In their recent “Top EV Picks of 2026” article, the Chevrolet Silverado EV and Chevrolet Equinox EV were highlighted for their groundbreaking capabilities and exceptional value.

2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV: The Top Pick for EV Pickup Trucks

The all-electric Silverado EV is redefining what a pickup truck can be, and Cars.com has taken notice. The Silverado EV was named the “Top Pick: EV Pickup Truck,” an honor that speaks to its incredible performance and utility.

Key highlights that impressed the critics include:

  • Exceptional Range: The Silverado EV’s most impressive feature is its range, with certain versions offering a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 493 miles.
  • Uncompromised Capability: Despite its electric powertrain, the Silverado EV doesn’t sacrifice on what you expect from a truck. It boasts a maximum towing capacity of 12,500 pounds and a max payload of 2,350 pounds.
  • Maneuverability: For a vehicle of its size, the Silverado EV is surprisingly agile, thanks to the available Four-Wheel Steer feature.

With the addition of a new Trail Boss trim for 2026, equipped with a lifted suspension and 35-inch all-terrain tires, the Silverado EV is ready for any challenge, on or off the road.

2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV: The Top Pick for Value

For drivers seeking an affordable and efficient electric SUV, the Chevrolet Equinox EV is the perfect choice. Cars.com named it the “Top Pick: Value EV,” a testament to its blend of cutting-edge technology and accessible pricing.

Highlights that earned the Equinox EV this title include:

  • Unbeatable Affordability: With a starting price just under $35,000, the Equinox EV brings the benefits of an electric vehicle to a wider audience, especially when considering potential tax credits and incentives.
  • Over 300 Miles of Range: The Equinox EV offers a remarkable driving range, with all versions exceeding 300 miles. The base front-wheel-drive model has an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles.
  • Standard Features: This compact SUV comes loaded with premium standard features, including a stunning 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google Built-In and an 11-inch digital instrument panel.

The Equinox EV proves that you don’t have to compromise on features or performance to get an affordable electric vehicle.
