2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in Spokane, WA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Spokane's weather, grid and prices.
Spokane's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (32°F) a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 353 miles, 17% under its 424-mile rating, and about 347 in the coldest week (around December 21, when it averages 31°F). By May it's back to about 417. Charging at home at Washington's average rate (14.7¢/kWh) costs about $87 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $363 a gas Silverado costs on Washington's gas. And Spokane's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 72% 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 Spokane drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Spokane winter?
About 353 miles on a typical January day (32°F) and about 347 in the coldest week of the year (around December 21, 31°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 17–18% below its 424-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Spokane averages 41 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Spokane?
About $87 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Washington's average home electricity rate of 14.7¢/kWh: about 7.6¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Washington's average gas ($5.33 a gallon) costs about $363 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Spokane?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (27 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Spokane's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Spokane's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV LT charged on it makes 72% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
