2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 / Denali in New York, NY
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for New York's weather, grid and prices.
New York's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (34°F) a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali gets an estimated 355 miles, 13% under its 410-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 18, when it averages 33°F). By June it's back to about 425. Power is pricey in New York (29.9¢/kWh), so charging at home costs about $177 a month for 38 miles a day, still less than the $298 a gas Sierra costs on New York City's gas. New York's grid (NPCC NYC/Westchester) is 13% 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 New York drivers ask
How far can a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali go in a New York winter?
About 355 miles on a typical January day (34°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 18, 33°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 13% 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 New York?
About $177 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at New York's average home electricity rate of 29.9¢/kWh: about 15.3¢ a mile. A gas Sierra on New York City's average gas ($4.25 a gallon) costs about $298 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali on a regular 120 V outlet in New York?
Not at 38 miles a day: a 120 V outlet adds only about 31 miles in 12 hours on an average day (27 in the coldest week). Plan on 240 V, which fills it from 10% in about 17 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on New York's grid?
Yes. New York's grid (NPCC NYC/Westchester) is 13% dirtier than the US average, but a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali charged on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than a gas Sierra.
