Basic Motors now has about 140,000 reservations for the upcoming electric variation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup, CEO Mary Barra claimed through GM’s initial-quarter earnings presentation on Tuesday.

GM has promised that the Silverado EV will have at the very least 400 miles of selection, new fast-charging capabilities, and a 4-wheel steering program when it goes into creation early next 12 months.

GM is positioning the Silverado EV as a direct rival to Ford Motor’s electric F-150 Lightning. Ford experienced about 200,000 reservations for the F-150 Lightning when it stopped using new orders for the truck in December. Output of the Lightning began before Tuesday.   

GM’s shares ended up up about .7% in immediately after-several hours buying and selling. The organization described a drop in initial quarter net earnings and income margin Tuesday afternoon.
