Hummer EV Review - Throttle House

[SwampNut]

I posted this on another forum. I double checked my math, pretty sure I got it right. So ridiculously inefficient.



Now, it looks good, I'll give you that. I found myself thinking, well, don't be a bigot, go test drive one. I start looking, and... Sigh. So GM. So stupid. It has the lowest efficiency of any EV. By far.

47 MPGe (gas equivalent). The Rivian and CT are in the 70-74 range. This means it uses over 700 watt-hours to go a mile. Most e-cars are around 250. Obviously, this is much larger. The other pickups are in the 480 range. So even at my super low rates it costs 3.6 cents/mile instead of the 1.5 I pay now. Damn. The CT would be at 2.5, still quite a bit more than the car. Hmm.

It weighs 9063 pounds. Lots of extra battery to make up for the extremely low efficiency. So now, we have to charge even longer. Am I missing anything on why anyone would buy this thing?

I do like the look a lot though.

Yeah, looks awesome! But as we know, looks can be deceiving.

The thing is, Hummer was built to look like and behave like...a Hummer. It's big and bad, and looks mean. It wasn't made with efficiency in mind. But there's a new cowboy in town, and he's a bulletproof silver surfer that's gonna be tearing through the USA pretty soon! ?
