheel steering, a huge 17-inch touchscreen, and what the company calls true hands-free driver assistance technology, Super Cruise

Below is everything we know so far about the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV

At launch, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV will be a six-figure car Yes, when it lands in the spring of 2023, Chevrolet will debut it with the RST First Edition model, which will offer the longest battery range, an estimated 400 miles That range includes a $105,000 sticker price and additional destination fees

After the initial launch of the RST First Edition, other models will begin to hit dealerships These models include the WT, RST, and Trial Boss Pricing will start at $39,900 and go up from there MSRPs for other trims are in the $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, $80,000, etc

Reservations have already begun on Chevrolet's Silverado EV website Reservations cost only $100, but the purchase must go through a Chevrolet dealer Reservations are refundable Chevrolet says on its site, "Reservations do not guarantee delivery of the vehicle within a certain time frame Final pricing is determined by the dealer

This could mean that dealers could mark up the Silverado EV for $39,900 if demand is high enough

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a beast in terms of power, boasting 664 hp and over 780 lb-ft of torque; GM also estimates a 0-60 time of 45 seconds, which is surprisingly agile for a huge pickup truck

As for towing capacity, it is expected to trailer up to 10,000 pounds with a maximum payload of 1,300 pounds These numbers are for the RST model

The WT model is on the low end and is intended for fleet customers These buyers will get 510 HP and 615 lb-ft of torque; the WT model has a towing capacity of 8,000 lbs and a payload of 1,200 lbs In the press release linked above, Chevrolet states, "After the initial launch, Chevrolet will introduce fleet models with maximum towing packages and maximum trailering of up to 20,000 lbs"

On the driving side, the RST First Edition trim will feature front and rear drive motors that make up the e4WD system The RST First Edition will also feature four-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, and a multi-flex midgate for increased cargo capacity four-wheel steering allows for a tighter turning radius and improved corner handling at high speeds

Both RST and WT models will feature Tow/Haul modes, trailer hitch provisions, and integrated trailer brake controller and hitch guidance The RST will feature Chevrolet's Advanced Trailering System

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV will come in multiple trims, all built on GM's Ultium platform designed for EVs; the RST First Edition will feature a 24-module Ultium battery pack that is part of the "base structure" on board Unfortunately, Chevrolet did not reveal the size of the Silverado EV's battery pack

As for charging, the RST and WT models will feature public DC fast charging with speeds up to 350 kW Chevrolet claims that drivers can get 100 miles of range from a 10-minute charge

Owners of the Silverado EV can also power other devices thanks to the 10 outlets available on the truck, for a total output of 102Kw In fact, the Silverado EV can charge another EV using the available accessory charging cords

RST owners have several additional charging benefits They have access to Ultium Charge 360" Designed to simplify the overall charging experience, including access to more than 100,000 publicly available charging points in the US and Canada"

The 2024 Silverado EV is a tall, aggressive-looking electric pickup truck

The 2024 Silverado EV is a tall, aggressive-looking electric pickup truck Still, designers had to ensure a low drag coefficient to ensure maximum fuel economy

"The front end design is sculpted to efficiently direct air to the body sides, significantly reducing drag and turbulence," states a Chevrolet press release

"As a result, the Silverado EV WT's drag coefficient is estimated to be the lowest of any full-size pickup truck on the market

Granted, Chevrolet has stated that the Silverado EV WT "has the lowest drag coefficient of any commercially available full-size pickup truck," and seeing the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and Tesla Cybertruck on the road could change its policy means that the company's policy could change

The Silverado EV is available only as a crew cab, with the back row pushed backward to provide ample headroom for a 6-foot-tall passenger

The front will feature an eTrunk, a "lockable, weatherproof compartment" that "provides enough space to fit large hard-sided suitcases and offers numerous accessory options for both fleet and retail customers"

The bed is 5'11" and can be maximized thanks to a multi-flex midgate, which can be expanded to 9 feet between the cap and tailgate

The center dash is accented by a large 17-inch diagonal touchscreen display and an adjacent 11-inch driver instrument screen It will also feature keyless entry and hands-free start

Like other EVs trying to compete with Tesla, GM is also working on its own version of self-driving technology It's called Super Cruise, and the RST First Edition will feature Super Cruise, which Chevrolet claims is the industry's first "true hands-free driver assistance technology"

Drivers will be able to drive hands-free on "more than 200,000 miles of supported roads in the United States and Canada"

As for the charging network, GM is doing its best to compete with Tesla's Supercharger network Silverado EV owners can use the myChevrolet app to create energy-efficient routes, even when driving a trailer

GM is moving to a new Linux-based software platform named Ultifi This will allow for quick and frequent software updates, allowing drivers to get new features over time Drivers will also have keyless entry and hands-free start

There is suddenly a wave of competition in the EV truck segment, and it would not be surprising to see the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV enter the fray Overall, Chevrolet seems to have its sights set on the Ford F-150 Lightning, which has produced multiple models that start at $39,000 and go into the six figures Chevrolet also goes out of its way to tell us that it has business and government in mind with the WT model, stripped of bells and whistles for those most in need

Still, the Ford F-150 Lightning is expected to begin deliveries later this year, as is the Rivian R1T The Silverado EV will land as early as spring 2023, giving Ford a great start in this market

Still, the Silverado EV is an important part of GM's goal to go fully electric by 2035 Given that the Silverado is Chevrolet's best-selling model, giving this truck an EV variant is an important first step
