What else moves your Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range cost
The 5-year total already folds in depreciation, charging, insurance, maintenance and financing. These are the levers that actually move money on this car, biggest first — each figure re-run through the same kernel with one input changed. Levers that don't move $400+ here aren't listed.
- Financing. The total finances $66,100 of the $69,100 price at 7.0% over 60 months: $12,432 of pure interest, 15% of everything above. Paying cash or shopping the rate removes it outright — both are inputs in the calculator.
- Where you charge. The total assumes 80% home charging. Flip that — 20% home, 80% public DC fast at the 2.5× rate the kernel uses — and the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range's 5-year total rises to $86,269, $5,431 more. If you can't charge at home, that is the number that applies to you.
- Depreciation curve. We cost the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range on its own residual curve, not the EV average: it holds 39% of its $69,100 after 5 years against 43% for a typical EV. That is about $2,764 more depreciation than the class curve would give it — and depreciation is $42,151 of the $80,838 above (52%).
- Insurance. At $2,750/yr this EV costs $550/yr more to insure than a comparable gas car ($2,200/yr). Over 5 years that is $2,750 working against it, already inside the total. EV parts and repairs are the reason.
- Efficiency, and what it drags with it. At 48 kWh/100mi the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range sits above the 32 kWh/100mi median of the 44 EVs we price — worth $2,615 more electricity over 5 years at these rates. Consumption tracks mass, and mass is what eats tires and brakes.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range costs about $80,838 to own over 5 years in the U.S. — $1,347/month, $1.35/mi at 12,000 mi/yr — and depreciation is the biggest line: $42,151, 52% of the total (as of August 6, 2026).
- Where the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range's $80,838 actually goes: depreciation $42,151 (52%), insurance $13,750 (17%), financing interest $12,432 (15%), charging $7,845 (10%), maintenance $3,660 (5%), registration & fees $1,000 (1%).
- Per mile, that is $0.70 of depreciation and $0.13 of charging, with $0.51 for everything else — $1.35/mile all-in.

What we assume for maintenance
Maintenance & repairs for the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range are costed at $0.061/mi (our standard EV rate) — about $732/yr at 12,000 mi/yr, and $3,660 of the 5-year total above. That's about $636/yr less than the $0.114/mi we cost for the gas Ford F-150 XLT it is compared against above ($6,840 over 5 years) — no oil changes, fewer wearing parts, regenerative braking.
Rates are anchored to U.S. DOE 2025 per-mile figures (AAA-calibrated) — full sourcing in the methodology. The total scales with the annual-miles input in the calculator.
Cost to charge the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range at home
A full charge of the Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range costs about $36, and it runs about $10.06 per 100 mi at home — versus about $12.82 for a typical 30 mpg gas car. Home charging only (the ~12% AC charging loss is included); public DC fast-charging is billed per session by each network — often 2–3× the home rate — and isn't in these figures.
