2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV 3WT in Philadelphia, PA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Philadelphia's weather, grid and prices.
Philadelphia's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (34°F) a Silverado EV 3WT gets an estimated 366 miles, 7% under its 393-mile rating, and about 363 in the coldest week (around January 16, when it averages 34°F). By March it's back to about 410. 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 Philadelphia'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 Philadelphia drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 3WT go in a Philadelphia winter?
About 366 miles on a typical January day (34°F) and about 363 in the coldest week of the year (around January 16, 34°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 7–8% 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 Philadelphia?
About $128 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Pennsylvania's average home electricity rate of 21.7¢/kWh: about 11.0¢ 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 Philadelphia?
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 Philadelphia's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Philadelphia'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.
