Questions Raleigh drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV 4WT go in a Raleigh winter?
Raleigh's winters are mild: about 443 miles on a typical January day (42°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 10, 42°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's about its 450-mile rating.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV 4WT in Raleigh?
About $95 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at North Carolina's average home electricity rate of 15.2¢/kWh: about 8.2¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Lower Atlantic's average gas ($3.86 a gallon) costs about $263 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV 4WT on a regular 120 V outlet in Raleigh?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 29 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.
Is it greener to drive electric on Raleigh's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Raleigh's grid (SERC Virginia/Carolina) is 23% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV 4WT charged on it makes 72% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
