2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in Philadelphia, PA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Philadelphia's weather, grid and prices.
Philadelphia's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (34°F) a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 364 miles, 14% under its 424-mile rating, and about 361 in the coldest week (around January 16, when it averages 34°F). By April it's back to about 414. Charging at home at Pennsylvania's average rate (21.7¢/kWh) costs about $126 a month for 38 miles a day, against $293 for a gas Silverado on the Central Atlantic's gas. And Philadelphia's grid (RFC East), 22% cleaner than the US average, makes it 74% 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 Philadelphia drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Philadelphia winter?
About 364 miles on a typical January day (34°F) and about 361 in the coldest week of the year (around January 16, 34°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 14–15% 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 Philadelphia?
About $126 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Pennsylvania's average home electricity rate of 21.7¢/kWh: about 10.9¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Central Atlantic's average gas ($4.31 a gallon) costs about $293 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Philadelphia?
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 Philadelphia's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Philadelphia's grid (RFC East) is 22% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV LT charged on it makes 74% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
