It matches the maximum horsepower for the recently revealed GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1.
Listen to this articleWhen Chevrolet debuted the 2024 Silverado EV, it was listed with an estimated maximum output of 664 horsepower and more than 780 pound-feet of torque. Now, Chevrolet tells us those figures are revised upwards to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft – a significant gain for the all-electric truck.
If those numbers sound familiar, it’s because you just heard them associated with another electric pickup truck under the General Motors umbrella. The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 debuted on October 20 with the same output available in Max Power mode. It seems Chevrolet doesn’t want its performance-oriented RST outgunned by the electric Sierra.

A Chevy spokesperson confirmed the increase in an email to Motor1.com:
As we prepare for production of the Silverado EV, our engineering team has further refined the estimated performance specs for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition. GM now estimates horsepower to be up to 754 and torque up to an estimated 785 lb-ft when Wide Open Watts mode is engaged.
It’s important to note that the revised figure is still an estimate, which means it may yet change again before the RST reaches dealerships.
This is a breaking story. More information will be added as it becomes available.
