Built on GM’s Ultium Platform
The Silverado EV RST is based on GM’s dedicated Ultium electric vehicle architecture, allowing for a flat-floor design, high battery capacity, and strong structural integrity.
Huge Power Output in WOW Mode
In its high-performance “Wide Open Watts” (WOW) mode, the RST delivers up to 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful electric trucks on the market.
Impressive Acceleration for a Truck
Despite its size, the Silverado EV RST can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, placing it in sports car territory for acceleration.
DC Fast Charging up to 350 kW
The truck supports 350 kW DC fast charging, enabling a gain of approximately 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes — ideal for road trips and work use.
Four-Wheel Steering System
The Silverado EV RST includes four-wheel steering, which improves maneuverability at low speeds and enhances stability at high speeds — especially useful for tight turns and towing.
Multi-Flex Midgate for Extended Cargo Space
A standout feature is the Multi-Flex Midgate, which allows users to fold down the rear wall between the cabin and bed to carry longer items, such as lumber or ladders.
Towing Capacity of up to 12,500 lbs
This electric truck doesn’t compromise on utility — it can tow up to 12,500 pounds, making it ideal for trailers, boats, or job site equipment.
PowerBase Vehicle-to-Load System
The Silverado EV RST can supply up to 10.2 kW of offboard power, which can be used to power tools, appliances, or even a home during a power outage.
Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving
It comes equipped with Super Cruise, GM’s advanced driver assistance system, allowing hands-free driving on compatible highways.
High-Tech and Comfortable Interior
Inside, the Silverado EV RST offers a 17-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 11-inch digital gauge cluster, and premium materials — merging comfort with cutting-edge technology.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is GM’s flagship electric pickup, combining 754 HP, 640 km WLTP range, and luxury truck features like four-wheel steering and Multi-Flex Midgate. It’s a direct rival to the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T, but with a more traditional truck design.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
(Note: Officially, the Silverado EV isn’t sold in the EU—these are gray market estimates.)
US Imports (Converted to EU Specs)
Base RST (New, US MSRP $105,000 + Import Costs): €130,000 – €150,000
(Includes VAT, homologation, and charging adjustments.)
Used (Theoretical, 10,000+ km): €100,000 – €120,000
(Risky—no EU warranty, charging compatibility questions.)
EU-Compliant Conversions (Rare)
Specialist Importers (e.g., Germany): €150,000 – €180,000
(Why so expensive? TÜV certification, CCS adapter retrofits, etc.)
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Provenance Matters
New, unregistered US model: +€20k premium (no mileage/unknown history).
EU-converted by reputable shop: +€30k+ (proper paperwork is priceless).
✅ Options That Add Value
24" Wheels + Adaptive Air Suspension: +€8k–12k.
Solar Tonneau Cover: +€5k (if functional in EU weather).
Super Cruise (Disabled in EU): –€5k (GM’s autonomy doesn’t work here).
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Charging Woes (US NACS port needs CCS adapter; 800V charging is finicky).
No EU Warranty (GM won’t cover repairs overseas).
Battery Degradation (no EU service centers for diagnostics).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Gray Market Channels
US Military Sales: Some servicemen import via APO, then resell.
Specialist Importers: American Car Center (NL), USACars (DE).
Private Sales (Rare)
Facebook EV Groups, Autoscout24 (search “Silverado EV EU”).
Pro Tip: Wait for GM’s official EU launch (if it happens)—gray market headaches aren’t worth it yet.
4. Market Trends
📉 Depreciation Warning
–20% first year (no EU support kills resale).
Battery tech advancing fast (2024 models may feel outdated by 2026).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Fully EU Certified" claims—most are just TÜV-pending.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔌 EV-Specific:
Test CCS charging (many US EVs charge slower in EU).
Check battery health (GM’s Ultium diagnostics aren’t EU-friendly).
Verify OTA updates work (EU IP blocks may break GM’s software).
🚛 Truck-Specific:
Inspect Midgate seals (leaks = €5k+ fix).
Test four-wheel steering (complex, no EU parts).
Fun Fact: The Silverado EV’s "Power Base" can output 10.2 kW; enough to run a EU house for a day!
Who Buys This?
US expats desperate for a taste of home.
EV tech nerds who must have the latest—regardless of practicality.
GM superfans (yes, they exist in the EU).
Reality Check
The Silverado EV RST is a brilliant truck for the US. In the EU, it’s a €150k science project. Unless you’re a die-hard GM fan or love paperwork, wait for an official launch—or buy a Ford F-150 Lightning (which has limited EU support).
