2024 Chevy Silverado EV Has an EPA-Estimated Range of up to 450 Miles

The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck has an EPA-estimated range of up to 450 miles.While Chevy previously estimated the Work Truck (WT) would get 400 miles per charge, the 450-mile figure is the EPA-certified estimate.Set to launch first, the Silverado EV WT for fleet customers boasts 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque.

CLARIFICATION 5/19/23: A Chevy spokesperson has clarified that the Silverado EV Work Truck’s previously claimed 400 miles of range was its own estimate and the new 450-mile figure is the result of EPA certification.

The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV will be able to go farther on a full charge than initially expected, at least the version that’s available to fleet customers. Chevy has announced the base-level Work Truck trim has an estimated range of 450 miles, according to the EPA.

Previously, Chevy estimated the Silverado EV Work Truck (WT) would have a range of 400 miles. However, the EPA has certified a higher estimate of 450 miles per charge. Meanwhile, the snazzier and more powerful RST model stands pat with an EPA-estimated 400 miles of range. The RST is expected to have a battery pack as large as 200 kWh, but it’s unclear whether the fleet-oriented WT will have a bigger capacity that unlocks the extra range.

Car and Driver reached out to a Chevy spokesperson to find out what led to the WT’s longer-than-expected range, but they would only confirm that the higher estimate is the result of the EPA’s certification along with “real-world testing and development over the past several months.”

Among the Silverado EV lineup, the WT will first be made available to fleet customers sometime this summer. Its all-wheel-drive, dual-motor powertrain develops 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque. The WT for fleets also offers DC fast-charging speeds of up to 350 kW, which Chevy claims can add 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. After the initial launch, the company plans to offer a WT model for fleets that can tow up to 20,000 pounds.

Pricing for the fleet-oriented 2024 Silverado EV Work Truck hasn’t been made official. However, Chevy is currently taking orders with refundable $100 reservations on its consumer site, which also lists the WT’s starting price at $41,595.

Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
