Questions New Haven drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a New Haven winter?
About 342 miles on a typical January day (31°F) and about 337 in the coldest week of the year (around January 20, 30°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 13–14% below its 393-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. New Haven averages 43 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 3WT in New Haven?
About $144 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Connecticut's average home electricity rate of 24.2¢/kWh: about 12.4¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on New England's average gas ($4.25 a gallon) costs about $289 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 3WT on a regular 120 V outlet in New Haven?
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 New Haven's grid?
Yes, more than most places. New Haven's grid (NPCC New England) is 30% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV 3WT charged on it makes 76% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
