2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in Cleveland, OH
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Cleveland's weather, grid and prices.
Cleveland's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (29°F) a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 342 miles, 19% under its 424-mile rating, and about 339 in the coldest week (around January 20, when it averages 29°F). By May it's back to about 420. Charging at home at Ohio's average rate (19.4¢/kWh) costs about $115 a month for 38 miles a day, against $278 for a gas Silverado on Cleveland's gas. Cleveland's grid (RFC West) is 19% dirtier than the US average, but charging on it still makes 59% less CO₂ than 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 Cleveland drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Cleveland winter?
About 342 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about 339 in the coldest week of the year (around January 20, 29°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 19–20% below its 424-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Cleveland averages 56 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Cleveland?
About $115 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Ohio's average home electricity rate of 19.4¢/kWh: about 10.0¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Cleveland's average gas ($4.09 a gallon) costs about $278 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Cleveland?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (26 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Cleveland's grid?
Yes. Cleveland's grid (RFC West) is 19% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV LT charged on it still makes 59% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
