After some fiery rising pains, Chevrolet lastly introduced pricing and one other trim for the Silverado EV First Edition RST on Wednesday. Excluding vacation spot fees, the Silverado EV First-Edition RST begins at $94,400. That value is a full $10,600 much less than the unique $105,000 value Chevy introduced for the First-Edition RST two years in the past. Even higher is the elevated vary. Initially, Chevy mentioned this First-Edition would get 400 miles of vary, now, Chevy is saying the First-Edition RST will get 440 miles of vary on a full cost.
That vary quantity offers it the second-highest vary score within the Silverado EV lineup behind the 450 mile Silverado EV 4WT trim. It additionally simply beats out opponents just like the Ford F-150 Lightning XLT and Lariat trims with the lengthy rage battery (320 miles), Rivian R1T with the Max battery (410 miles) and even GM’s personal GMC Hummer EV which might get 381 miles of vary on the 3X trim. And sure this even beats the Cybertruck’s 340 miles of vary.
Power for the Silverado EV RST is simply as large as its vary. Chevy says it makes 754 horsepower and 758 lb-ft of torque, however that max energy solely comes when the Silverado EV is in Wide Open Watts mode, a mode just like the GMC Hummer EVs cringey named Watts To Freedom mode. You may also use it as a correct truck with its 10,000 pound max tow score in addition to a 1,500 pound payload score. It additionally helps 350 kW DC quick charging in addition to V2L functionality at 7.2 kW.
In addition to straightforward options like an all-glass roof and Chevy’s Multi-Flex Midgate, you get different normal options like four-wheel steering, head-up show, 17-inch touchscreen show and Super Cruise.
All that vary and know-how comes at a value (I imply, apart from the MSRP.) A5 8,500 kilos, the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is one more very heavy EV. And should you assume different trims of the Silverado EV might be cheaper, assume once more. Chevy raised the worth of the W/T trim final summer season, axing the promised $39,900 entry value. This signifies that until Chevy decides to come back out with some stripper base LT trim — which doesn’t look possible provided that the subsequent trim of the Silverado EV is an off-road Trail Boss, you gained’t have the ability to get right into a Silverado EV for lower than $79,800.
