A YouTuber recently demonstrated that buyers of GMC’s new electric Hummer better clear their calendars if the truck is running low on battery charge. The video he produced demonstrated that when the $80,000+ electric vehicle (EV) is plugged in to a regular house outlet, it will take over four days to fully charge. A special 240-volt charger still takes a full day to charge the vehicle.
A YouTuber with an electric GMC Hummer — an EV starting at $86,645 — plugged in his EV at home and found out that it would take, at best, one day to charge — as long as he has special charging equipment installed.

A similar article by another writer was posted a couple hours ago. Here’s my comment:
I drove 3800 miles for work in September. 3816 to be exact. Most of that was pulling a trailer, which we’ll forget about for this.
Assuming the Hummer actually does get 300 miles per charge and that I used the 24 hour charger, 12.6 days would be spent charging. In other words, 40% of the time would be spent waiting for my battery to charge.
3800 is a little heavy for me but not by much.
EV mandates will force me to lose my current job. Great idea

He’s using low quality hamster food and needs to grease the wheel.
That’s all it is
Considering that the purpose of an EV is to park it in one’s immaculate garage and then show it off to people (Virtue Signal), why should an owner care how long it takes to charge the battery?
HA... How long before the thieve are dropping the entire battery pack from the bottom of the car.
Steal an EV. Not likely.
How about the day when someone reports YOUR EV stolen when you are driving it somewhere ???
Will they remotely cut off your vehicle power, mid interstate driving ?
Talk about a new form of ‘swatting’ your enemies.

However, he'll not be able to fool himself into thinking the things are environmentally friendly. But that was never the goal for these narcissistic, pretentious hypocrites. It was always about appearing to be a friend of the environment.
