This will comprise fleet customer-exclusive 3WT and 4WT models powered by two electric motors, one in the front and one in the back, producing 510 horsepower combined. The prices on the truck skyrocket from there, more than doubling until you reach the top-of-the-line RST’s $107,000 price with 754 hp on tap.
All this information means that the Silverado EV will undercut the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro by over $10,000 and offer 130 miles more range; if this can’t help it match the Lightning in sales, nothing will. If we were bigwigs at Ford right now, we’d be making some serious phone calls right now.
Ram’s first electric truck, the Ram 1500 REV, is claimed to have a 350-mile range in base form, which is 100 miles shy of the Silverado 1500 EV WT. However, the Ram will also have the option of a gargantuan 229 kWh battery that Ram claims will grant it 500 miles on a charge – a figure the EPA has not yet verified.
