The American manufacturer explained that the «green» pickup truck will be more expensive in the launch version due to economic pressure and supply chain problems.
In the US, the segment of all-electric full-size pickups is actively developing. One of the first-born was the GMC Hummer EV, which General Motors launched into series in December 2021. The manufacturer decided not to stop there, so in January 2022, the Chevrolet Silverado EV was presented at CES in Las Vegas, which, in theory, was addressed to a less “rich” audience than the top Hummer.

By the way, these versions are only available to fleet owners. And the price tag of the top option, which private buyers can afford — RST — is already $ 106,895. Sales of such a car will start in the coming autumn, and the basic version will appear in 2024. Chevrolet Silverado EV RST
