Only drives from drivers who chose to share their efficiency data, with no names or locations. Efficiency is distance ÷ the energy each battery reported using, net of regen. Real-world range is the usable battery, measured from shared drives (or estimated from the EPA figures), × the real efficiency, at the drives' average speed (weighted by distance, like the efficiency). EPA ratings include charging losses, so vs EPA compares at the battery. How it's measured
Questions
- What is the real-world efficiency of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT (Extended Range)?
- Across 98 real drives by 1 PlugLog driver (850 miles), the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT (Extended Range) averaged 2.29 mi/kWh, 7% below its EPA rating. That's the energy its battery actually used, net of regen, not a lab test.
- What is the real-world range of the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT (Extended Range)?
- About 447 miles on a full charge: its usable battery (about 195 kWh) at the 2.29 mi/kWh it averaged, at an average 23 mph. The EPA rates it at 424 miles.
- How much range does the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT (Extended Range) lose in cold weather?
- Between 32°F and 50°F it averaged 2.30 mi/kWh, against 1.94 mi/kWh at 68–86°F: no less range in the cold, about 449 miles on a full charge.

How it's measured
Real drives, straight from the battery.
EPA ratings come from a lab cycle. These come from the road: every drive shared by a PlugLog driver, recorded by the car itself.
Measured, not estimated
The PlugLog car app reads your battery's power many times a minute and checks it against the battery level. Efficiency is distance over the energy actually used, net of regen.
Shared on purpose
Drives count only if their driver shares their efficiency and charging data, and then all of them do, so no one picks their best. No names, no routes, no locations: just how the EV did.
Every condition
Cold mornings, highway runs, short hops. Filter by the weather, speed and trip length to see the numbers that match how you'd drive.
Track your own EV
Get numbers like these for your car.
PlugLog logs every drive and charge, works out what your EV really gets, and lets you share it to help the next buyer.
