Why the winter number is lower: batteries lose range in the cold, and heating the cabin uses energy. We knock about 28% off the EPA figure for a January morning in the mountains. That still leaves 206 miles — about 6 days of a 30-mile commute on one charge.

Checked against dealer and review trim guides (source: CarsDirect 2027 Silverado EV specs (WT: lane keep, blind zone steering assist, heated front seats, 120V outlets); GM Authority (heated front seats new for 2027 WT)). Gathered with AI help and may contain errors — confirm with the dealer. “Not standard” usually means it's available at extra cost or on a higher trim.

When the power goes out

  • Household outlet: runs a fridge, lights and phones straight from the vehicle — nothing to install.
  • 240 V / 30 A in the bed (PowerBase): can back up essential circuits through a generator-style transfer switch (A transfer switch or interlock plus an electrician — typically several hundred dollars to about $1,500).
  • Whole-home backup: GM Energy V2H bundle: the PowerShift bidirectional charger plus the V2H enablement kit — $7,299 before installation; installations ran $1,700–$6,900 in one test. The kit alone is $5,600 if you already have the charger.. 2024–2026 model years; some 2024s need a dealer or over-the-air update.
  • A full 119 kWh battery is about 3 days of a typical home's electricity, or about 9½ days running essentials. How each option works.
