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...

A Hummer EV (electric vehicle) reportedly takes days to charge when plugged into a standard wall outlet, a YouTuber claims. TFLEV,
a channel dedicated to showcasing electric vehicles, shared video footage on Sunday of the GMC Hummer EV that boasts the largest battery you can buy, the person behind the camera said. “It’s Sunday morning and let’s see how long it takes to charge it just using the truck’s charger and plugging it into a standard wall outlet,” he continued before attaching the charger to the vehicle’s plug.

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...

It must be one of the more dramatic failures of an electric vehicle chronicled thus far. And
it could have ended up much worse. In a video posted on YouTube on Tuesday, Roman Mica, publisher of the website The Fast Lane Truck, recounted how his website had purchased a brand new General Motors Hummer EV. Price: $115,000. After only a few days, and with fewer than 250 miles on the vehicle, the Hummer had problems in spectacular fashion. Alone on a busy highway, Mica found himself stranded. In true journalistic fashion, he pulled out his camera and documented what had...

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 —...

GO GREEN, GET BROKE: Test Finds New Electric Hummer Costs Over $100 to Charge – More Than It Costs to Fill up Most Gas Tanks

Electric Hummer A test has found that it costs over $100 to fully charge the battery of an electric pickup truck, far more than it would cost to fill up the gas tank of a large gas-powered truck of similar quality. In
2010, General Motors stopped manufacturing Hummers, a brand of pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) that were massively criticized for being massive gas-guzzlers. In late 2020, GMC, a division of General Motors, came out with the new GMC Hummer EV, a line of electric battery-powered pickup trucks and SUVs. (Related: Range test finds gas pickup can tow...

Tested: How Towing Affects the Electric Pickups—Hummer EV, Rivian R1T, and the Ford F-150 Lightning
|
| |
Car and Driver | August 16, 2022 | DAVE VANDERWERP
These new electric pickups are wonderful towing companions, aided by massive horsepower and torque that allow for easy merging with the flow of interstate traffic, and their heavy curb weights (between 6855 pounds for the F-150 and 9640 pounds for the Hummer) lend an impressive stability when lugging a three-ton trailer. But
you won't want to be going far, as a full battery will take you a mere 100 miles in the Lightning, 110 miles in the R1T, and 140 miles in the Hummer. Although the Hummer consumes electricity at the highest rate of the three, its considerably larger battery...

Chevy Silverado EV enjoys strong demand The Chevrolet Silverado EV – GM’s direct competitor for the Ford F-150 Lightning – won’t go on sale until the spring of 2023 but the truck already enjoys a solid interest from potential customers. The
electric pickup is part of General Motors’ plan to produce 400,000 electric vehicles between 2022 and 2024, and it is apparently doing a great job of attracting attention from future EV owners. GM’s CEO Mary Barra spoke earlier this week during an investors’ call following the release of the automaker’s second-quarter financial results and unveiled the Silverado EV enjoys...

Deep diving into the Hummer EV; a vehicle I’m not sure I’ve ever had such conflicting thoughts about. On
one hand, it’s a brilliant vehicle, wildly capable off-road, and genuinely feels like it has the ability to embarrass both the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX in any scenario, but on the other hand, it appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with a quote about “engineering a greener future.”There are three 250 kW electric motors, which combined give you 1,000 horsepower and 1200 lb-ft of torque. So despite weighing over 9,000 lbs, GM claims it’ll reach 60 miles per hour...

The massive electric pickup truck made some headlines these days because of its enormous weight. It
already had raised concerns from safety specialists frightened with what a 9,063 pounds (4,103 kilograms) accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in 3 seconds could represent in traffic. The battery pack alone weighs 2,923 lb (1,326 kg). It has a usable capacity of 212.7 kWh. Car and Driver calculated its gross capacity, and that’s 246.8 kWh. We have already mentioned it weighs as much as compact cars such as the Toyota Corolla ... ... The Rivian R1T achieves a 70 MPGe rating,...

The NYPD pulled over Christopher Stoney at West 16th Street because of the air rifle atop his Hummer. A rapper and fashion mogul out of Philly found out the streets of New York are no place for a Hummer with a roof-mounted long gun — even if it’s just an air rifle
that shoots promo T-shirts. ...the vehicle’s massive, four-foot-long air rifle somehow caught the eye of cops “I’m sorry to say but the NYPD is about to confiscate my cannon off my truck. This s–t is crazy right now, man. They’re taking it,” he said in the clip.

In an amazing twist of fate, General Motors' gas-guzzling middle-finger-flying Hummer brand, discontinued in 2010, is poised to make a comeback for 2022 as an all-electric sub-brand of GMC. We know very little about the GMC Hummer EV SUT pickup truck so far. But
we do know that it will offer 1000 horsepower and GMC claims it's capable of blasting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. Pickup trucks are clearly the next frontier for electric vehicles, as potential rivals from upstarts such as Rivian, Bollinger, and Tesla—as well as entrenched truckmakers such as Ford—are preparing their own...

General Motors Co will revive the Hummer name to sell a new family of electric pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles and will tout the return with a Super Bowl ad featuring NBA star Lebron James, two people briefed on the matter said on Friday. The vehicles will be sold under the
GMC nameplate. Reuters reported in October that GM planned to build a new family of premium electric pickup trucks at its Detroit-Hamtramck plant beginning in late 2021 and was considering reviving the Hummer name, citing several people familiar with the plans.
