The Chevrolet Silverado EV has become the most affordable full-size electric pickup in the US following the discontinuation of the Ford F-150 Lightning, with 2027 models now priced starting at $53,200. While GM sees modest price hikes across the lineup and brings back the Trail Boss trim, this title is expected to be short-lived as Ford prepares to launch its new Fathom and next-generation electric trucks.

  • GN auto tech/ev: electric vehicle reveals that the 2027 Silverado EV starts at $53,200, marking a $400 increase over the previous year, while the popular Trail Boss trim returns with enhanced off-road capabilities. The report also notes that Ford is replacing the discontinued F-150 Lightning with the upcoming Fathom and a new extended-range model, which will eventually challenge Chevy's price lead.
