2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 EV

Ultium Battery Technology

Easy Charging and More Range

The all-new and all-electric 2024 Silverado EV gets its capability from a series of 24 Ultium battery modules that can be quickly and easily charged with standard DC fast charging. Put simply, DC fast charging lets drivers add up to 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes of charge time, and with the available public network of DC fast-charging stations expanding almost daily, charging your Silverado EV is as easy as pulling up to the pump.

The best news about GM’s Ultium battery technology is its affordability. Early Chevy EV batteries were heavy and expensive; vehicles like the new 2024 Silverado EV now rely on batteries that cost 90 percent less to build, which means high production costs aren’t passed to consumers. Ultium technology is also why GM has confidently committed to manufacturing 30 new EV models by 2025 and moving to an all-electric lineup by 2035. It’s a bold plan, but one that works when the core technology is as advanced as the Ultium battery system. Also, Ultium batteries are more powerful, which extends driving range, eliminating the “range anxiety” felt by consumers.

Smaller and Lighter Batteries

Each lithium-ion Ultium battery weighs approximately three pounds and can store much more energy than older EV battery types. The lighter weight and higher capacity are at the core of the Silverado’s impressive performance specifications. Also, these batteries are flat and stackable. They reside on the Silverado’s chassis and take up very little space, meaning buyers get a roomier cabin with flat floors (say goodbye to the old transmission hump!).

Chevy offers buyers a confidence-inspiring 100,000-mile battery warranty, and because of the Ultium battery architecture, the Silverado EV achieves even better performance than traditional gas or diesel-powered models. Buyers can expect plenty of acceleration, towing and hauling capability, and even portable generator-like power for use at job sites, campsites, or even your own home in the event of a power outage.

Performance and Capability

Feel the Power

First and foremost, all EVs offer instantly available torque. What does that mean? Pressing the accelerator pedal elicits an immediate response. There’s no delay while the engine gets up to speed; instead, you touch the pedal, and away you go. If you’re behind the wheel of a 2024 Chevy Silverado EV, that means you’re tapping into up to 664-horsepower and 780 lb-ft of torque, offering a zero-to-sixty time of a blistering 4.5 seconds.

Not only that, but the Silverado EV’s 24-module battery pack delivers enough power to allow up to 10,000 pounds of towing and 1,300 pounds of payload. The all-new chassis features independent front and rear suspensions with both a front and a rear motor that are tasked with distributing power to the wheels via e4WD. In short, this truck performs in just about any driving scenario, from brisk acceleration on the pavement to capable off-roading on the trail.

High Speed, Low Drag Design

Chevy designed the Silverado EV’s front end for optimal aerodynamics. It directs air down and away from the front of the grille, effectively reducing drag, which is the resistance generated when the truck moves forward. The result is one of the lowest drag coefficients found on any pickup truck in history and one of the main reasons this truck can boast a 400-mile driving range on a single charge. The RST trim includes an Automatic Adaptive Air Suspension that can raise or lower the truck up to two inches, providing even better aerodynamics.

Though the 2024 Silverado launch includes two trims–the base WT and the flagship Silverado EV RST. The RST includes four-wheel steering, a system that tightens the turning radius at slow speeds by engaging all four wheels to perform the turn. The RST also features GM’s Super Cruise technology, which offers hands-free driving on 200,000 miles of roads across North America.

Ultramodern Ultifi Technology

The Future is Here

No advanced EV is complete without equally advanced operating software. For the 2024 Silverado EV, that’s where Ultifi comes in. This advanced system is accessible via a massive 17-inch LCD infotainment touchscreen and a companion 11-inch digital driver display on the RST trim. Add to that an available 14-inch head-up display, and the entire dash area resembles a NASA spaceship cockpit.

All that digital real estate isn’t just for show either–every display has a purpose. Whether it’s monitoring driving range or keeping track of your trailer, the system is designed to automate many common and repetitive actions, taking the drudgery out of things like hooking up a trailer. Even the smallest details are designed for optimal convenience. Aesthetically, the dash is sleek and modern, which is just how it should look on a technology-centric EV.

Making Your Day Easier

Here’s an example of the Silverado’s Ultifi technology: once your smartphone is paired to the Ultifi system, your truck will start automatically when you slide into the driver’s seat. It’s a hands-free system that starts the truck for you, freeing up drivers to buckle their seat belts and get settled. Sure, it may seem over the top, but these small conveniences add up to make driving so much easier and more enjoyable. In the future, Ultifi will offer even more conveniences, including enhanced Teen Driver capabilities for added safety.

Ultifi is officially referred to as an end-to-end software platform. It enhances connectivity and allows over-the-air updates, which means your truck always runs on the latest software version. Ultifi means your infotainment system runs lightning-fast and contains sufficient security protocols to eliminate worries about hackers accessing your vehicle. Utifi joins the Ultium battery technology to deliver a truck that operates intelligently to elevate the driving experience.

Further, Ultifi offers Silverado EV owners the opportunity to fully customize their infotainment screens, choosing from an ever-changing array of available apps and seamlessly connecting smartphones and smart home devices. The platform is designed to scale as technology advances, so future versions may provide a gateway for more autonomous driving technology and greater connectivity with at-home devices, like security systems.
