How far will a Silverado EV go on a full charge?
The Silverado EV can travel up to about 400 miles on a full charge in its most capable version; other trims offer shorter ranges depending on the battery size and drivetrain, with real-world mileage varying by speed, weather and payload. This article lays out the range you can expect across configurations and the factors that influence it.
Chevrolet has built the Silverado EV on GM's Ultium platform to deliver long-range capability for work and recreation alike. Official EPA estimates differ by battery pack, drive configuration, and wheel setup, so the numbers you see can change based on how the truck is configured. The following breakdown reflects current publicly disclosed estimates and typical conditions.
Range by configuration
EPA figures are published for the main configurations and assume typical conditions. They depend on the battery pack selected, whether the truck uses rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and other variables like wheel size and climate control usage.
Battery and drivetrain choices
- Max battery Ultium Pack (approximately 200 kWh) with dual-motor all-wheel drive: EPA-estimated up to 400 miles on a full charge.
- Mid-range battery with all-wheel drive: EPA-estimated roughly 320–350 miles.
- Baseline or smaller-pack configurations (including 2WD or single-motor variants): EPA-estimated about 260–320 miles.
In practice, the actual range you experience will depend on conditions such as highway versus urban driving, towing, weather, and driving style.
What affects real-world range
Beyond configuration, several factors influence how far you can travel on a single charge. Vehicle weight, aerodynamics, wheel and tire choices, speed, use of climate control, and outside temperature all play important roles. Real-world testing typically shows lower figures than EPA estimates under harsh conditions but can approach the high-end numbers with moderate speeds and efficient driving.
Summary
The Silverado EV offers a broad spectrum of range, with the longest EPA-estimated figures near 400 miles in the top-tier configuration and lower estimates for smaller packs or different drivetrains. Real-world range will vary, but the truck is designed to cover substantial distances on a single charge with thoughtful configuration and driving practices.
