Our scoring places the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV at 7.2/10 overall, which translates to a Good rating for this ev. Its strongest dimension is Reliability at 9.0/10, while Safety at 6.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional ev — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. At 9.0/10, reliability is one of this ev's best cards — few vehicles in our database score higher on this dimension. Safety is a notable gap at 6.6/10 in our scoring — below what the best in segment deliver. Check the official NHTSA ratings for the trim you're considering before deciding.
Performance is a genuine highlight at 8.0/10. The Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers engaging driving dynamics — responsive handling, meaningful power delivery, and a drivetrain that rewards spirited driving without sacrificing daily usability. The cabin tech earns 8.8/10 — infotainment, smartphone integration, and driver-assistance are all close to the best this class offers.
Priced from $61,500–$79,995, 100 MPG, seating 5, the Chevrolet Silverado EV sits in the premium tier of the ev category. Value is where it presses its advantage — 8.2/10, meaning the feature set and quality outrun the asking price. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a passable ev but not a standout one. Weaknesses in safety hold it back from being a strong recommendation. It may suit buyers with specific needs it serves well, but we'd encourage comparing at least two or three higher-scored alternatives before deciding.
