Questions Nashville drivers ask

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

Nashville's winters are mild: about 433 miles on a typical January day (40°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 12, 39°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 4% of its 450-mile rating.

How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 4WT in Nashville?

About $86 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Tennessee's average home electricity rate of 13.7¢/kWh: about 7.4¢ 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 Nashville?

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

Is it greener to drive electric on Nashville's grid?

Yes. Nashville's grid (SERC Tennessee Valley) is 17% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV 4WT charged on it still makes 58% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
