2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in New York, NY
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for New York's weather, grid and prices.
New York's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (34°F) a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 361 miles, 15% under its 424-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 18, when it averages 33°F). By April it's back to about 413. Power is pricey in New York (29.9¢/kWh), so charging at home costs about $174 a month for 38 miles a day, still less than the $289 a gas Silverado costs on New York City's gas. New York's grid (NPCC NYC/Westchester) is 13% dirtier than the US average, but charging on it still makes 62% 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 New York drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a New York winter?
About 361 miles on a typical January day (34°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 18, 33°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 15% below its 424-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in New York?
About $174 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at New York's average home electricity rate of 29.9¢/kWh: about 15.0¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on New York City'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 New York?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 32 miles in 12 hours on an average day (28 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on New York's grid?
Yes. New York's grid (NPCC NYC/Westchester) is 13% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV LT charged on it still makes 62% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
