Watch: Man Buys $115k Hummer Electric Truck - It Immediately Left Him Stranded in Middle of Road

The new General Motors Hummer electrical vehicle, priced at $115,000, has presented owners with many problems.

Roman Mica, the publisher of the website The Fast Lane Truck, posted a video of a brand new Hummer with multiple problems.

Mica was unable to move the vehicle because the shifter wouldn’t move and the trunk would not open. He finally got it in gear and drove it back to the dealer.

WATCH:

Reports have been published that point out an “offroad” Hummer malfunctions if a car wash goes awry, and issues with the software have caused faulty tail lights.

The Hummer is not the only electric vehicle experiencing issues.

A 2014 Ford Focus Electric needed a new battery that cost $14,000 -- and the car originally cost $11,000!

Consumer research group J.D. Power last year published a study indicating that EV owners are far less satisfied with their cars than are those who own traditional gas-powered vehicles. And it seems that unreliability of battery power is but one of the issues.

And yet, “progressive” politicians and “green energy” advocates remain obsessed with forcing Americans to buy electric vehicles in spite of the many problems that continue to plague the industry. The most rabid proponents of electric automobiles refuse to let the free market decide if such cars and trucks are truly wanted or even necessary.

Have 1976 1 ton 4 speed dually Chevy truck with over 348,000 miles on it

Have 1979 Buick station wagon with over 221,000 miles on it.

Bought 1965 Pontiac wagon new & put over 444,000 miles on it & sold it to a restorer in Sweden.

Had 1957 Pontiac I put over 50,000 miles on.

NOT unhappy with GM-—BUT these were ALL OLDER generation vehicles.

I am less than impressed by those numbers as my 1987 Jaguar XJ6 has over 300K and we all know those weren’t paragons of reliability.

Had lots of GMs that left me stranded or raided my bank account, though - older and newer.

Maybe they should switch from digital media to carrier pigeons.
