GM Envolve Silverado EV WT Boosts Fleet Range
High Electric Range and Serious Towing Power
Commercial fleet managers who love frequent fuel stops will certainly hate the new electric work truck from GM Envolve. For example, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV 8WT delivers an impressive EPA-estimated 493 miles of electric driving range on a single charge.
Additionally, this work truck provides up to 10,500 pounds of maximum towing capability for heavy equipment trailers. As a result, crew drivers can travel between distant job sites without constantly hunting for public charging stations.
Furthermore, the sturdy chassis supports up to 1,400 pounds of payload capacity in the rear truck bed. Consequently, utility teams can haul heavy equipment and materials across long regional routes without sacrificing vehicle efficiency.
Onsite Mobile Power for Remote Jobsite Tools
Running portable gas generators on remote job sites usually creates unnecessary noise, fumes, and constant maintenance hassles. Fortunately, the Silverado EV WT functions as a mobile power station by offering up to eight available electrical outlets.
For instance, drivers can utilize four 120-volt outlets and one 240-volt outlet directly inside the truck bed. Meanwhile, an additional 110-volt outlet sits inside the front eTrunk under the hood for sensitive electronics.
Additionally, fleet managers can upgrade the standard offboard power system with the optional Power Bar accessory from GM Fleet Technology. Therefore, crews can draw up to 10.2 kilowatts of exportable power to run heavy power tools anywhere.
Integrated Telematics and Smart Safety Systems
Managing driver safety and keeping track of expensive fleet assets does not have to feel like pure guesswork. For example, GM Fleet Commercial Solutions includes standard OnStar Fleet Basics software across all Silverado EV WT models.
Consequently, dispatchers receive automated updates regarding battery charge status, estimated remaining range, and emergency alerts. Additionally, the standard Drive Block feature allows managers to disable the truck remotely to prevent vehicle theft.
Meanwhile, the standard HD Surround Vision camera system provides clear overhead views when maneuvering in tight spots. Thus, fleet operators can easily prevent costly jobsite collisions while protecting their valuable commercial equipment investments.
