2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV: Roslyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV at a Glance
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV comes in three trims — Custom from $55,895, LT from $60,900, and the off-road-tuned Trail Boss from $70,000, all before the $2,595 destination charge. Every trim ships with dual-motor all-wheel drive standard and GM-estimated range that spans roughly 283 miles on the entry Standard Range battery up to 478 miles on the top Max Range pack. The single change most shoppers ask about at the door: this generation charges through a CCS port, not a native NACS plug, so Tesla Supercharger access needs GM's separate NACS adapter. East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn, at 1036 Northern Blvd, carries the lineup.
What's actually new for 2026
The biggest structural change this year isn't a spec — it's a name. What used to be the Work Truck (WT) retail build is now called Custom, and it comes standard with what Chevrolet calls the Custom Package: 22-inch machined-face wheels, black bowtie emblems, and a handful of blacked-out trim pieces the old WT didn't get by default. Under the badge, though, it's the same foundation as the fleet WT truck, not a separate body or cab configuration, so shoppers cross-referencing an older WT spec sheet against this year's Custom trim are looking at the same underlying build with nicer wheels and trim.
Trail Boss is the real addition: a new off-road trim with lifted, off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, a dedicated Terrain drive mode, and unique exterior styling with added skid protection underneath. It only comes with the Extended or Max Range battery — there's no Standard Range Trail Boss, which tracks with what an off-road truck is actually for.
The other change worth knowing before a test drive: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are gone, fleet-wide, across every 2026 Silverado EV trim — including Custom, which offered CarPlay as recently as the 2025 model year. Chevrolet's replacing it with Google built-in, the same infotainment approach running across its other EVs. It's a genuine step backward for anyone who leans on wired CarPlay daily, and it's the single most common question this dealership's sales team fields on this truck.
One nameplate, three different jobs
Custom is the value entry and the only trim limited to the Standard Range battery — GM's estimated range there lands around 283 miles, and output is rated 490 hp and 580 lb-ft, the lowest figures in the lineup. Step up to LT and the whole picture changes: Multi-Flex Midgate and Multi-Flex Tailgate become standard, 18-inch wheels replace Custom's 22s, and buyers get a genuine choice of Standard, Extended, or Max Range battery packs, with output climbing to 645 hp and 765 lb-ft on the higher-output configuration. Trail Boss trades some of that range for capability — off-road suspension, all-terrain rubber, and a Max Range pack that tops the lineup at up to 725 hp and 775 lb-ft, alongside GM's estimated 478 miles of range on that configuration.
Every trim shares dual-motor all-wheel drive as standard equipment, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, an 11-inch digital driver display, and Super Cruise-capable hands-free driving hardware (the feature itself needs a subscription after an initial trial period). None of them get a native NACS charge port this year — the truck ships with CCS, and reaching a Tesla Supercharger station means adding GM's separate NACS adapter, sold as an accessory. That's a real difference from some other current Chevrolet EVs, so it's worth confirming before assuming Supercharger access comes built in.

What East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn's buyers say
"Mike G. Super smart on the EV models, Personable and competent!" (Karl R.) is a short review, but it lines up with a longer one from a buyer who came in specifically for the Trail Boss: "Michael was pleasant and knowledgeable with the Silverado lineup. With the help of Michael and Vinny we were able to agree to move forward with the purchase of a 2025 Silverado Trail Boss... When it came to sitting with Joe in finance, he was very informative about my payments and term. Overall the team at East Hills Chevrolet was excellent" (Joseph C.). East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn carries a 4.76-star average across 962 Google reviews — the manufacturer specifications and EPA-pending range figures on this page come from Chevrolet and independent trade coverage, but the buying experience is what reviewers keep writing about.
Owning one in Roslyn
Northern Boulevard's stop-and-go and the stretch of Long Island Expressway most Roslyn commutes lean on don't punish a heavier electric truck the way a long highway haul would, and regenerative braking gets real use in that kind of traffic. Range is the number that actually shapes day-to-day ownership here: even the Standard Range Custom's roughly 283 GM-estimated miles covers a round trip into Manhattan and most of a week's errands on a single charge, with the usual caveat that a cold Long Island winter cuts into any EV's range, this truck included. Home charging on a Level 2 unit covers typical daily use overnight; the CCS port plus GM's NACS adapter opens up the wider Tesla Supercharger network for longer trips, though it's an extra part to keep track of rather than a plug-and-go connection.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price of the 2026 Chevy Silverado EV?
Custom starts at $55,895, LT at $60,900, and Trail Boss at $70,000 — all before the $2,595 destination charge and before New York sales tax. LT's price climbs with battery choice: the Extended Range pack runs roughly $69,100 and the Max Range pack roughly $90,200, both still excluding destination.
Can the Silverado EV charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Yes, but not without help. The 2026 Silverado EV ships with a CCS charging port, not a native NACS plug, so reaching a Tesla Supercharger station requires GM's separate NACS DC adapter, sold as an accessory. That's different from some of Chevrolet's other current EVs, which have moved to native NACS.
How far can a Silverado EV go on a charge?
Chevrolet hasn't published EPA-certified range for the 2026 model yet, so every figure here is a GM-estimated number: roughly 283 miles on the Standard Range battery (Custom only), 410 to 424 miles on the Extended Range pack, and up to 478 miles on the Max Range pack, both available on LT and Trail Boss.
Does the Silverado EV have Apple CarPlay?
No, not on any 2026 trim. Chevrolet removed Apple CarPlay and Android Auto fleet-wide for this model year, including on Custom, which had CarPlay as recently as 2025. The truck runs Google built-in instead, with phone calls and audio handled over Bluetooth where CarPlay isn't available.
Is the Silverado EV a good truck for Roslyn drivers?
For a Nassau County driver who can charge at home and wants genuine towing and payload capability in an electric truck, yes — standard all-wheel drive and a range of battery choices cover most daily driving with room to spare. The trim guides below go deeper on which configuration fits which kind of buyer.
