Feel the Electrified Power of the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV

With each model year that is introduced, more and more electric vehicles (EVs) are not only making their debut but also hitting the road. In fact, there were over three million electric and hybrid vehicles sold in the US in 2024 alone. Those numbers might make you start to wonder—if you haven’t already—just how seamlessly an EV would fit into your driving routine.

At DePaula Chevrolet, we’re proud of the work that the Chevy brand is doing to improve sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint, such as offering vehicles that provide drivers with the power to go further than ever before and committing to using renewable energy during the manufacturing process as well as making every effort to reduce waste. The brand’s lineup also includes three solid options when it comes to EVs, including the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV.

The Silverado EV, which was introduced in 2022 and hit dealership lots in 2024, is a great option to consider if you’re wanting to take steps to reduce your own carbon footprint, as well as take advantage of the latest technology when it comes to towing, connectivity, and safety. Plus, the truck offers a smooth ride, responsive handling, impressive power, and performance. Wondering how this particular EV fits into your driving routine? Keep reading to learn more.

Taking a Look “Under the Hood” of the Silverado EV

Normally, when asking what powers a vehicle, you might ask to see what’s under the hood. In the case of the Silverado EV, the answer isn’t what you would expect. Where the engine would normally be, you will find what is known as an eTrunk. The eTrunk offers convenient, weatherproof, and lockable storage space that regular, gas-powered engine trucks don’t. What can you do with this space? Almost anything you want. For instance, depending on the trim, you might find a drain plug, allowing you to store wet items, or a 120V outlet so you can power up tools, a radio, and more. In general, the 10.7 cubic foot space can be used to store groceries, luggage, gear, and a variety of other things that you need to keep locked up when you’re on the go.

Now, back to wondering what powers the Silverado EV. The truck uses the GM Ultium platform. This platform is a modular electric vehicle (EV) system that can accommodate a variety of vehicle types, including compact cars, heavy trucks, and SUVs. Included in the platform are large-format pouch-style cells that can be stacked vertically or horizontally within the battery pack, which optimizes space and performance for various vehicle designs. Ultium’s software-driven design also supports over-the-air updates and enhanced driver assistance systems. For the 2025 Silverado EV, you will find that it is powered by two electric motors, as well as a standard, extended, or max-range battery, depending on the trim. When properly equipped, the RST trim offers the best driving range, allowing you to drive up to 460 miles on a full charge, according to GM.

It’s also important to understand where and how you can charge the Silverado EV, especially if you’re researching how well it fits into your daily routine. The good news is that the brand offers a variety of options, from charging at home to using a public charging station. Also, you will be happy to learn that when taking advantage of its 350 kW DC fast-charging capabilities, you can gain up to 100 miles of range in just ten minutes. This is perfect when you find yourself on the go more often than not and need to quickly power up. At home, the Silverado EV can be charged via a professionally installed Level 2 charging station. While Level 1 charging can also be accomplished at home, it should be used as a backup option. You can quickly find public charging stations using the myChevrolet mobile app. With over 250,000 options, finding one nearby is generally not a problem.

The Power and Innovative Features You’re Looking for in a Great Pickup

Beyond giving you the opportunity to go further than ever before and providing you with functional and convenient storage space, the Silverado EV stands out in other ways as well. For instance, it gives you impressive towing capabilities, maxing out at 12,500 lbs. There’s also an available Dual Motor 4WD system that simultaneously delivers torque to all four wheels for maximum traction. Speaking of the wheels, the truck can also be equipped with Sidewinder. This system allows you to turn all four wheels in the same direction to move diagonally at low speeds, giving you the ability to navigate tight spaces and varied terrain with ease.

Inside the truck, you will find an available 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment screen and an available 11-inch diagonal driver information center. Between the two, you gain valuable information and access to your favorite apps, thanks to a seamless connection to either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Need more data? The optional 14-inch Head-Up Display has you covered. You will also find plenty of head and legroom for you and your passengers, as well as comfortable seating and a smooth ride, especially when equipped with the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. This system adjusts to road conditions to ensure a more enjoyable drive, along with giving you the ability to adjust the truck’s height to allow for easier entry and departure.

One of the many reasons drivers choose a truck is its functionality, whether you plan to use it at the worksite, check off your to-do list at home, or haul the family camper on the weekends. When you opt for the Silverado EV, you will find that functionality is its middle name, particularly when it’s equipped with the available Multi-Flex Midgate with pass-through and available Multi-Flex Tailgate. For starters, when the midgate is fully engaged, the rear glass is removed, the tailgate is down, and the primary load gate stop is in place, gaining you a maximum of 10 feet, 10 inches in length. For reference, that allows you to easily haul a couch, ladder, lumber, or camping gear without ever batting an eye.

The Silverado EV can also be equipped with Super Cruise, which is GM’s hands-free driving system. Not only is this system compatible with over 750,000 miles of roadway throughout the United States and Canada, but it’s also able to be used when towing. Even better? The system has been given the MotorTrend Best Tech of 2025 award. This technology, in addition to a long list of driver assistance safety features, such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and more, helps ensure you get to your destination safely every time.
