How much does it cost to charge a Chevrolet Silverado EV?

At the U.S. average residential rate (16.9¢/kWh), a full home charge of the Chevrolet Silverado EV (170 kWh, ~440 mi range) costs about $31.92 — 7.8¢ per mile. Public DC fast charging at ~43¢/kWh runs about $73.10 per full charge.

How long does it take to charge a Chevrolet Silverado EV?

On a Level 2 home charger the Chevrolet Silverado EV accepts up to 19.2 kW, so an empty-to-full charge takes about 9.8 hours (roughly 41 miles of range per hour). At a DC fast charger its ~350 kW peak gives a 10–80% charge in about 31 minutes. On a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), a full charge takes around 143 hours.

What home charger do I need for a Chevrolet Silverado EV?

Any Level 2 (240V) charger works; the Chevrolet Silverado EV's onboard charger caps AC charging at 19.2 kW, so a 80A unit on a 100A circuit reaches that limit — a more powerful charger will not charge it faster. The electricity cost is the same at any speed: $31.92 per full charge at the national-average rate.

Living with a Chevrolet Silverado EV: the cost story

The Silverado EV's headline is its enormous pack and GM's clever split-pack architecture that lets it charge faster than its 400-volt badge suggests. The Work Truck trims carry batteries so large that a full home charge is a multi-day trickle on a small circuit — wire the garage properly for this one.

For fleet and towing duty its per-mile electricity cost still undercuts diesel by a wide margin; for solo commuting, you're hauling a lot of battery you rarely use.

Chevrolet Silverado EV charging speed & home charger

Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the Chevrolet Silverado EV's onboard AC limit (19.2 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~350 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.

Level 1 (120V outlet), empty → full

Home charger sizing: the Chevrolet Silverado EV tops out at 19.2 kW on AC, so a 80-amp charger on a 100-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 332 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
