Right hand drive 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV in Australia

Full size American electric pickup power, Australian compliance, real world range and serious towing

Australia now has something completely new. The right hand drive 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a full size American electric pickup truck available in true mirror image right hand drive. It tows like a heavy duty work ute, covers long regional highway runs between charges, powers tools and worksites directly from the vehicle, and handles real off road and mining work. This is not a left hand drive import with a steering wheel moved across. It is a professionally engineered, fully validated right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV that meets Australian Design Rules and other country standards, with local service support and a full vehicle warranty from Autogroup International. The right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV exists because of Autogroup International. Autogroup International is the only automotive design, engineering, component manufacturing and conversion company in the world that delivers the Chevrolet Silverado EV in true mirror image right hand drive for Australia and other right hand drive countries. We design, engineer, manufacture, test and document the steering system, dashboard, pedal box, HVAC, wiring looms, safety systems, trailering technology and driver assistance systems so the finished truck is a correct right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV, not a compromised workaround.

That vehicle is the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV.

The right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck is built to work, not to make an EV headline. With the Max Range battery configuration, expected driving range is in the 770 to 780 km zone per charge and, in efficient long run testing, can approach about 790 km. It runs on GM’s Ultium electric truck platform, delivers instant torque of around 1,051 Nm in performance mode, and is engineered for heavy towing and serious payload. These are serious numbers for any pickup, electric or not.

Below is how the Chevrolet Silverado EV range breaks down, followed by detail on range, towing, charging, off road ability, manoeuvrability, load space, cabin tech, exportable power and why the Autogroup International right hand drive conversion matters for Australia and other right hand drive countries.

Which right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV is right for you

Chevrolet Silverado EV Custom, Standard Range

Built for fleets, civil and utilities work, construction and mine support. Dual motor four wheel drive, meaningful towing capacity, strong payload targets, exportable onboard power and a proper pickup bed with multiple tie down points in a tray of about 1.8 metres. Focused on predictable daily use, controlled charging patterns and durability rather than luxury trim. Even in this work oriented configuration, the cabin includes a 17.7 inch central infotainment touch screen and an 11 inch Driver Information Centre for clear visibility of range, load management and vehicle systems.

Autogroup International converts this model into a true mirror image right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV. The steering system, dashboard, pedal box, HVAC, wiring looms, safety systems and driver assist hardware are re engineered so the finished vehicle meets Australian Design Rules and other compliance standards. The end result is a right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV work truck that can be registered, insured and supported in Australia, with full vehicle warranty coverage.

Chevrolet Silverado EV LT, Max Range

The right hand drive LT with the Max Range battery prioritises distance and everyday usability. Expected range is around 770 km or more per charge in the correct configuration, with efficient long run results approaching about 790 km. The specification adds premium exterior lighting, 18 inch wheels, the available Multi Flex Midgate and Multi Flex Tailgate for load flexibility, and an available 14 inch Head Up Display. Ideal for regional contractors, caravan touring and anyone needing highway comfort, long legs between charges and proper towing performance from a right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss, Max Range

The flagship for off road access, remote area work and heavy towing. Factory hardware includes an approximate 50 mm lift, unique suspension tuning, 18 inch wheels with 35 inch tyres, red recovery hooks, dedicated Terrain mode, four wheel steer as standard and Sidewinder mode, which turns all four wheels in the same direction at very low speed so the vehicle can move diagonally. Output is up to 725 horsepower, about 541 kW, with around 1,051 Nm of torque in performance mode. The Max Range battery targets about 770 km and the package is engineered for towing up to around 4,500 kg with a payload target around 950 kg. Autogroup International delivers Trail Boss as a proper right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV, engineered for Australian Design Rule compliance and backed by full vehicle warranty support.

Range and charging

With the Max Range battery, the right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers an estimated 770 to 780 km per charge in the correct setup, and in efficient long run testing has approached roughly 790 km from a full charge. The Ultium battery pack is mounted low in the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity for stability with weight on the hitch and a planted feel on rough country roads. High power DC fast charging around 350 kW can add roughly 190 km of range in about 10 minutes on suitable infrastructure. For fleets, contractors and government operators, overnight base charging means the truck rolls out each morning with a full battery and removes diesel refuelling logistics.

Towing, payload and control

The right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV is engineered for real work. Towing capability targets up to around 4,500 kg in Australian terms and payload targets in some trims are around 950 kg. Dual motor four wheel drive sends near instant torque to all four wheels, which matters on wet boat ramps, muddy access roads and soft shoulders with a heavy van. Trailering support includes tow and haul style drive modes, hitch view, full surround camera coverage, trailer blind zone style alerts, trailer stability calibration and automatic management of following distance to preserve braking margin when towing. One Pedal Driving and Regen on Demand help hold speed on long descents and can recapture energy rather than turning it into brake heat.

Manoeuvrability, four wheel steer and Sidewinder

Full size pickups can be awkward in tight spaces. Four wheel steer tightens the turning circle at low speed and improves stability while towing at higher speeds. This makes tight turns, parallel parking and narrow access easier, which is valuable when reversing a heavy caravan into a coastal park, threading a work trailer into a crowded depot or navigating underground parking. Sidewinder then allows diagonal movement at very low speed, useful for walking a three tonne caravan back into a tight bush campsite or easing a loaded trailer around a washout on a mining access track. Trail Boss hardware is factory delivered, engineered in and fully documented, which supports compliance, insurance and warranty in Australia.

Load space and practicality

The pickup bed is about 1.8 metres long in standard form with multiple tie down points. The Multi Flex Midgate opens the rear wall of the cab so part or all of the rear seat can fold. With the Midgate open, rear glass removed and the Multi Flex Tailgate positioned correctly, items up to about 3.3 metres long can be carried on a continuous load floor from cab to tray. The Multi Flex Tailgate offers six functions including a load stop, second tier support, step rated around 170 kg, easier reach into the tray and a portable work surface.

Cabin tech and driver safety

Inside, the right hand drive Chevrolet Silverado EV features a 17.7 inch infotainment touch screen, an 11 inch Driver Information Centre and, where specified, a 14 inch Head Up Display that projects speed, navigation, towing information and driver assistance status into the windscreen. The system includes Google built in for native navigation, voice assistant and core apps. Standard active safety includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.

Offboard power

Up to 11 onboard outlets and up to 10.2 kW of offboard power are available through the power export system. This can run tools on shutdown jobs, feed pumps or lighting towers, power a campsite or serve as temporary backup for a building when paired with the correct hardware. A configurable range reserve helps ensure enough energy remains to return to base.

Colours

Available exterior colours include Summit White, Black, Slate Gray Metallic, Blue Smoke Metallic, Riptide Blue Metallic, Habanero Orange, Polar White Tricoat, Magnus Gray Matte Metallic and White Sands. High capability trims such as Trail Boss offer selected hero finishes.
