Questions Atlanta drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV Trail Boss go in a Atlanta winter?
Atlanta's winters are mild: about 458 miles on a typical January day (44°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 9, 43°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 7% of its 493-mile rating.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss in Atlanta?
About $101 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Georgia's average home electricity rate of 15.9¢/kWh: about 8.7¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Lower Atlantic's average gas ($3.83 a gallon) costs about $261 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss on a regular 120 V outlet in Atlanta?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 29 miles in 12 hours on an average day (29 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 12 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Atlanta's grid?
Yes. Atlanta's grid (SERC South) is 10% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV Trail Boss charged on it still makes 60% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
