Just plug your hummer into a windmill, and blow real hard. EZ

The higher fuel prices are working their wsay through to the cost of electricity.

The idea that “high fuel prices will drive people to electric cars” is foolish. Electric plants use fuel to make electricity.

I don’t remember the Biden Administration saying it was going to be cheaper, just that we wouldn’t have to pay the high gas prices any longer

why the big push for evs?

when most of the evs are powered by electricity generated by conventional fuels?

they want the gas powered cars banned before they “transition” electricity to green energy when electricity prices will skyrocket

It takes $175 to fill my 2500Hd Silverado and about $100 to fill my CTS-V Caddy, but I can fully recharge the fuel cell in about 5 minutes and then go 300 miles plus before needing to recharge.

Electric vehicle will causing nothing but chaos...An epic boondoggle. But the will keep you on a short leash...

In 20 years, it will take 7 hours of waiting in massive lines to charge your electric appliance at Costco..At Costco it’s bad now with gas vehicles and only takes them a couple minutes to fill up.

While my 2008 Hummer H3 does cost over $100 to fill the tank, it gets 250-275 miles for that fill-up. I’d love to have an electric version but 100 miles for over $100 is simply not practical. 100 miles! Many places I go are over 100 miles on pavement BEFORE I get to the off-road driving.

Anyone who can afford an electric Hummer isn’t going o worry about the cost of a charge or tank of gas.

To them, the single biggest factor beyond virtue signaling is time.

How long to charge versus how long to fill the tank?

The recharge will take far longer.

If you want to fill my truck you’d better bring over $130. Otoh for that price I can go over 635 miles. How far did the EV Hummer get for 100 bucks?
