After almost a year of teasing fans, Chevrolet introduced us to its first all-electric truck, the Chevy Silverado EV. The Chevy Silverado EV<\/a> is what the automaker calls a \u201ccategory-defying, boundary-breaking game changer\u201d in the electric pickup market. For those of you looking to get your hands on one, look below to find all the details, including specs and how much it costs to buy.<\/p>\n

The Silverado gets an electric upgrade<\/h2>\n

GM\u2019s best-selling truck is now being prepared for an all-electric future as the automaker transitions its fleet to accommodate the rising demand for zero-emission vehicles. <\/p>\n

The Silverado started as the top trim option offered on GM\u2019s C\/K trucks, but after becoming a fan favorite, it received its own line. Since then, the truck has undergone a series of upgrades and facelifts to maintain its status in modern times (more durable, lighter, and a focus on efficiency).<\/p>\n

The fan-favorite truck has spread from the US to countries like the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, and Chile as consumers look for durable, good all-around trucks worldwide. <\/p>\n

What to know about Chevy\u2019s new electric truck<\/h2>\n

The Silverado is getting another modern upgrade as demand for electric vehicles is only projected to continue rising. Chevy\u2019s electric Silverado will be built on GM\u2019s Ultium platform<\/a>, the automaker\u2019s purpose-built platform for the future of electric vehicles. <\/p>\n

Vice president of Chevrolet, Steve Hill, talks about how the platform will play a key role, stating:<\/p>\n

\n

The Ultium Platform is a critical enabler of next-level pickup truck performance for both fleet and retail customers, whether they are currently driving a Silverado or are considering a pickup for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Silverado EV will be available in two models, the RST and WT (work truck) edition, to start, but more trims are expected to join the lineup. Chevy has also teased a potential Trail Boss edition (pictured below) though the price and specs are unknown.<\/p>\n

Chevy released a special Silverado EV RST First Edition that sold out almost immediately with a price tag upwards of $105,000. However, the new editions will cost much less as the automaker looks to bring electric trucks to the mass market.<\/p>\n
