DETROIT — An electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck will get an estimated 400 miles of range per charge, General Motors says.
The company announced the range in a webcast Tuesday and said the truck would be built at a factory straddling the border of Detroit and the enclave of Hamtramck. It also announced the plant would build the new 2024 GMC Hummer SUV.
The pickup announcement raises the level of competition for future buyers in the hot truck market. Ford already has announced plans to build an electric F-150 starting next year in Dearborn, Mich. while Fiat Chrysler, now Stellantis, has said it plans to have an all-electric Ram pickup.
