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 Bridgeport drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Bridgeport winter?
About 351 miles on a typical January day (31°F) and about 348 in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, 31°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 17–18% below its 424-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Bridgeport averages 32 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Bridgeport?
About $142 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Connecticut's average home electricity rate of 24.2¢/kWh: about 12.3¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on New England's average gas ($4.25 a gallon) costs about $289 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Bridgeport?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (27 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Bridgeport's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Bridgeport's grid (NPCC New England) is 30% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV LT charged on it makes 76% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
