Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Augusta's weather, grid and prices.

Charging at home at Georgia's average rate (16.3¢/kWh) costs about $91 a month for 38 miles a day, against $263 for a gas Silverado on the Lower Atlantic's gas.

Estimated. This model doesn't have enough real drives at each temperature yet, so these come from 1,548 real drives in EVs (98 of them this model's) at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), as a share of their own EPA ratings, applied to its 424-mile rating. Each temperature band switches to this model's own drives once it has 20 from 3 drivers.

Questions Augusta drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Augusta winter?
Augusta's winters are mild: about 404 miles on a typical January day (47°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 9, 47°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 5% of its 424-mile rating.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Augusta?
About $91 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Georgia's average home electricity rate of 16.3¢/kWh: about 7.9¢ 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 LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Augusta?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (31 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Augusta's grid?
Yes. Augusta's grid (SERC South) is 10% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV LT charged on it still makes 64% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
