Questions Cleveland drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV Trail Boss go in a Cleveland winter?
About 369 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about 365 in the coldest week of the year (around January 20, 29°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 25–26% below its 493-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Cleveland averages 56 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss in Cleveland?
About $128 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Ohio's average home electricity rate of 19.4¢/kWh: about 11.0¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on Cleveland's average gas ($4.32 a gallon) costs about $294 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss on a regular 120 V outlet in Cleveland?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 29 miles in 12 hours on an average day (23 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 12 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Cleveland's grid?
Yes. Cleveland's grid (RFC West) is 19% dirtier than the US average, but a Silverado EV Trail Boss charged on it still makes 55% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
