The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range Work Truck has made history. With an EPA-estimated range of up to 493 miles, this all-electric powerhouse just shattered the world record for distance traveled on a single charge, going an incredible 1,059.2 miles during a recent GM engineering range test. The previous record of 749 miles, set by Lucid earlier this summer, now stands in the rearview mirror. more The challenge began as a casual conversation among GM engineers in late 2024: how far could the Silverado EV go if every element was optimized for efficiency? Estimates ranged from 800 to 1,000 miles, and soon the team was putting their theories to the test. Using a production Silverado EV Max Range WT, the engineers drove on public roads near GM’s Milford Proving Ground, taking one-hour shifts to fit the experiment into their regular work schedules. The truck’s hardware and software remained stock, but the team made small, owner’s-manual-approved adjustments to maximize range—optimizing tire pressure and wheel alignment, reducing weight, using a tonneau cover for smoother airflow, and maintaining steady speeds between 20–25 mph. The test was conducted under real-world conditions, wrapping up on Detroit’s Belle Isle. No passengers, no climate control, and no gimmicks—just careful driving, thoughtful adjustments, and optimal summer temperatures for battery performance. “The achievement is a great example of how far our EV technology has come,” said Kurt Kelty, GM Vice President of Battery, Propulsion, and Sustainability. “It takes deep integration across battery chemistry, drive unit efficiency, software, and vehicle engineering.” GM research shows that range is the number one purchase driver for Silverado EV customers. This record-breaking run not only demonstrates what’s possible with today’s EV technology, but also provides valuable data that will help GM continue to push boundaries in electric vehicle innovation. The engineers even celebrated the accomplishment by using the same record-setting truck to power a 3D printer—and print a trophy to commemorate the drive. The 2026 Silverado EV Max Range WT now stands as the range leader among electric trucks, proving that with the right engineering and determination, the limits are meant to be redefined.

If you’ve been considering making the switch to an electric vehicle, now is the time to act. Recent changes in federal legislation mean that all federal tax credits for Electric Vehicles (EVs), including New EV, Used EV, and Commercial/Leased EV Clean Vehicle credits,  will officially sunset on September 30, 2025. At Maritime Chevy, our current lease customers are still eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit, which is applied as a discount at the time of lease regardless of personal income or vehicle price. This incentive can lower your monthly payment by approximately $209 on a typical 36-month lease — a significant savings that will no longer be available after September 30. more For those purchasing rather than leasing, qualified buyers may also enjoy a $7,500 credit at the time of sale, subject to income and vehicle eligibility requirements. (Please see dealer for details; not all customers will qualify.) We anticipate high demand leading up to the deadline, and inventory, especially in specific colors and trim levels, may become limited as we approach the expiration date. Why Act Now? $7,500 Lease Credit: available now, regardless of income or vehicle price $7,500 Purchase Credit: available to qualifying buyers Wide selection available today: before inventory tightens Drive electric: lower operational costs, zero tailpipe emissions, and an elevated ownership experience While Maritime Chevrolet will proudly continue to offer exceptional EVs like the Equinox EV and Blazer EV well beyond October 1, these federal tax benefits will not return under current law. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to drive electric, this is it. Contact us today to learn more, schedule a test drive, or secure your EV before incentives expire.

