If you were looking forward to getting your hands on a sub-$40,000 Chevrolet Silverado EV, we have some bad news for you: it isn’t going to happen.
The entry-level variant will retail for $10,000 more than Chevrolet had initially hoped; the GM-owned brand initially impressed consumers with promises of a $39,900 MSRP (excluding delivery), but the automaker no longer thinks this target is possible.
Chevrolet’s literature has been altered to reflect the new pricing. As per the automaker’s media website, “MSRPs [will start] from $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, $80,000.” Since the WT (Work Truck) derivative was previously touted as the entry-level model, that’s the one that will cost $50k.
