In a typical Ogden January (29°F), a Slate gets an estimated 163 miles on a charge, 20% less than its 205-mile rating, and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around December 30, when it averages 28°F). By May it's back to about 203. Charging at home at Utah's average rate (13.1¢/kWh) costs about $50 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $199 a gas Ford Maverick costs on the Rocky Mountains's gas. And Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 72% less CO₂ than gas.
Estimated. Almost no one's driving a Slate yet, so these come from 1,548 real drives in other EVs at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), applied to the Slate's rating. They switch to real Slate drives as owners log them.

Questions Ogden drivers ask
How far can a Slate go in a Ogden winter?
About 163 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around December 30, 28°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures.

About $50 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Utah's average home electricity rate of 13.1¢/kWh: about 4.3¢ a mile. A gas Ford Maverick on the Rocky Mountains's average gas ($4.47 a gallon) costs about $199 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Slate on a regular 120 V outlet in Ogden?
At 38 miles a day, yes, all year: a 120 V outlet adds about 40 miles in 12 hours even in Ogden's coldest week, and about 49 on an average day.

Yes, more than most places. Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so a Slate charged on it makes 72% less CO₂ than a gas Ford Maverick.
