Robert Wallace, a certified energy manager and self-proclaimed rural energy innovator, has found that the fuel savings he sees in his 2023 RAM 3500 diesel and a new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV can be seen in real life. Despite diesel prices rising above $6.00 per gallon, it is now more expensive than ever to transport sailboat fuel around town in a pickup truck. Wallace found the savings surprising as he was driving about 2+ miles per kWh out of his 170 kWh battery compared to the 5.5 cents per mile it's costing him to drive the Silverado. If he drives 48,000 miles per year, he will save more than $8,400 per year.
