The Chevrolet Silverado EV was revealed back in January, and it's clear that there's a healthy appetite for the Ford F-150 Lightning competitor. The First Edition models, based on the RST trim, sold out within 12 minutes.

Since then, we've been learning more about the upcoming truck, including that it will be neither a unibody nor a body-on-frame design. It uses GM's Ultium electric motor and battery technology, which provides around 1,000 horsepower in the new Hummer EV. GM turned it down to a slightly saner 664 hp and 780 lb-ft of torque in the Silverado RST. This week, GM released a new 90-second video providing a clearer view of the innards and how the car is constructed.

It also shows all the aerodynamic work that went into the exterior design to ensure that the pickup is as slippery as possible. Trucks aren't known for cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter, but Chevy managed to make it work by blocking off the grille and redirecting the air underneath the side mirrors and down the flanks.

The video also demonstrates the usefulness of the four-wheel steering system, which decreases the turning radius to just 42 feet. Chevrolet also reminds us of some of the figures we've seen before. The Silverado EV can tow up to 10,000 pounds and carry 1,300 lbs of payload, figures that apply to the RST.

And don't forget about the fact that you can load things up to nine-feet long thanks to the Multi-Flex Midgate. This storage space increases to ten feet when combined with the Multi-Flex Tailgate. There will be many available options for the bed, which has ten available outlets that can provide up to 10.2 kW of power. And don't forget about the eTrunk, which is just like a frunk except in name.

This video doesn't provide much information, but it is an exciting look at the electric Silverado. We think Chevy's timing is perfect, reminding everyone that this truck is on the way just days after the F-150 Lightning officially went on sale. We already did a piece on how these two stack up against each other on paper, but we can't wait to see how it plays out in the real world.
