The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV takes a familiar approach to going electric. It has a proper pickup bed, available towing capacity of up to 12,500 lbs., 4WD, and the sort of range that makes longer journeys considerably easier to contemplate. Yet there are things an electric platform allows it to do differently, from the available Multi-Flex Midgate® to four-wheel steering. For drivers considering an electric truck around Crowley, LA, the Silverado EV brings those ideas together without losing sight of what a pickup needs to accomplish.
Three Trims, Three Different Priorities
The 2026 Silverado EV lineup consists of Custom, LT, and Trail Boss. Custom starts with a huge 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, 22-inch machined-face aluminum wheels, and a 5-foot-11-inch bed with 8 tie-downs. LT adds more sophisticated exterior lighting and makes both the Multi-Flex Tailgate® and Multi-Flex Midgate® available, expanding the ways longer cargo can be accommodated. Trail Boss moves in a different direction with a 2-inch lift, 18-inch wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires, four-wheel steering, and Sidewinder diagonal steering for drivers who plan to venture farther from pavement.
Range That Changes the EV Conversation
Depending on configuration, the 2026 Silverado EV offers up to a GM-estimated 478 miles of range on a full charge. That's a useful figure in Louisiana, where journeys can involve considerably more than a short urban commute. Available 350-kW DC fast charging can add a GM-estimated 120 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes under suitable conditions. Level 2 charging can add an estimated 24 to 41 miles of range per hour, depending on the charging setup and vehicle configuration. Access to a broad public charging network, including compatible Tesla Supercharger locations, provides another option when traveling farther from home.
Electric Power Has Some Serious Numbers Behind It
Available Wide Open Watts mode gives the Silverado EV up to 760 hp and 775 lbs. ft. of torque, with Chevrolet estimating 0–60 mph acceleration in under 4.5 seconds under appropriate conditions. More relevant to many truck owners is maximum available towing capacity of 12,500 lbs. The dual-motor 4WD system can send power to all 4 wheels with the immediate response associated with an electric drivetrain. Trail Boss adds hardware designed for rougher terrain, while Sidewinder can move the truck diagonally at low speeds to help negotiate certain tight spaces. It's an unusual trick, but one with some very practical applications.
A Cabin Built Around Big Displays
A 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center give the Silverado EV a distinctly modern dashboard, with available Google built-in providing integrated navigation and other compatible functions. An available 14-inch diagonal Head-Up Display can place useful information closer to the driver's line of sight. Available Super Cruise® takes the technology further with hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads and can support hands-free towing in qualifying conditions.
Driver Assistance Comes Standard Too
Chevy Safety Assist brings 6 standard driver-assistance features: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. It's a useful baseline for a full-size truck, particularly one that may spend its time moving between Crowley traffic, highways, worksites, and recreational destinations. Additional available technology can expand that assistance depending on the Silverado EV configuration you choose.
