2026 Chevy Silverado EV Debuts with Trail Boss Trim, 793 km Range, and Lower Prices

Chevrolet is going all-in on electric trucks with the 2026 Silverado EV, bringing serious power, extended range, and rugged capability to the table. Designed to challenge traditional expectations, this all-electric pickup blends workhorse utility with sportscar-worthy performance, and now comes with new off-road capability and lower prices across the lineup.

Up to 793 km of Range & Surprising Acceleration

The 2026 Chevy Silverado EV is built to perform:

Range: Up to 793 km (EPA-estimated)

Towing capacity: Up to 5,670 kg

0–97 km/h: Just 4.5 seconds (about as fast as the legendary Nissan R34 GT-R)

This makes it one of the most capable and longest-range electric trucks on the market.

New Trail Boss Trim Adds Off-Road Power

New for 2026 is the Trail Boss variant, designed for off-road enthusiasts. It includes:

725 hp (760 hp in Open Watts Mode)

5 cm lift with 24% more ground clearance

35-inch all-terrain tires

Exclusive Terrain Mode for better off-road control

Red tow hooks, Trail Boss badging, and aggressive front styling

It’s both a head-turner and a trail-tamer.

Practical Utility: Multi-Flex Midgate & Payload

Chevy’s clever Multi-Flex Midgate remains a highlight. It expands the bed into the cabin for up to 3.3 meters of cargo space—ideal for transporting long items like lumber or kayaks. Maximum payload tops out at 953 kg.

Lower Prices Across the Lineup

Chevrolet has cut prices on the Silverado EV lineup for 2026, making electric trucks more accessible than ever:

Trim Range (km) Starting Price (USD)

Compared to last year, the LT trim is nearly $10,000 cheaper, and even the base Work Truck is $2,200 less.

Inside, the 2026 Silverado EV features:

17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment

11-inch digital driver display

Optional 14-inch Head-Up Display (HUD)

Google built-in services

This makes the Silverado EV not only capable but also smart and comfortable.
