The Chevrolet Silverado EV is a battery electric full-size pickup truck manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand. Introduced in January 2022, the Silverado EV went on sale in 2023 for the 2024 model year in the North American market.

Despite using the Silverado nameplate, the vehicle does not share its underpinnings with the ICE-powered Silverado, as it is built on a narrower version of the dedicated electric platform used by the GMC Hummer EV. The Silverado EV is the first Chevrolet-branded electric pickup truck since the experimental S-10 EV and VIA VTRUX.[4]

The GMC counterpart, the GMC Sierra EV, was introduced in October 2022 with a restyled exterior and interior design.[5]
