Questions Kansas City drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 4WT go in a Kansas City winter?
About 379 miles on a typical January day (31°F) and about 376 in the coldest week of the year (around January 12, 31°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 16% below its 450-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Kansas City averages 32 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 4WT in Kansas City?
About $103 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Missouri's average home electricity rate of 16.1¢/kWh: about 8.9¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Midwest's average gas ($4.14 a gallon) costs about $282 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 4WT on a regular 120 V outlet in Kansas City?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 29 miles in 12 hours on an average day (24 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 11 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Kansas City's grid?
Yes. Kansas City's grid (SPP North) is 12% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV 4WT charged on it still makes 59% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
