Range that covers real truck work
The Silverado EV offers the longest range of any electric pickup in Canada. The Max Range battery delivers up to 793 km on a full charge - enough for a full week of commuting or a long haul to a job site. Even the base Work Truck with the Standard Range battery provides 460 km.
The truck supports DC fast charging at up to 300 kW. A 240V Level 2 charger handles overnight charging at home.
Power that moves heavy loads
The dual-motor 4WD system produces 510 hp and 580 lb-ft of torque in the Work Truck trim. The LT with Extended Range delivers 645 hp and 765 lb-ft. The LT Max Range and Trail Boss Max Range produce 760 hp and 775 lb-ft. Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode delivers maximum power for quick acceleration and confident passing on top trims.
Towing and payload built for work
The Silverado EV tows up to 12,500 lb (5,670 kg) when properly equipped - enough for a large boat, car hauler, or loaded equipment trailer. Maximum payload is 1,800 lb (816 kg). The truck includes a factory-installed trailer brake controller, Hitch View camera, and available four-wheel steering for tight manoeuvres. Tow/Haul mode adjusts throttle response and regenerative braking for stability under load.
Multi-flex midgate: a bed that grows
The Multi-Flex Midgate, available on LT and Trail Boss trims, is a folding rear window and bulkhead that opens the cabin into the bed. This creates up to 10 feet 10 inches of load floor when paired with the Multi-Flex Tailgate. That's long enough for lumber, kayaks, or a motorcycle. The Midgate closes to keep the cabin sealed and quiet when not needed. The Multi-Flex Tailgate offers six positions, including a step, workbench, and load stop.
Etrunk: storage where you didn't expect it
The front trunk (eTrunk) provides 303 litres of lockable, weatherproof storage for tools, charging cables, or groceries. It includes up to 10 power outlets for running tools, lights, or tailgate setups without draining the main battery.
Work truck: built for the job site
The Work Truck trim is designed for commercial buyers and fleet operators. Standard equipment includes a 17.7-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in, 11.3-inch driver information centre, Multi-Flex Tailgate, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and vinyl seats with rubber floor mats. It's available in six exterior colours and focuses on capability and value.
Lt: comfort meets capability
The LT trim adds comfort features for buyers who want a truck that works hard and drives well. Extended and Max Range batteries deliver up to 760 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, plus Wide Open Watts mode. The LT includes the Multi-Flex Midgate, available 22-inch wheels, heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-appointed seating, and available panoramic fixed-glass roof. It's the most popular trim for daily drivers who handle weekend projects and long road trips.
Trail boss: off-road ready
The Trail Boss is new for 2026 and built for off-pavement use. Both Extended and Max Range configurations deliver up to 760 hp and 775 lb-ft. Features include off-road tuned suspension with Adaptive Air Ride, all-terrain tires, blacked-out styling with unique grille and badging, skid plates for underbody protection, and Off-Road drive mode that optimizes throttle, traction, and stability control for trails.
Technology that keeps you connected
Every Silverado EV includes a 17.7-inch infotainment screen - the largest in the segment - paired with an 11-inch driver information centre. The system runs Google built-in for Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store apps without connecting your phone.
Available Super Cruise hands-free driving is included with a 3-year trial on LT and Trail Boss trims. It works on over 1.2 million km of compatible highways in Canada and the U.S., and it's the only hands-free system that supports trailering.
Safety features available across the lineup
Available safety features on the Silverado EV include Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, HD Surround Vision (360-degree camera), Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist.
Vehicle-to-home (v2h) charging capability
The Silverado EV supports Vehicle-to-Home charging, allowing you to use the truck's battery to power your home during an outage. The PowerBase power supply includes up to 10 outlets and can deliver up to 10.2 kW of off-board power - enough to run essential appliances, lights, and a refrigerator for several days.
Four-wheel steering for tight spaces
Four-wheel steering turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels at low speeds, tightening the turning radius for easier parking and navigation in tight spots. At highway speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels to improve stability.
