2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV: Kirkland Pricing & Leasing Guide

MSRP by trim and battery

Chevrolet's model page lists the three starting prices, and published price guides fill in the other battery packs. Every Silverado EV has all-wheel drive, so the price differences come from the trim and the pack. The Custom comes only with the Standard Range battery. The LT can be ordered with Standard, Extended or Max Range, and the Trail Boss with Extended or Max Range. Chevrolet's own starting price for the LT assumes the Extended Range battery, so a Standard Range LT is listed lower in the guides and a Max Range LT considerably higher.

• Silverado EV Custom: $55,895 MSRP, $58,490 with destination. Standard Range, about 285 miles GM-estimated.
• Silverado EV LT, Standard Range: about $60,900 MSRP in published guides, $63,495 with destination.
• Silverado EV LT, Extended Range: $69,100 MSRP, $71,695 with destination. About 410 miles GM-estimated.
• Silverado EV Trail Boss, Extended Range: $70,000 MSRP, $72,595 with destination. About 410 miles GM-estimated.
• Silverado EV Trail Boss, Max Range: about $86,600 MSRP in published guides, $89,195 with destination. Up to 478 miles GM-estimated.

Figures exclude options, tax, title, registration and fees. The window sticker on the specific truck is the final word.

What the starting price includes

Every Silverado EV, down to the Custom, comes with dual-motor all-wheel drive, a 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, an 11-inch digital driver display, Chevy Safety Assist and a dual-level charge cord. That last piece matters for your budget because it lets you begin charging at home from a standard outlet on the day you pick up the truck. A faster wall charger is a separate purchase, and a licensed electrician has to install it. Chevrolet also lists the GM Energy PowerShift charger and a vehicle-to-home kit for owners who want backup power, and those carry their own costs.

The Kirkland math in plain numbers

Washington does not tax income at the state level, and vehicle purchases carry a large combined sales tax instead. The Department of Revenue's car-dealer rate table for the fourth quarter of 2026 lists Kirkland at 10.3 percent, which is a 6.5 percent state portion and a 3.8 percent local portion. Dealers must also collect an additional 0.5 percent motor vehicle sales tax on every retail sale or lease, a rate that rose from 0.3 percent at the start of 2026. Put them together and the total is roughly 10.8 percent of the selling price.

For a sense of scale, 10.8 percent of the $58,490 Custom figure is about $6,320, 10.8 percent of the $71,695 LT figure is about $7,740, and 10.8 percent of the $72,595 Trail Boss figure is about $7,840. These are illustrations, because the real number depends on the final selling price, any options and your registration address. Title and registration fees are separate, as is the dealership's documentary fee, which its published offer terms list at up to $200. Washington also adds an annual fee for electric vehicles when registration renews, so ask for the current amount at purchase. A separate state luxury-vehicle tax applies to the portion of a selling price above a threshold of roughly $100,000, so mention it to the finance team if you are configuring a loaded Max Range truck. Rates change each quarter, so confirm them with the dealership before you sign.

Incentives: what has ended and what to ask about

Two incentives that shaped EV buying for the past few years are gone. The federal purchase credit, including the commercial pathway that some lessors used, ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Washington's sales-tax exemption for clean alternative fuel vehicles expired on July 31, 2025. The state's EV instant rebate program was funded for a window that ran from August 1, 2024 into May 2025, according to the dealership's own program page, so do not assume it applies to a new Silverado EV. Utility and local charger-installation incentives change often, so it is worth asking your electric utility what is available for a home charger.

That leaves manufacturer and dealership offers. They change often and carry eligibility terms, so ask the finance team at Lee Johnson Chevrolet what is current the day you shop. The new Chevrolet specials page is the place to look for updates, and you can pre-qualify online before you visit.

Leasing or buying a Silverado EV

A lease can make sense for a truck in a fast-moving category, since the battery and charging technology are still changing and some drivers like the idea of handing the truck back after a few years. Washington applies the same vehicle sales tax to the first 36 months of lease payments, so a lease does not remove the tax, but it spreads it across the payments. Buying fits better if you tow regularly, plan to keep the truck for a decade, or want to take advantage of the 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty over a long ownership stretch. Lee Johnson Chevrolet lists leasing among its services and has Sales and Leasing consultants on staff, and the lease-end and trade-in page explains the options if you are coming out of another vehicle. If you are weighing the truck against a gas Silverado, Chevrolet's Silverado EV page includes an electric-versus-gas cost calculator that takes your ZIP code.

What Lee Johnson Chevrolet customers say about the buying process

Lee Johnson Chevrolet averages about 4.6 stars across more than 2,200 Google reviews. Cory M. bought his third Silverado there and wrote that the team "found exactly the vehicle that we were looking for in less than an hour," adding, "We were in and out of there in about 90 minutes and back on the road to Cashmere." Rena L., who bought a used electric car in September, said she was "a very demanding customer" and "left satisfied with my car and what I paid for it." Both describe a purchase that was explained rather than rushed, which is what a buyer comparing trims, packs, taxes and offers hopes to find.
