2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 / Denali in Oklahoma City, OK
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Oklahoma City's weather, grid and prices.
Oklahoma City's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (38°F) a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali gets an estimated 372 miles, 9% under its 410-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 1, when it averages 38°F). By May it's back to about 419. Charging at home at Oklahoma's average rate (14.3¢/kWh) costs about $83 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $291 a gas Sierra costs on the Midwest's gas. Oklahoma City's grid (SPP South) is 14% dirtier than the US average, but charging on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than gas.

Questions Oklahoma City drivers ask
How far can a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali go in a Oklahoma City winter?
About 372 miles on a typical January day (38°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 1, 38°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 9% 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 Oklahoma City?
About $83 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Oklahoma's average home electricity rate of 14.3¢/kWh: about 7.2¢ a mile. A gas Sierra on the Midwest's average gas ($4.14 a gallon) costs about $291 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Sierra EV AT4 / Denali on a regular 120 V outlet in Oklahoma City?
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 Oklahoma City's grid?
Yes. Oklahoma City'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.
