The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is gearing up to hit the market soon, with GM releasing some updated details before deliveries begin in mid-2024.
One exciting update is the official range estimate, which has exceeded Chevy’s initial promise. The RST model is now rated for an impressive 440 miles on a full charge, surpassing the original estimate of 400 miles. This makes it the second-longest range Silverado EV, with only the 4WT model surpassing it at 450 miles. However, the 4WT sacrifices luxury and comfort features for a slightly higher range. It’s worth noting that the Silverado EV now leads the pack in terms of range among electric pickups, outperforming competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Tesla Cybertruck, and Rivian R1T.
In addition, the final starting price has been revealed for the First-Edition RST model. This fully-loaded version of the Silverado EV will start at $96,495, which includes the $1,995 destination charge. This price is an improvement over Chevy’s initial estimate, showing a decrease of nearly $10,000. It’s essential to remember how prices for new EVs have fluctuated in the past, like when the Work Truck’s price increased from $39,900 to $77,905 upon release.
For those eager to learn more, a review of the driving experience of the Work Truck model is available. And for a comprehensive look at the RST model, the original reveal details can be found. Lower-priced trims will be introduced later, but the specific on-sale dates have not been announced by GM yet.
