Questions Lakeland drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Lakeland winter?

About $84 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Florida's average home electricity rate of 15.0¢/kWh: about 7.2¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Florida's average gas ($3.98 a gallon) costs about $271 a month for the same driving.

Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (32 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
