Chevy offers first glimpse of more affordable Silverado EV LT
Chevrolet released the first images of the Silverado EV LT, a more affordable version of its first electric truck. The reveal follows the successful launches of the Silverado EV WT (Work Truck) and the top-tier First-Edition RST.
The Silverado WT, introduced in late 2023, comes with 510 horsepower output and 615 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the RST, which joined the lineup in May 2024, takes it up a notch with 754 horsepower and over 785 lb-ft of torque in Wide Open Watts Mode. This power allows the RST to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds.
2025 Chevy Silverado EV LTBoth trims support DC fast charging up to 350 kW, offering an estimated 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes and a GM-estimated range of up to 450 miles. The WT starts at approximately $75,000, while the fully loaded First-Edition RST exceeds $96,000. Not what we could call an affordable pickup truck.
Enter the Silverado EV LT, designed to make the truck accessible to a wider audience. Chevrolet describes the LT as versatile and ready for everyday use, featuring a distinct lower front bumper, unique exterior lighting elements, and an interior full of the latest tech. We get the same 17.7-inch infotainment and 11.3-inch driver displays found in the RST, along with exterior LED lighting, including the illuminated bowtie emblem.
2025 Chevy Silverado EV LTThe LT will also offer a 180 cm bed available with Chevy's Multi-Flex Tailgate, and buyers can opt for 22-inch aluminum wheels with aero inserts. Like its siblings, the Silverado EV LT will ride on GM's Ultium platform, with an extended-range battery pack delivering a range of nearly 400 miles.
Chevy has hinted that the LT will be a future trim, potentially a 2025 model, and an off-road Trail Boss upgrade is also on the horizon. Although official pricing details are yet to be released, the LT is expected to start at a more accessible price point, somewhere between $55,000 and $65,000.
