Slate Reality Check · Fayetteville, AR
Slate truck 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 Slate gets an estimated 181 miles, 12% under its 205-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 7, when it averages 36°F).

Fayetteville's grid (SPP South) is 14% dirtier than the US average, but charging on it still makes 63% less CO₂ than gas.
