2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT in Worcester, MA
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Worcester's weather, grid and prices.
In a typical Worcester January (25°F), a Silverado EV LT gets an estimated 320 miles on a charge, 25% less than its 424-mile rating, and about 317 miles in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, when it averages 24°F). By May it's back to about 417. Power is pricey in Massachusetts (30.5¢/kWh), so charging at home costs about $186 a month for 38 miles a day, still less than the $286 a gas Silverado costs on Massachusetts's gas. And Worcester's grid (NPCC New England), 30% cleaner than the US average, makes it 75% 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 Worcester drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV LT go in a Worcester winter?
About 320 miles on a typical January day (25°F) and about 317 in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, 24°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 25% below its 424-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Worcester averages 87 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV LT in Worcester?
About $186 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Massachusetts's average home electricity rate of 30.5¢/kWh: about 16.1¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Massachusetts's average gas ($4.20 a gallon) costs about $286 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV LT on a regular 120 V outlet in Worcester?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (24 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 10 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Worcester's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Worcester's grid (NPCC New England) is 30% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV LT charged on it makes 75% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
