7.1/10How this is calculated

By , editorUpdated How we work out these numbers

The EPA rates the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range at 493 miles combined and 49.5 kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall, which is 68 MPGe. Only 1 car here uses more. City and highway split 539 and 437 miles, a 19 per cent drop on the highway.

Those figures come from the regulator and are used in the comparison tables, the efficiency and range rankings and the per-state charging costs on this site. The rest of the record is not yet sourced: usable battery capacity, DC peak power and the 10–80 per cent charging time have no published figure credited here, so this page does not state them. They will appear when they can be credited to a named source, and not before.

Range & efficiency

EPA, WLTP and CLTC are different tests, not different opinions about one number. They sit side by side here and are never converted into one another.

Cost of ownership

Prices are sourced separately per market. A US price and a European price are two different market prices, not one price at an exchange rate, so this site never converts between them.

Safety & risk

Crash ratings come from the testing bodies. The battery safety score is our own composite and its formula is published on the methodology page.

Projected battery capacity

Projected straight-line from 2.7% a year — the published rate for this vehicle class, not a measurement of this car. Nobody releases per-model degradation data: the one fleet dataset large enough to matter anonymises the models. Capacity loss is driven as much by calendar age as by mileage, which is why it is reported per year rather than per kilometre. Real packs vary with climate, how long the car sits at a high state of charge, and how much of its charging is done at high-power DC.

The battery warranty replaces the pack below 75% capacity. This projection reaches 78.4% at eight years.