If you’ve been considering making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV), there’s never been a better time to take the leap. Whether you’re eyeing a brand-new model or a reliable pre-owned option, EVs deliver remarkable value, lower ownership costs, and an exceptional driving experience. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why choosing an EV today makes so much sense: Significant Cost Savings One of the most compelling reasons to buy an EV, especially a pre-owned one, is the incredible cost savings. Today’s used EV market offers unbeatable value, with average prices hovering around $33,645. That’s nearly half the price many models commanded during their peak in 2022. And the savings don’t stop there. If you’re purchasing a used EV priced under $25,000, you could be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $4,000, making your investment even more affordable. Combined with lower fuel costs compared to gasoline vehicles, EVs offer long-term financial benefits that are hard to ignore. Low Maintenance & Long Battery Life Electric vehicles are engineered for simplicity and durability. Because they have fewer moving parts than traditional gas-powered cars, EVs experience less wear and tear. That means fewer trips to the shop for oil changes, exhaust repairs, or transmission issues because EVs don’t need them! Even better, most EV batteries are built to last 10 years or more, and they typically come with robust warranties that cover the battery for 8–10 years. This gives EV owners added confidence and helps keep maintenance costs low over the life of the vehicle. Enhanced Driving Experience From the moment you press the accelerator, you’ll feel the difference an EV offers. Thanks to instant torque, electric vehicles deliver quick, smooth acceleration without the noise or vibration of a combustion engine. The result? A driving experience that’s both quiet and thrilling. Whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising down the highway, EVs provide responsive handling and a level of comfort that enhances every journey. Certified Pre-Owned Peace of Mind If you’re leaning toward a used EV, a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model can be a smart choice. CPO electric vehicles come with added assurance, including extended warranties, roadside assistance, and comprehensive inspections performed by factory-trained technicians. This means you can drive off with confidence, knowing that your pre-owned EV meets high-quality standards and has been thoroughly vetted for reliability. A Greener Choice for the Future Beyond the personal benefits, choosing an electric vehicle helps support a cleaner, more sustainable future. By driving an EV, you’re reducing your carbon footprint, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and contributing to improved air quality in your community. Ready to make the switch? Whether you’re interested in a new EV or want to explore our certified pre-owned selection, our team is here to help you find the right vehicle for your needs and budget.

Chevrolet’s vision for a cleaner, smarter future takes a big leap forward with the 2025 BrightDrop, a battery-electric cargo van engineered specifically for last-mile delivery needs. First revealed by General Motors at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show, BrightDrop has steadily generated buzz. Now, with public sales open, these innovative electric vans are ready to hit the road in greater numbers. The BrightDrop 400 gets its name from its impressive cargo capacity — 400 cubic feet of space and a maximum payload of 3,710 lbs., all on a 153-inch wheelbase. Need more room? The BrightDrop 600 variant stretches the wheelbase to 183 inches, offering 600 cubic feet of cargo volume with a slightly lower payload capacity. Chevrolet offers two battery options to suit your delivery routes: Max Range Battery with up to 272 miles combined city/highway range with all-wheel drive, and Standard Battery with an estimated 193 miles in the city and 151 miles on the highway. These range options help tailor the BrightDrop to various fleet needs, from dense urban deliveries to longer suburban routes. The BrightDrop was designed with commercial efficiency and safety in mind. Delivery Mode streamlines the process. With the press of a button, the van’s cabin lights activate, the bulkhead door unlocks, and (if equipped) power doors on the curbside and bulkhead automatically open when parked — then close and lock when you shift into drive. You can deliver with peace of mind with over 20 standard safety features including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian/cyclist braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and a 360-degree camera system for enhanced awareness. Operators can open/close doors via steering wheel buttons or key fob, minimizing manual effort and improving workflow. Inside, the BrightDrop offers an 11.3-inch infotainment system with built-in Google apps for easy navigation and connectivity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available, though users may find that using BrightDrop’s native Google Maps app provides a clearer directional view than CarPlay’s version. The BrightDrop drives like a true EV — quiet, responsive, and with smooth acceleration. You can also enjoy excellent visibility thanks to a massive windshield, large side mirrors, and camera-assisted blind spot monitoring. Low step-in height and one-pedal driving add to driver ease during frequent stops. With its zero tailpipe emissions, customizable cargo space, and advanced safety and delivery tech, the 2025 Chevrolet BrightDrop is positioned to transform last-mile delivery. Its sleek, modern exterior doubles as a perfect canvas for business branding, while its durable, practical interior helps drivers stay focused on the job. Is your business ready to go electric?
