The way we drive is changing, and Chevrolet intends to be a part of that future. That means a vehicle is set to make a big debut at dealerships like ours across the nation in the coming year. It's the Chevrolet Silverado EV. The all-new electric truck is coming and those in New Hampton, Middletown, Goshen, Woodbury, Newburgh, and Milford are able to reserve theirs when they get in contact with us at the dealership.
The new Silverado EV is powered by a large battery built into the frame of the vehicle. It gives you 400 miles of all-electric driving on a single charge. It's also easy to charge in public at charging stations, or at home and is compatible with a 120-volt, 240-volt or DC fast charging. On DC fast charging, Chevrolet states that you can get a 100-mile driving range in just 10 minutes of charging. You can also set up an in-home charger so you can plug in while in the garage, or out on the driveway marveling at the Silverado EV's good looks with aerodynamics, modern design, available 24-inch wheels and a suspension for multiple terrains and can be lowered to help you get in and out easier.
Speaking of power and performance, the new Chevrolet Silverado EV has 660 horsepower from the electric system as well as 780 pound-feet of torque. There's also standout towing capacity as it's able to tow 10,000 pounds with the right configuration, and has added capacity depending on the model and package you choose. You'll get versatility from the truck bed with a multi-flex tailgate that you can put into a variety of different positions for your convenience, plus you can even fold down and use a pass through features with 60/40 split fold seats to get up to 10 feet of cargo in when you have the tailgate in the down position. That's versatility many other trucks won't have onboard.
Not only that, you have more than one place to store things other than the truck bed. Since there's no engine block, the hood of the vehicle has a trunk for you to put all sorts of items. Additionally, you get inside there's also a large storage area at the console, since an electric vehicle isn't requiring a traditional transmission.
Furthermore, the technology onboard features a 17-inch touch display which has connectivity for your smartphone along with the likes of full Google integration so you can utilize Google Maps and Google Assistant and much more on the go. There's also plenty of safety to keep you protected and alert and that includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and following distance indicator. You also can find an available panoramic glass roof and even some semi-autonomous driving options for the most modern driving experience.
