Rechargeable Battery

Mt. Juliet motorists can charge their Silverado EV with 120-volt, 240-volt, or DC Public Fast Charging. There are more than 40,000 public charging stations nationwide and several around the Nashville metro to add 100 miles in 10 minutes. The Lightning can add 30 miles of charge per hour with an 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro, and there are similar on-the-go charging solutions accessible through the Blue Oval™ Charge Network.

Both all-electric trucks offer 10,000 pounds of maximum towing capability, but a future WT model for Chevrolet's EV will tow 20,000 pounds. The Silverado EV delivers 660 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque with wide-open watts, compared to the Lightning's 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque.

Silverado EV vs. F-150 Lightning Design

The Silverado EV uses an all-new battery platform, Ultium, for new power, force, flexibility. There are 24-inch aluminum wheels available and a panoramic fixed glass roof, two design elements the Ford F-150 Lighting doesn't offer.

Both EVs have a frunk, though the Silverado EV appears more spacious than Ford's 14.1 cubic-foot front trunk. Ford's all-electric pickup offers an Interior Work Surface and a Tailgate Work Surface, but the Chevrolet's EV truck is more cargo-friendly. The Silverado EV can fit items over 10 feet in length, as the Multi-Flex Midgate passes through the Multi-Flex Tailgate and load stop. The 60/40 flip-and-fold seat fits objects measuring up to nine feet in length, and the Silverado EV's standard bed fits objects up to six feet in length.
