Electric truck drivers have more options than ever before, including the Chevy Silverado EV. How does this model compare to the Tesla Cybertruck, and why will many drivers prefer the Chevrolet model? The Chevrolet Van Nuys team highlights some key differences between these two electric trucks.
Performance
The Chevy Silverado EV pulls its weight at every opportunity, with its available Wide Open Watts powertrain delivering up to 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough power for rugged driving in outdoor environments, as well as urban and highway driving. The Tesla Cybertruck has a maximum standard 600 horsepower and 744 lb-ft of torque on the standard electric powertrain. The Chevy Silverado EV also has the edge for towing; you can tow up to 12,000 lbs behind this model, while the Tesla Cybertruck can only tow up to 11,000 lbs.
Range
You can go farther in the Chevy Silverado EV without needing to recharge. It has a maximum estimated electric range of 460 miles, which is more than enough for most common use cases. By comparison, the Tesla Cybertruck can only drive up to 340 miles before recharging, so their owners will have to make more frequent pit stops on longer trips.
Exterior Finishes
The Tesla Cybertruck has numerous wraps that let you customize the exterior color, but these are only available at an additional cost. You can customize the Chevy Silverado EV with six standard finishes at no additional cost, letting you find the perfect aesthetic without worrying about added fees. Available colors on the Chevy Silverado EV include:
- Black
- Summit White
- Habanero Orange
- Slate Gray Metallic
- Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic
- Riptide Blue Metallic
