Questions Augusta drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a Augusta winter?
Augusta's winters are mild: about 408 miles on a typical January day (47°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 9, 47°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 4% of its 393-mile rating.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 3WT in Augusta?
About $95 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Georgia's average home electricity rate of 16.3¢/kWh: about 8.2¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Lower Atlantic's average gas ($3.86 a gallon) costs about $263 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 3WT on a regular 120 V outlet in Augusta?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (32 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Augusta's grid?
Yes. Augusta's grid (SERC South) is 10% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV 3WT charged on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
