Electric propulsion is the way of the future for General Motors. The company has been working hard to produce electric systems that are efficient and strong for drivers like you in La Grange, Kentucky. This is evident in the new HUMMER EV and the upcoming Silverado EV, which illustrate why it’s a smart idea to buy an electric truck.
Greater strength
When you think about electric vehicles, you might image something weak and ineffective. This is no longer true. The Silverado EV — which will arrive as a 2024 model at Champion Chevrolet Buick GMC — is expected to produce over 660 horsepower and 780 lb-ft of torque. This is stronger than any gasoline or diesel engine currently available on the Silverado.
Further distance
Gas-powered trucks burn through fuel very quickly and don’t travel very far before needing to be refilled. Electric vehicles can travel quite far on a single charge. For example, when fully charged, the Silverado EV is expected to have a driving range of up to 400 miles.[1]
Off-road capabilities
Electric tucks can still conquer fields and dirt roads. The HUMMER EV offers some impressive off-road abilities including the available Extract Mode that lifts the suspension up about 6 inches and the Crabwalk, which drives the vehicle diagonally.
Top-tier performance
GMC is proving that electric powertrains are the strongest on the market. The all-new GMC HUMMER EV will have a 0-60 acceleration speed around 3 seconds, which is unheard of for a pickup truck. That’s because this Hummer can achieve up to 1,000 horsepower and up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque.
If you want to experience new levels of power and performance, buy an electric truck. GMC and Chevrolet prove that EVs don’t just make for a greener future — they promise a stronger one, too. Find the Silverado EV and Hummer EV truck for sale soon at Champion Chevrolet Buick GMC.
