Chevrolet has announced the 2025 Silverado EV pickup truck and stated that customers in 2024 stated the following two barriers to purchasing an EV Pickup, Range and Price.

• More choices will be available for Work Truck – including a new Slate Gray exterior color.

For the 2025 RST Silverado EV trim:

The Silverado EV RST will be available with two different battery pack options and offers a max range of 460 miles.

The 2025 Silverado EV RST also includes Sidewinder as standard equipment. Sidewinder, one of Silverado EV RST’s standard four-wheel steering modes, allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction and move the truck diagonally at speeds up to 20 mph. The feature, selectable from the infotainment screen, gives drivers a new way to conquer everything from rugged terrain to tight parking spaces.

The RST is available in six exterior colors, including trim-exclusive Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic.

It's not the best looking truck but, damn, that range is fantastic. I do love the overall package of this, outside of the lack of CarPlay.

What they are missing, is standard range LT that is like $62,500 ($55k after tax credit).  I imagine that will come, and they are pushing higher end trims until they can make more batteries.  But once you get the price down, I think sales take off.  As much as people pay crazy money for pick up trucks, you can't survive on the $80-90k stuff.
