You can’t buy the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV First Edition RST yet. But Chevrolet has already dropped its price.
The Silverado electric vehicle (EV) has technically been on sale for a few months, but only in its bare-bones form, the 4WT (work truck). Chevrolet is preparing to ship the top-of-the-line RST First Edition trim to dealers. We expect trims between those two to appear later.
When Chevy first showed off the ultra-luxe RST First Edition, they set an asking price of $106,895 (including a $1,895 destination charge). This week, they dropped that price by $10,500 to $96,395.
That’s not all the good news for interested buyers. Chevrolet had estimated a range of 400 miles between charging sessions. But the final EPA-certified number, released this week, is 440 miles.
That easily bests the Ford F-150 Lightning’s 320-mile maximum and the 340 of the Tesla Cybertruck.
The RST First Edition is the model more likely to be attractive to those buying a family truck. It gets more power (up to 754 horsepower to the 4WT’s 510) and luxury-car-like creature comforts, including a 17-inch touchscreen controlling climate and entertainment functions. The latest version of GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway tech lets it tow a trailer without much driver input.
About the Silverado EV
The Silverado EV doesn’t share a single part with the Silverado 1500 pickup you’re probably more familiar with.
It’s not GM’s first electric truck – the GMC Hummer EV Pickup takes that honor – but it’s likely to be the more common one. It features sleek sport truck looks, 4-wheel steering, and an innovative midgate that lets you store items longer than its bed can hold.
It comes only in a 4-door/5-passenger configuration. Under the sloped hood sits a front trunk with an available power-opening lid.
RST First Edition models can tow 10,000 pounds but carry only 1,300 in payload. The 4WT tows 10,000 and carries 1,400. “After initial launch, Chevrolet will introduce a fleet model with up to 20,000 pounds max trailering with the max tow package,” the company says.
