- The new figure is for the fleet-oriented Work Truck trim level, which Chevy previously claimed would go 400 miles on a full charge.
- Set to launch first, the Silverado EV Work Truck for fleet customers boasts 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV will be able to go farther on a full charge than initially expected, at least the version that’s available to fleet customers. Chevy has announced the base-level Work Truck trim now has an estimated EPA range of 450 miles.
Previously, the Silverado EV Work Truck (WT) had an estimated range of 400 miles, which remains the estimate for the snazzier RST model, per the EPA. The latter is expected to have a battery pack as large as 200 kWh, but it’s unclear whether the fleet-oriented WT will have more capacity that unlocks the extra range. Car and Driver reached out to a Chevy spokesperson to find out what led to the WT’s extended range, but we’ve yet to hear back.
Among the Silverado EV lineup, the WT will first be made available to fleet customers sometime this summer. Its all-wheel-drive, dual-motor powertrain develops 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque. The WT for fleets also offers DC fast-charging speeds of up to 350 kW, which Chevy claims can add 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. After the initial launch, the company plans to offer a WT model for fleets that can tow up to 20,000 pounds.
Pricing for the fleet-oriented 2024 Silverado EV Work Truck hasn’t been made official. However, Chevy is currently taking orders with refundable $100 reservations on its consumer site, which also lists the WT’s starting price at $41,595.

Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
