There's a truck set to make a big debut here at Healey Brothers Chevrolet, and it has plenty of people in Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, Beacon, Wappingers Falls, Hopewell Junction, and Kingston, NY excited. It's the Chevrolet Silverado EV. This new all-electric truck coming as a 2024 model year option is here for you to pre-order and reserve, and we're here to tell you a little more about it!
The Silverado EV is going to have six different trim levels, each with something unique, while offering a host of standard features. It's a modern vehicle in every way, not just because it's powered by an electric driving platform which offers ample capability and power, but because it also is a vehicle that will have self-updating ability too. That includes over the air updates becoming more common on vehicles, which lets you download and add newer features as they get released.
As for how the vehicle is powered, well it uses a large battery electric system situated at the bottom of the truck's frame and it gives you a 400-mile drive range on a single charge. You're able to charge back up with 120-volt, 240-volt, and DC fast charging. With the latter, Chevrolet says you can get to 100 miles of driving distance in 10 minutes. These setups can be found in public as well as getting in home setups, while the purchase of an EV plus setting up your in-home charging station can come with tax benefits. You're also going to look good driving in it with an aerodynamic look, a modern headlight design, plus available 24-inch wheels and more.
As for the power of the new 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV, you're going to find it offers a total system horsepower of 660, plus it has 780 pound-feet of torque. You'll also find its plenty capable as a towing truck as well, as it offers 10,000 pounds of maximum towing with the right setup, and has capacity for more with the right package. Additionally, you're getting plenty of convenience with this truck. The most notable features includes a multi-flex tailgate which you can fashion in a variety of different ways to make it serve your needs. Additionally, you even get what's called pass through, which allows you to fold down the rear seats in a 60/40 split and open up the rear to get larger items up to 10 feet (with the tailgate in the down position) onboard. With tie-downs onboard, that means you can get a larger item on the Silverado EV, and see a whole new level of versatility.
That versatility expands to the front of the truck too. Since it's an electric vehicle with its electric motors built into the frame, there's no need for an engine to sit in the hood. Therefore, it's able to be used as trunk space, offering plenty more storage. The same can be said for inside as well. Since there's not a transmission connected to a traditional gas engine, you'll find a generous large console with lots of places to store things on the inside too.
Inside, drivers can enjoy a large 17-inch touch display with smartphone connectivity and integration with Google technology like Google Assistant and Google Maps. There's also a number of quality safety features automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and following distance indicator. What's more, you also get the option for open-air enjoyment with a panoramic glass roof option and some semi-autonomous driving features too.
