The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV has arrived at Chesrown Chevrolet GMC, and it is ready to change how Sidney drivers think about electric trucks. This is not just a pickup with a battery; it is a ground-up revolution built on the Ultium Platform, designed to deliver the towing, hauling, and off-road performance that Ohio truck owners demand. Whether you are navigating the morning commute down I-75, hauling equipment to a job site in Piqua, or planning a weekend getaway to the Great Miami River, the Silverado EV provides the range and grit to get the job done without a drop of gasoline.
At Chesrown Chevrolet of Sidney, we understand that a truck is a tool. It needs to be reliable, capable, and ready for the unpredictable Ohio weather. The 2026 Silverado EV meets these challenges head-on with standard all-wheel drive, a massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen, and a staggering available range that puts “range anxiety” in the rearview mirror.
“We recently had the opportunity to take a 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss out for a real-world test around Sidney. We started at our dealership on West Michigan Street and headed toward Tawawa Park with a 24-foot trailer in tow. What immediately stands out is the instant torque. Unlike a traditional gas engine that needs to ‘rev up,’ the electric motors provide 100% of their power the moment you touch the pedal.
Merging onto I-75 near the 25A interchange was effortless, even with the trailer. The four-wheel steering, which is a standout feature on the Trail Boss and higher trims, made navigating the tighter turns near the river feel like driving a much smaller vehicle. We also spent time testing the regenerative braking while heading down toward the downtown area, watching the range actually increase as the truck captured energy. It’s a level of control and efficiency that Sidney drivers have never experienced in a full-size pickup.”

One of the most frequent questions we hear at Chesrown Chevrolet GMC is, “Can an electric truck really tow?” The answer for the 2026 Silverado EV is a resounding yes. When properly equipped, this truck offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,500 pounds, which is more than enough for most horse trailers, boats, and campers. |
|---|---|
The truck also features an available Multi-Flex Midgate, which allows you to fold down the back of the cab to extend the bed length. This means you can carry items up to 10 feet 10 inches long while still keeping the tailgate closed.

Inside the 2026 Silverado EV, the focus is on a high-tech, spacious environment. The standard 17.7-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display is the command center, featuring Google Built-In. This integration provides native access to Google Maps, which can automatically suggest charging stops along your route based on your current battery level. Safety is also a priority with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, which includes:
|
|---|---|
| Higher trims like the LT and Trail Boss offer Super Cruise, a hands-free driver assistance technology that is compatible with over 400,000 miles of roads across the U.S. and Canada, including major stretches of I-75 and I-70. | |
 |
Charging a 2026 Silverado EV is simpler than you might think. For Sidney residents, home charging is the most convenient option, allowing you to “fill up” overnight using a Level 2 charging station. When you are on the road, the Silverado EV supports DC Fast Charging at speeds up to 350 kW, which can add approximately 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
Local charging options are growing, with stations available at the Shelby County Board of Elections and right here at Chesrown Chevrolet of Sidney. Our team can help you navigate the installation of a home charger so your truck is always ready for the day ahead.[ |
