2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in Las Vegas, NV
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Las Vegas's weather, grid and prices.
Winter barely touches range in Las Vegas: at a typical January's 49°F, a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 406 miles on a charge, within 4% of its 424-mile rating. Summer is the harder season here: at July's 92°F average (highs near 104°F), air conditioning trims it to about 425 miles. Charging at home at Nevada's average rate (12.8¢/kWh) costs about $72 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $341 a gas Silverado costs on the West Coast's gas. On Las Vegas's grid (WECC Southwest), about the US average, it makes 70% 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 Las Vegas drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Las Vegas winter?
Las Vegas's winters are mild: about 406 miles on a typical January day (49°F) and about 403 in the coldest week (around December 18, 46°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 5% of its 424-mile rating. The harder season here is summer: about 425 miles in July, with the air conditioning on.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Las Vegas?
About $72 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Nevada's average home electricity rate of 12.8¢/kWh: about 6.2¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the West Coast's average gas ($5.01 a gallon) costs about $341 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Las Vegas?
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 Las Vegas's grid?
Yes. Las Vegas's grid (WECC Southwest) is about the US average, and a Silverado EV LT charged on it makes 70% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
