2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss in Provo, UT
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Provo's weather, grid and prices.
Provo's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (33°F) a Silverado EV Trail Boss gets an estimated 393 miles, 20% under its 493-mile rating, and about 385 in the coldest week (around December 26, when it averages 32°F). By March it's back to about 458. Summer costs range here too: at July's 79°F average (highs near 95°F), air conditioning trims it to about 427 miles. Charging at home at Utah's average rate (13.3¢/kWh) costs about $86 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $303 a gas Silverado costs on the Rocky Mountains's gas. And Provo's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 69% less CO₂ than gas.

Questions Provo drivers ask
How far can a Silverado EV Trail Boss go in a Provo winter?
About 393 miles on a typical January day (33°F) and about 385 in the coldest week of the year (around December 26, 32°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 20–22% below its 493-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Provo averages 21 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss in Provo?
About $86 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Utah's average home electricity rate of 13.3¢/kWh: about 7.5¢ a mile. A gas Silverado on the Rocky Mountains's average gas ($4.46 a gallon) costs about $303 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Silverado EV Trail Boss on a regular 120 V outlet in Provo?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 29 miles in 12 hours on an average day (25 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 12 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Provo's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Provo's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so a Silverado EV Trail Boss charged on it makes 69% less CO₂ than a gas Silverado.
