It’s been more than two years since Chevrolet first revealed the 2024 Silverado EVbut retail customers will finally be able to order the full-size electric truck in time for delivery this summer.
The first version on offer is a Silverado EV First-Edition RST, which Chevy announced Wednesday with a price tag of $96,495, including a $1,995 destination charge.
That’s steep, but the price is about $9,000 cheaper than the original advertised price when the vehicle was first shown.
Early build slots will go to reservation holders, and as a bonus for keeping your reservations, Chevy will add a GM Energy Powershift two-way charger with 19.2 kW output at no extra cost.
