DETROIT -  Fans of one of General Motors' best-selling vehicles will someday have the option of owning one that is entirely powered by electricity.

General Motors President Mark Reuss on Tuesday announced Chevrolet will introduce a Silverado electric pickup truck that will be built at the company’s Factory ZERO assembly plant in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan. Reuss also confirmed the recently revealed GMC HUMMER EV SUV will be built at Factory ZERO.

Both vehicles will be powered by GM’s Ultium Platform.  GM is currently building a $2.3 billion Ultium battery cell plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and has announced plans to construct a second battery plant at an as-yet-undisclosed location.

GM says it plans to design an electric full-size pickup with an estimated range of more than 400 miles on a full charge. The company plans to develop both retail and fleet versions of the Silverado EV.

“The vehicles coming from Factory ZERO will change the world, and how the world views electric vehicles,” said Reuss. “The GMC Hummer EV SUV joins its stablemate in the realm of true super trucks, and Chevrolet will take everything Chevy’s loyal truck buyers love about Silverado — and more — and put it into an electric pickup that will delight retail and commercial customers alike.”

In 2019, GM announced the formation of Ultium Cells LLC, a joint venture with LG Energy Solution to mass-produce battery cells in Lordstown, Ohio for future battery-electric vehicles.

The Lordstown Ultium plant is being constructed near the former GM Assembly plant now occupied by Lordstown Motors Corporation which plans to produce an electric pickup truck that will be marketed to industrial and commercial customers.

Saying it plans to deliver more than 1 million electric vehicles worldwide by 2025, GM says it has reduced vehicle development times by nearly 50 percent to just over two years.

A news release from GM did not say when it expects the Silverado EV to be available.
