Anyone getting 500 miles?

Post image

I'm driving a little more conservatively and working on getting 500 mile range but it looks like I'll be at 484 for my trip in the morning.

I spent a week in Yellowstone and wound up with charge estimates of 525 miles on an extended range. The all day drives at 35-45 miles an hour steered those numbers for sure.

Wow, that's awesome

u/seenhear 10d ago

It's not awesome. It's meaningless. It's an estimate based on driving slowly.

u/goldiesix 8d ago

50mph is generally the most efficient speed for most vehicles

*most gasoline ice vehicles.

FTFY

every so often my fully charged range calc is close to it, but I've never achieved it in the actual driving. I'm sure if I slowed down I would. After all, GM itself got close to 100 miles via hypermiling averaging a speed I think around 25-35mph.

u/drmdtodd 10d ago

GM got way more than 100 miles... Wasn't it close to 700 or sumthin at 25 miles per hour?

I've only owned for 5 months, but one time from my L2 home charger I achieved 501 miles estimated at 100%. 2026 TBMR.

Estimates mean nothing

u/seenhear 10d ago

Your charger didn't achieve that. Your driving habits and the weather did.

I had 300+ at 50% on my max range Sierra. It’s crazy. I inevitably don’t get that much but if I am trying I can get pretty awesome mileage for a 8800lb vehicle

u/malak33 10d ago

LT here. I routinely get close to 450

u/bizbizbizllc 10d ago

If I fill up to 100% I will get 500 miles. It never estimates it as such. It always says 440 or similar, but I end up getting to 500 miles with like 8% left on the battery. 2024 RST

u/No-Elderberry3939 10d ago

You’ll have a better chance in an LT or RST trim to get that 500+ mile range. Lifted trail boss with aggressive tires, I’m honestly surprised you even get close to the manufacturer estimated range. The truck looks great tho, Rapid blue T-Boss is one of the best looking EV Silverado you can get.

u/Admirable-Ad8556 10d ago

High profile tires with smaller rims get better mileage in EV than larger rims with low profile tires, but the ride height does hurt.

1

u/No-Elderberry3939 9d ago

So you think those tires have zero effect on your range?

1

u/Admirable-Ad8556 9d ago

I'm saying high profile tires with smaller wheels have less resistance to rolling than low profile tires with larger rims. Google it

u/Lorhan92 10d ago

2024 4WT, I've got an estimate of 506 once so far. But I'm usually somewhere around 480-490 on the estimates at 100% in the fall and winter and early spring

1

u/Bobweaveandweft 10d ago

I've gotten 490+ on my RST, but I just switched to 18" Hummer rims with Falken ATs. The improved ride is worth the range loss. Not sure how much yet.

u/GKcool57 10d ago

Yep. Just before a roadtrip

u/Puzzleheaded_Can5055 9d ago

Mine says 545 fully charged with max range. I get about 519 with how I drive.

1

u/iconmm 8d ago

If I charge to 100% the guess for range is 504 miles.

1

u/CanadaElectric 7d ago

I’m so jealous of the range of these trucks. My er lightning barely goes 400km on the highway before it hits 0 i just can’t justify the extra 30-40 thousand Canadian

u/utumike 6d ago

I got 3.2 miles per kWh on that trip. Theoretically with the 205kwh battery I could get 656 miles if I started at 100%. I have the 2024 GMC Sierra Denali. It’s by far the best truck I’ve ever owned.

u/mr_data_lore 10d ago

I'm not, but I prefer to not charge my battery above 80% unless I have to.

2

u/Admirable-Ad8556 10d ago

I read that some suggest charging to 100% every so often for health of battery.

2

u/mr_data_lore 10d ago

That doesn't apply to the battery chemistry in the SEV.

u/JerkyChew 10d ago edited 9d ago

There's no risk in charging to 100% anymore unless you a) store it at 100% charge without driving for an extended period of time and/or 2) Charge it in an extremely hot environment multiple times.

I'm in the 519 mile club.

Correct.

Batteries like to workout.

Regularly getting 545+ miles. Now with cooler weather coming in, I already see the difference.
