The Chevrolet Silverado EV is attracting attention in the automotive world with its innovative range capabilities. While its most efficient configuration already offers an impressive 500-mile range, General Motors engineers have recently exceeded expectations by more than doubling that distance.

GM’s 2026 Silverado EV Max Range WT drives 1,059 miles on one charge, setting a new world record and showcasing next-gen electric truck innovation.

The record-breaking achievement came behind the wheel of a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range Work Truck, which went 1,059.2 miles on a full charge, breaking Lucid’s 749-mile record. This truck is rated by the EPA for a 493 mile range, so how was it able to more than double that figure?
