By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNN BusinessGeneral Motors unveiled a new battery-electric pickup truck, the Chevrolet Silverado EV, during the Consumer Electronics Show. Though not as radical a design as Tesla’s prismatic Cybertruck, it’s evident at a glance that the Silverado EV isn’t like other Chevy pickups. The Silverado EV shares the same basic electric vehicle engineering that underlies other new and planned GM electric vehicles, such as the GMC Hummer EV and the Cadillac Lyriq SUV. Some versions of the Silverado EV will be able to travel up to 400 miles with fully charged batteries, according to GM. By comparison, a gasoline-powered Silverado truck with a big 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
