If you’re shopping a new Chevy Silverado EV, you have a few more options this year.
After wading into battle against the Ford F-150 Lightning and Tesla Cybertruck for the 2024 model year, we didn’t expect too much to change with the Chevy Silverado EV for 2025. As it happens, the electric Silverado’s lineup is actually expanding, both in terms of trim and battery pack options. The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV lineup also gets better range at the top end, resulting in 492 miles of EPA-estimated driving range for the Work Truck and 460 miles for the RST.
Both represent a substantial boost over the 2024 launch trims, where the Work Truck officially managed around 450 miles on a charge, while the RST achieved about 440 miles. For 2025, the Work Truck range also offers up three battery pack options — Standard Range, Extended Range and Max Range — with prices between $57,095 and $77,795, including Chevrolet’s $2,095 destination fee. Right in the middle, the Extended Range WT carries a sticker price of $69,495, before any options.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for the initial Silverado EV rollout wasn’t just the high barrier to entry, period, but that there was no bridge between the “cheap” WT trims and the. top-end RST, which teases the $100,000 mark. While the RST is still pricey (more on that in a moment), the 2025 Chevy Silverado LT helps bridge the gap on looks, performance, range and package features.
This new LT trim sports a dual-motor setup with 645 horserpower and 745 lb-ft of torque on tap. Again, that sits right in between the WT’s 510 horsepower/615 lb-ft setup and the RST’s 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque. As you’d expect, the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT also gets an improved infotainment experience over the Work Truck by way of more screen, with an 11.3-inch driver cluster and a 17.7-inch center display.
Even with the better feature set, further bolstered by a $6,800 Premium Package, the LT tows the same 12,500 pounds as the lower WT trim. Payload capacity for the LT comes in at 1,800 pounds. As far as specific content, the Premium Package adds in 22-inch machined aluminum wheels, Chevy’s Multi-Flex midgate and Super Cruise capability.
The full 2025 Chevy Silverado EV trim walk runs between $57,095 and $97,895.
At the top end of the range, the RST trim gets a little bit cheaper…and a little bit more expensive. Unlike 2024, where the top-spec Silverado EV only came in a single First Edition model, there are technically two RSTs this time around. A less expensive variant, the “2SP” with the Extended Range battery, is available for $89,395 and manages up to 390 miles on a charge.
The “3SP”, as it were, is the Max Range version that comes in at $97,895, offering up 460 miles on a charge. Unlike the WT and LT trims, the RST rides on adaptive air suspension with adjustable ride height.
Full pricing
With the current EV incentive program, 2025 Chevy Silverado EV WT models come in under the $80,000 MSRP limit, therefore qualifying for the full $7,500 credit. Certain state incentives may apply as well, depending on where you live. The LT also qualifies, with the Premium Package squeaking in just under the cap (it technically comes out to $79,900, before you factor in destination).
Like before, neither of the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV RST trims qualify for the $7,500 incentive.
Most Silverado EV trims can still DC fast-charge up to 350 kW in the best possible conditions (Chevrolet lists 300 kW for the LT), while 240-volt Level 2 chargers running at up to 19.2 kW/80 amps can charge 34 miles each hour.
Chevrolet says the updated Silverado EV trucks will arrive later this year, with one caveat. Considering there’s not that much time left in 2024, you should expect to see these trucks (including the new LT) hit dealers in the coming weeks. If you’re looking to shop the base Silverado EV WT Standard Range, you’ll have to wait a little longer. Chevrolet said that model will get an official range estimate later this year, so you’ll likely have to wait until early 2025 if you want to pick up a WT for under $60,000 before the tax credit.
