2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV: Monroe Pricing & Leasing Guide

Starting prices by trim

The Silverado EV price ladder has three rungs, and the gaps between them are wider than you might expect. The Custom starts at $55,895 MSRP, the LT at $69,100 and the Trail Boss at $70,000. Those figures leave out the $2,595 destination freight charge, taxes, title, registration and options, and with destination added the totals read $58,490, $71,695 and $72,595. Keep in mind that the LT and Trail Boss starting prices are for the Extended Range battery. The largest Max Range pack costs noticeably more, with published price guides putting a Max Range Trail Boss near $86,600 before destination, so the battery you choose is the biggest single lever on your bill.

It is also worth knowing that the Custom is available only with the Standard Range pack. If your daily driving is local, that is a legitimate way to get into a full-size electric truck at a lower price. Our guides to the Custom, LT and Trail Boss explain what each trim already includes so you can pay only for what you will use.

The Monroe tax picture, plainly

Washington does not tax personal income, which is why the state leans on sales tax, and why the tax line on a new vehicle can look larger than you may be used to. For a vehicle purchase sold in Monroe, the Washington Department of Revenue's fourth-quarter 2026 table for car dealers lists a combined sales tax rate of 9.3%, made up of the 6.5% state rate and a 2.8% local rate. A separate motor vehicle sales and lease tax of 0.5% also applies to the selling price, a rate that took effect on January 1, 2026. Altogether that is about 9.8% of the price. Parts and service work at the dealership's address is taxed at a different, regular retail rate of 9.4%.

As an illustration only, on a $60,000 selling price the 9.3% sales tax would be about $5,580 and the 0.5% motor vehicle tax $300, so roughly $5,880 in tax. Your real number depends on the final price and on any trade-in, and the rates are reviewed every quarter, so confirm the current figures at the dealership when you buy.

What else shows up on the paperwork

Beyond MSRP, destination and sales tax, a Washington purchase typically includes title and registration fees and a documentary service fee, which state law limits. Washington also charges an annual fee on electric vehicles at registration, and the amounts change from time to time. Rather than working from a rule of thumb, ask for an itemized estimate before you sign.

Incentives deserve their own paragraph. The federal clean vehicle tax credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, so no credit amount is assumed anywhere in this guide. Other programs from utilities and local governments come and go, and a home-charging rebate from your electric utility, which in Monroe is typically Snohomish County PUD, is the kind of thing worth asking about before you buy a wall unit. The dealership's finance office and the official program pages are the right places to confirm what applies to you.

Buying or leasing an electric truck

Leasing appeals to plenty of first-time EV shoppers because the technology keeps moving. You drive the current truck for a set term, then hand it back and see what is new. Washington generally applies sales tax to lease payments and any upfront amount instead of the whole price of the vehicle, which spreads the tax over the term. Mileage limits, lease-end charges and the money due at signing all shape the real cost, so compare them line by line. Buying tends to make sense if you plan to keep the truck for many years, drive high mileage, tow regularly or want to customize it. Neither path is automatically cheaper, and the answer depends on the specific offer and your situation.

Speedway Chevrolet can walk you through both. Lease and finance offers change often, carry credit approval and eligibility terms, and are best checked on the current Speedway Chevrolet specials page and the Chevrolet special offers page. The dealership also describes a Drive With Confidence promise on new Chevrolets that includes an unlimited time and miles lifetime warranty and a return or exchange option within three days or 300 miles; ask how those terms apply to an electric truck.

Financing, trade-ins and what Monroe customers say

You can start the financing process online before you visit, and the dealership's trade-in page covers valuing the vehicle you already own. These are excerpts from public Google reviews of Speedway Chevrolet. One customer wrote, "I had a wonderful experience leasing my new BLAZER EV RS at Speedway Chevrolet Monroe." (Jeniffer S., Google review, March 2025.) That review is about a different electric Chevrolet, and it speaks to how the team handles an EV lease. Another buyer wrote, "Joe Harvey was great to work with as well and make the paperwork side a breeze." (Rebekah G., Google review, April 2025.) Joe Harvey is listed as a Finance Manager on the dealership's staff page. Before you visit, work out your own numbers: know the total amount you want to finance, not only a monthly figure, and ask for everything in writing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV cost?

The Custom starts at $55,895 MSRP, the LT at $69,100 and the Trail Boss at $70,000, each before the $2,595 destination charge, taxes, title and registration. The LT and Trail Boss prices reflect the Extended Range battery.

How much is sales tax on a new truck in Monroe, WA?

For a vehicle sold in Monroe, the Washington Department of Revenue lists a combined sales tax rate of 9.3% (6.5% state plus 2.8% local), plus a separate 0.5% motor vehicle sales and lease tax, for about 9.8% in total. Rates are reviewed quarterly, so confirm the current figure with the dealership.

Does Washington have a state income tax?

No. Washington has no state income tax, which is one reason the state relies on sales tax, including on vehicle purchases.

Can you get the federal EV tax credit on a Silverado EV lease?

The federal clean vehicle credit, including the version that applied to leased vehicles, ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, so none is assumed here. Other incentives can change, and the finance office is the best place to confirm what applies to you.

Are EVs cheaper to lease than to buy?

It depends on the offer, the mileage you drive and how long you keep the truck. Leasing can suit drivers who want the latest technology on a set term, while buying often suits those who keep a vehicle for many years or tow often, so compare the full terms of each.

Who has the best EV lease right now?

Offers change month to month and vary by region, credit and eligibility, so the useful move is to compare current terms in writing. Speedway Chevrolet's specials pages and sales team can show you what is available on the Silverado EV today.

What happens to an EV after eight years?

Chevrolet's battery and propulsion warranty runs 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. After that, the truck keeps running like any other, though battery capacity gradually declines with age and use, and the service team can check it.

Can I lease a 2026 Silverado EV in Monroe?

Leasing is available through Speedway Chevrolet, subject to credit approval and current offers. Call 866-647-1030 or check the specials pages for the latest terms.
