Our corporate colleagues at AutoGuide have scanned the Chevrolet Silverado EV first drives and noticed something -- the truck is almost certainly not going to have the previously promised price of $39,900 before destination fees.
It looks like the first units for sale will be the $79,800 4WT trim -- these trucks are meant for fleet sales. The $74,000 3WT trim is soon to follow, and AG speculates that the lower trims won't come in at less than $60K.
We shall see, but we can't say we're surprised, given the popularity of trucks -- and how that drives up pricing (I priced a mid-trim Silverado for funsies this morning and it came out to over $65,000) -- and the cost of building these EV trucks.
Cheap EV trucks will likely be on the market someday. Today, it appears, is not that day.
