Questions Augusta drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV Trail Boss go in a Augusta winter?
Augusta's winters are mild: about 459 miles on a typical January day (47°F) and about the same in the coldest week (around January 9, 47°F), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's within 7% of its 493-mile rating.

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.
