It seems like the apple doesn’t really fall too far from the tree. While the GMC Hummer EV is a zero-emissions vehicle designed to be a strong statement of General Motors’ dedication to the electric vehicle revolution, some of the pickup truck’s behavior definitely seems to be very similar to its gas-guzzling combustion-powered predecessors.
The Hummer EV is equipped with a mammoth battery pack that has roughly 210 kWh of capacity. That’s about the size of a Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid’s battery pack combined. With this in mind, it is no surprise that charging such a massive battery would take quite a bit of power. This was something that became evident during a charging session at an Electrify America station.
YouTube host Kyle Conner of the Out of Spec Reviews channel recently tested how much it would cost to charge a Hummer EV Edition 1 from 0-100% at an Electrify America station without any incentives or memberships. The results were quite shocking, as the monster all-electric pickup truck’s charging session ended up costing $96.89 before taxes and fees. It also took 152 minutes, or about two and a half hours, to charge the hulking EV from zero to full.
It should be noted that the YouTube host’s demonstration would probably not be true for many drivers of the Hummer EV. For one, Conner charged the vehicle from 0-100%, which resulted in an extended charging time. Typical EV drivers charge their vehicles only until 80% or so, which makes sessions much shorter and more affordable. Incentives or memberships tied to Electrify America would also lower the price of charging the Hummer EV.

LOL, the idea that anything useful came from sub Saharan Africa is comical.
They never seem to talk about North Africans(non Negro) using them as slaves.
As if Cleopatra was some black chick…
A relative of mine was driving a S class when they got hit head on by a person suffering a medical emergency some years ago. The cop at the scene told the relative they likely would have died in a less fortified car. Fortunately for the relative, they walked with some bumps and bruises after a brief visit to the ER.
I learned that in 1985 when my 1970 Coupe DeVille given to a teenage nephew was in a head on highway speed crash with a drunk driven Chevy Monza. Both the drunk driver car occupants died at the scene and my nephew had a seat belt bruise on his collarbone.
EV Hummer, still a Hummer. Ridiculous vehicles for people with more money than sense for 30 proud years.

As a Yute, we used to be able to fill up a car of teenagers using collected pocket change.
$5 face value of silver quarters is worth well over $100. Still a tank of gas for most vehicles.
True, But;
We never got to $5 [close but no cigar] and I just checked my pocket change and found but little Silver.
Times have certainly changed.
The auto industry seems to have conflicting regulatory actions aimed in their direction. One one hand, they have to comply with CAFE standards and on the hand have to comply with NTSB crash standards.
I’m probably on a few “lists”.
Wait until he has to replace the $4000 brake light
Holy crap.
I think that number comes from a Hummer EV tail light.

Hey, but he saved $60 on gas this week and he feels good about that.
Bulb was over 1k and they wouldn’t sell it to him, had to go to the dealer, and they had to install it, total $4160.

“Typical EV drivers charge their vehicles only until 80% or so, which makes sessions much shorter and more affordable.”
And much more frequent.
Right. Eventually they’ll spend just as much too. So no savings there.
They have the crash standards rigged. They run cars into a stationary object which presents only the force generated by the kinetic energy of the crash vehicle. The rigging is exaggerated because the kinetic energy of a weight in motion is an exponential factor. So it is much harder for a heavy vehicle to comply against a stationary object. If they ran a Chevy Suburban into a Prius head on, the Prius would be toast.
It all a trick to trap consumers into buying little cars and let them die in them.
I agree
