2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV 3WT in Harrisburg, PA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Harrisburg's weather, grid and prices.
Harrisburg's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (33°F) a Silverado EV 3WT gets an estimated 356 miles, 10% under its 393-mile rating, and about 353 in the coldest week (around January 19, when it averages 32°F). By March it's back to about 411. Charging at home at Pennsylvania's average rate (21.7¢/kWh) costs about $128 a month for 38 miles a day, against $293 for a gas Silverado on the Central Atlantic's gas. And Harrisburg's grid (RFC East), 22% cleaner than the US average, makes it 74% less CO₂ than gas.
Partly estimated. 3 of 5 temperature bands are from 169 real drives of this model; the rest come from 1,548 real drives in EVs at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), applied to its 393-mile rating. Each band switches to its own drives once it has 20 from 3 drivers.

Questions Harrisburg drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a Harrisburg winter?
About 356 miles on a typical January day (33°F) and about 353 in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, 32°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 10% below its 393-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 3WT in Harrisburg?
About $128 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Pennsylvania's average home electricity rate of 21.7¢/kWh: about 11.1¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Central Atlantic's average gas ($4.31 a gallon) costs about $293 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 3WT on a regular 120 V outlet in Harrisburg?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (28 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Harrisburg's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Harrisburg's grid (RFC East) is 22% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV 3WT charged on it makes 74% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
