Silverado EV
Unleash your stampede of electric horsepower in Parsippany with the Silverado EV. Your Chevy EV will be powered by dual electric motors with a base level horsepower of 510 with 615 lb.-ft. of torque. Not too bad for an entry-level EV truck. But that number will jump by more than 200 electric ponies with the available max power Wide Open Watts Mode. This feature is available on the RST First Edition and delivers a GM-estimated 754 horsepower and 785 lb.-ft. of torque. Max towing and payload stand at 10,000 lbs. and 1,400 lbs., respectively, with plans for a fleet model capable of hauling 20,000 lbs.

The Ford F-150 has set the bar high. But has the Silverado EV eclipsed its performance capability? Let's see. The F-150 Lightning offers two electric motors coupled with all-wheel drive. The standard battery range offers 452 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque. The extended battery range delivers 580 horsepower with the same torque output. The extended-range battery provides a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs. with a 2,000-lb. max payload.
Rivian R1T
The Rivian R1T offers two or four electric motors, depending on the trim. The Dual Motor configuration will provide 600 horsepower with 600 lb.-ft. of torque.

It delivers 415 horsepower and 413 lb.-ft. of torque to the front axle, 420 horsepower, and 495 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear axle for an output of 835 horsepower and 908 lb.-ft. of torque.

Additionally, you'll replenish at least 100 miles in 10 minutes or less. And when fully charged, you'll have an EPA-estimated 450-mile range of uninterrupted traveling.
F-150 Lightning
The Ford F-150 Lightning's extended range battery will carry this Ford truck EV an EPA-estimated 320 miles when fully charged.

Interior Design and Safety
Interior Design and Safety
Silverado EV
You'll find two-tone black-and-white leather upholstery with red piping inside your cabin. The column-mounted stalk creates a huge storage space between the dashboard and the middle armrest. The standard 11-inch and 8-inch infotainment/cluster screen already seems like an upgrade. But the available 17-inch diagonal LCD infotainment screen pairs with an 11-inch diagonal cluster screen for a pristine front-row view in Dover, NJ. The available head-up display expands to 14 inches, and the new hands-free start will fire up your Chevy EV as you enter. The Silverado EV will include available features like Super Cruise, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and more.
F-150 Lightning
Customers will have to settle with a five-seat Crew Cab style, as this is the setup for all trims. Vinyl upholstery and heated front seats are standard. Upgrades include leather or Nirvana leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
