A. According to GMC, it'll take about 10 minutes to restore 100 miles of range when the truck goes on sale in 2022.
Complete, marketing BS.
If the range of a Hummer is 300 miles, they are implying to stupid people it would only take 30 minutes to fully charge the battery.
1) No lithium Ion battery can go from zero to full charge in 30 minutes, without severely limiting the life of the battery.
2) the KW's required would require special chargers that currently don't exist. The most you'll get out of a home charger is 10-20 miles/hour.
It's weird they would publish such BS without question/caveats.

Indeed, that is an physical barrier with current battery tech. The initial charging of the battery to 25% capacity is fast. It slows down more and more as you attempt to bring it up to 100%. It’s tough herding electrons.
“No lithium Ion battery can go from zero to full charge in 30 minutes, without severely limiting the life of the battery.”
GMC clearly states that you will not get a full charge at that rate. Your rant is baseless.
They are not saying full charge that is what they want you to hear. They said 100 miles. Like putting 4 gallons into a 18 gallon tank. One half hour.
Not good
