2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV 3WT in Cleveland, OH
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Cleveland's weather, grid and prices.

Questions Cleveland drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a Cleveland winter?
About 334 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about 330 in the coldest week of the year (around January 20, 29°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 15–16% below its 393-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Cleveland averages 56 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 3WT in Cleveland?
About $117 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Ohio's average home electricity rate of 19.4¢/kWh: about 10.1¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Cleveland's average gas ($4.09 a gallon) costs about $278 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 3WT on a regular 120 V outlet in Cleveland?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (26 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Cleveland's grid?
Yes. Cleveland's grid (RFC West) is 19% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV 3WT charged on it still makes 59% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
