Questions Cape Coral drivers ask

How far can a Silverado EV 4WT go in a Cape Coral winter?

Cape Coral's winters are mild: about 450 miles on a typical January day (65°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 11, 64°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's about its 450-mile rating.

About $94 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Florida's average home electricity rate of 15.0¢/kWh: about 8.1¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Florida's average gas ($3.98 a gallon) costs about $271 a month for the same driving.

Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 28 miles in 12 hours on an average day (29 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 11 hours.
