Electric Chevy pickup to get estimated 400 miles per charge

<p>DETROIT &mdash; An electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck will get an estimated 400 miles of range per charge, General Motors says. </p>
<p>The company announced the range on Tuesday and said the truck would be built at a factory straddling the border of Detroit and the enclave of Hamtramck. It also announced that the plant would build the new 2024 GMC Hummer SUV. </p>
<p>The pickup announcement raises the level of competition for future buyers in the hot truck market. Ford already has announced plans to build an electric F-150 starting next year in Dearborn, Michigan, while Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) has said it plans to have an all-electric Ram pickup.</p>
<p>GM didn’t say when the electric Silverado would arrive in dealerships. </p>
<p>Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S., followed by the Silverado and Ram pickups.</p>
<p>GM says it plans to sell 30 electric vehicles globally by the end of 2025, and it has set a goal of making all of its passenger vehicles electric by 2035. </p>
