How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a Dallas winter?
Dallas's winters are mild: about 407 miles on a typical January day (48°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 2, 47°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures.

About $93 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Texas's average home electricity rate of 15.9¢/kWh: about 8.0¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Texas's average gas ($3.70 a gallon) costs about $252 a month for the same driving.
