2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 / Denali in Fayetteville, AR
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Fayetteville's weather, grid and prices.
Fayetteville's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (36°F) a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali gets an estimated 365 miles, 11% under its 410-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 7, when it averages 36°F). By June it's back to about 427. Charging at home at Arkansas's average rate (14.3¢/kWh) costs about $84 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $265 a gas Sierra costs on the Gulf Coast's gas. Fayetteville's grid (SPP South) is 14% dirtier than the US average, but charging on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than gas.
Partly estimated. 2 of 5 temperature bands are from 117 real drives of this model; the rest come from 1,548 real drives in EVs at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), applied to its 410-mile rating. Each band switches to its own drives once it has 20 from 3 drivers.

Questions Fayetteville drivers ask
How far can a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali go in a Fayetteville winter?
About 365 miles on a typical January day (36°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 7, 36°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 11% below its 410-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali in Fayetteville?
About $84 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Arkansas's average home electricity rate of 14.3¢/kWh: about 7.2¢ a mile. A gas Sierra on the Gulf Coast's average gas ($3.78 a gallon) costs about $265 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali on a regular 120 V outlet in Fayetteville?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (28 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 17 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Fayetteville's grid?
Yes. Fayetteville's grid (SPP South) is 14% dirtier than the US average, but a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali charged on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than a gas Sierra.
