Driving and Range

Range matters—but what really counts is how far you can go without second-guessing it. The Silverado EV offers an available GM-estimated range of up to 450+ miles on a full charge, which drastically outperforms the F-150 Lightning’s top 320-mile estimate. Whether you’re driving from St. Louis to Lake of the Ozarks or hauling across the state, that extra mileage means fewer stops and more peace of mind. The Silverado EV also supports DC fast charging up to 350 kW, adding roughly 100 miles in just 10 minutes, making it the faster option when you're in a pinch.

Beyond impressive range, the Silverado EV utilizes Chevrolet’s advanced Ultium battery technology, offering superior durability, performance consistency, and longevity compared to traditional EV batteries—including the one used by the F-150 Lightning. Additionally, the Silverado EV features bi-directional charging capabilities, allowing it not just to consume power but to supply electricity back to your home, worksite, or other vehicles. This means in emergency situations or at remote job locations, your Silverado EV can become a reliable power source—something the Lightning doesn't fully match in flexibility or capacity. Lastly, Chevrolet’s intelligent energy regeneration system is optimized specifically for improved efficiency in city driving conditions, capturing energy during braking and stop-and-go scenarios more effectively than the Lightning. Together, these advanced charging and range technologies make the Silverado EV distinctly better suited to handle diverse real-world driving demands.
