Right hand drive 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss – Australia’s Wildest Electric Ute Now Available from Autogroup International

Australia’s obsession with big American pickups   – or “Utes,” as we call them   – isn’t slowing down any time soon. We’ve spent years admiring the sheer size, road presence, and muscle of trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-Series, and RAM 1500. The Chevrolet Silverado already enjoys a strong Australian following as a petrol powerhouse. Now, Autogroup International is shaking things up with an all-new, fully electric version: the right hand drive 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss pickup truck.

This is no simple engine swap. Built on GM’s Ultrium EV architecture, the right hand drive 2026 Silverado EV is a from-the-ground-up electric truck   – designed to deliver next-level power, impressive range, and real-world capability. For Aussie drivers wanting American muscle packed with the latest tech, all in genuine right-hand drive, the future has just arrived.

Headline Performance – Power, Range, and Capability

Chevrolet wanted to make a statement with the Silverado EV Trail Boss, and the numbers don’t disappoint:

• Power and torque: Up to 540 kW and a massive 1,050 Nm of torque in “Wide Open Watts” mode   – delivering instant, electrifying acceleration.
• Range: Pick from Extended Range (around 660 km) or Max Range (roughly 770 km), tested under ideal driving conditions.
• Towing & payload: Rated to tow up to 4,500 kg and carry close to 1,000 kg, making it perfect for Aussie work or play   – towing caravans, boats, or hauling heavy gear.
• Charging: Ultra-fast 350 kW DC capability means you can add around 160 km of driving range in just 10 minutes, quicker than most coffee runs.

With these specs, the Silverado EV Trail Boss easily ranks among the world’s most capable electric vehicles, setting a new standard for EV utes in Australia.

Purpose-Built for Off-Road Australian Adventures

The right hand drive Trail Boss package is engineered for those who don’t stick to the highway or local suburbs. This makes it an exciting American EV pickup truck for Australia. Key features include:

• A factory two-inch lift for extra clearance
• 35-inch all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels
• Terrain Mode for controlled low-speed crawling
• “Sidewinder” diagonal drive for tricky, tight spots
• Four-wheel steering for impressive agility off-road and stability on the highway

Unlike many electric vehicles tuned for city life, this EV ute is ready for tough conditions – whether it’s soft sand on Fraser Island, muddy trails in the High Country, or outback tracks across the Nullarbor.

The Ultium Advantage

This isn’t just a petrol Silverado converted to electric   – the Silverado EV is built on GM’s dedicated Ultium electric chassis:

• Battery integration: The pack is part of the chassis, adding rigidity, improving balance, and protecting against impacts. It keeps the center of gravity low for off-road stability.
• Flexible power: Dual motors and a modular system mean all-wheel drive is standard, with instant torque on demand. Ultium allows Chevrolet to scale performance and range to customer needs.
• Smart energy recovery: Capturing waste heat and humidity from the cabin to boost efficiency   – a big advantage on long, hot Australian journeys.
• The Ultium chassis: This is the same platform used for the Cadillac LYRIQ and Escalade IQ, Equinox EV and even the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV

The result is a right hand drive EV ute engineered for real-world reliability, longevity, and performance, not just headline stats.

A Rolling Power Station

One standout feature is onboard and offboard power delivery – up to 10 kW. That’s enough to:

• Run construction tools or site gear
• Power campsite appliances
• Charge e-bikes, dirt bikes, or even another EV
• Offer home backup during outages

You’ll find multiple outlets throughout the cargo tray, cabin, and front eTrunk, plus both 120V and 240V options. Energy management tools in the touchscreen help keep reserves for driving  – making the vehicle a new go-to for tradies, campers, and families needing flexibility.

Cabin Comforts and Tech

Inside, the right hand drive Silverado EV Trail Boss pickup truck it balances toughness with top-notch comfort and technology:

• A giant 17.7-inch central touchscreen
• Configurable 11-inch driver display
• Head-up display for key info
• Google built-in, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Plenty of storage and organisation throughout

Premium options include luxury finishes like leather, heated/ventilated seats, and a panoramic glass roof – bringing SUV-level refinement to the EV ute segment.

Range and Charging – Ready for Aussie Roads

While Chevrolet lists a maximum range of up to 770 km, actual figures depend on load, driving style, and terrain. Towing or tackling tough conditions will see range drop, but even then, the Silverado is more than up to most drivers’ daily or touring needs.

DC fast charging at 350 kW slashes pit stops, and Australia’s public charging network is growing each month. At home, a wall box charger means you leave each morning with a full “tank” – ditching weekly trips to the servo for the simple efficiency of plugging in.

Lower Running Costs

Fuel prices are anyone’s guess lately, and thirsty utes often burn 15–20L/100km. Swapping to the Silverado EV Trail Boss can cut this to the electric equivalent of just 3–4L/100km with off-peak charging at home.

Over five years, those savings really add up, on top of reduced servicing   – EVs simply have fewer moving parts. Whether for fleets or private owners, the financial case for a new-gen EV ute gets better every year.
