Thanks Tom, I enjoyed watching the insanity of the hummer EV. My EV, 2020 Hyundai Ioniq with a 38 KW battery pack, is one of the most efficient EVs averaging 5 miles per KW and lightest at 3500 lbs, so it was fun to watch its opposite. I was impressed that it beat it's EPA combined range, I wonder what its range would be at city speeds. I hope you do a 0 to 100% charge video., that will be fun.

[@peterwright837]

The Bolt EV includes the SOC% in the myChevrolet app, which you can display on the infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay. It also provides a pretty accurate estimate of the SOC at your destination. Very handy for road trips.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Yes, but as a journalist that gets the vehicles on loan, that's not an option. Also, a know a lot of people (particularly older folks) that don't use Apple Carplay. This is basic necessary information and it's unforgivable that GM doesn't include it in the vehicle's display screens, IMO.

[@MBergyman]

Tom, I am not sure if it might help you, but on my 2017 Bolt, you can program the radio to shut off ("low power mode" lol) at a few different SoC levels. IIRC, I think you can set it to 10%, 4%, 2%, and 1% SoC in the radio settings menu. It will pop up a message on the screen at that SoC you've selected, letting you know you've arrived at that SoC, and if you want to continue with the radio power-down at that point. May be helpful for you on other GM products, just a suggestion.

[@GregHassler]

Turning off the radio has exactly 0.000001% effect on range. Probably less on a Hummer.

[@MBergyman]

@@GregHassler The point of my comment was not to help save energy. The Bolt and the Hummer both have the issue of not showing the user any specific SoC% once it drops below a certain level, just displaying "LOW" and turning the gauge orange. It is not useful in helping you understand how much more juice you have. The radio shut down warning is able to be set for a SoC below that which the dash will show you, which can be useful to help the user know where the SoC once the gauge has gone to orange and has become otherwise unhelpful.

This battery is ELEVEN times the size of a RAV4 Prime's. If you divvied the rare earth metals up amongst 11 RAVs, all those people would theoretically have 15,000 miles annually of all EV driving (42 miles x 365 days).

Wife has a recall on the Bolt for a software update related to advanced diagnostics for cells, and fixing charging connection issues, which we haven't experienced, and don't want to. We have to take it to a dealer. I'm impressed by the 70mph range of this beast. Even though this thing isn't for towing, anybody that drives one of these in snow should carry a towing strap just in case their fellow man ends up in a ditch.

[@Miata822]

This was a great test! That truck is a monster, makes no sense whatsoever, but that's kinda the point. This would make such a great weekend beater for a certain kind of guy, and I know several here in Texas who fit that bill.

[@ouch1011]

Cool vehicle, not very useful in the real world, but that doesn’t stop people with tons of cash to burn. The range is nice but it comes at a substantial cost. 212kwh of battery in something with the efficiency of your F150 Lightning would mean nearly 450 miles of range. With the efficiency of my Ioniq5, it would be nearly 700 miles of range. So, I think it’s important to put that in perspective. It’s kind of like buses that can go 1000 miles without stopping, but they have 200 gallons of fuel capacity. They aren’t getting good efficiency, they just carry around a lot of energy capacity. The cost per mile is insane. A couple of thoughts. Efficiency has very little to do with motor power output in EVs. Tesla shows this repeatedly, as do some others. Efficiency has more to do with aerodynamics and rolling resistance. The Hummer EV has huge off-road tires and the aerodynamics of a brick, so the efficiency is going to be awful. Also, towing and payload capacity is mostly about suspension design and tire load capacity. Things that are designed for off road use typically have softer suspension. Softer suspension means lower load capacity. Off road tires are less suited to heavy loads, so less weight can be carried. Same thing happens with the Ram TRX. Also consider that this thing already weighs 9000lbs. The tires already have to support that weight. Many ICE trucks at that weight would have dual rear wheels. This doesn’t.

[@kens97sto171]

Great range test.. I agree with you about the lack of a mileage number at the bottom of the pack. But I think most regular customers would prefer a mile number for range rather than percent... Its more accurate relative to how for they can drive than percent. Be nice to have both. The Bolt EV does have a nice display that shows range as a low and high and estimated actual range.. AND shows the trend up or down.. With some practice you can run that car VERY low and still get to your charger.

[@InsideEVsUS]

We're definitely not saying they should remove the estimated range, just offer both and let the customer configure the display to show what they want it to show- pretty easy to do.

[@kens97sto171]

@@InsideEVsUS I agree with you both should be an option. But I think for the average consumer seeing how many miles you have left is more useful than a percentage. Percentage doesn't really tell you how far you can drive. But really it'd be nice just to show both side by side

Nice review. Over 200kw and only 329 miles and 1.6 miles per Kw is the modern day 13 miles per gallon or so. Oh man, the Bolt winding up on the “flatbed of shame” is an EV nightmare.

[@joemcdonough7509]

Yes that's true, but take someone living in Utah for example. This Hummer EV would cost only $23-24 to charge from 0-100% because Utah's electricity rates are only $0.11kw. So it's kind of like those gas guzzlers prior to 1973. Sure they only got 12MPG, but who cares when you can fill up back then for maybe $10. Unfortunately for me, I live in New England, which has one of the highest rates of electricity. So a full charge would be around $60-70 here. That's why I am planning to get solar in the near future to offset some if not all of NE electric tax.

@@MrNarutokun406 Not only that, but for any device that uses lithium batteries (cars, ebikes, scooters, laptops, phones, etc), it's wise to buy the biggest battery pack available and - keep the usage range between 20-80% as much as possible. - keep the battery closest to 50% when not in use for a long period of time. You will greatly extend the life of your battery by doing so while at the same time not really sacrifice your daily needs for capacity. I've got a 3 year old ebike that has no visible signs of battery degradation because of my strict charging regiment. If the device doesn't have built in battery controls, you can buy an electrical outlet timer and program it to charge for a certain period of time and then shut off.

[@ericcindycrowder7482]

A solution for displaying SOC % on GM vehicles is to use a smart phone based ODB scan device, like Torque Pro. I believe your colleague Kyle Conner does this with some of his range reviews. Also many EV makers, including GM, have two SOC values. Real SOC and Gauge SOC. Torque should be able to show both of these.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Yes, I know about those. I'm resisting using a scanner. I want to do my range and charging tests from the standpoint of the consumer. If people need to buy ODB readers and scan their cars to understand how they work then the OME has failed, IMO.

9:06 - see "Tommy Molo" from the lowly Bolt to the "top o' the food chain" Hummer you find NO numeric SOC on the dash so what that means is "get the signal". like I've mentioned previously, GM are in fact sending consumers a message that if we're referencing SOC as a metric for driving, then like the "cool kids" and Internet memes state WE'RE DOING IT WRONG. hint: the engineers know our behavior of referencing Battery Percentage (%) is simply a carryover from Smartphones, however Smartphones are NOT Automobiles (not even BEV ones) and they seek to BREAK us of that habit. keep in mind, it's still "Early Days" for the Auto Industry so once the EV market matures and the "operating intelligence" of consumers increases in relation to EV's (hopefully) they will likely add that feature in later models. of course something else to keep in mind is they just made a deal to sell 175,000 units into a rental fleet (ref: Hertz) over the next 5 years, so NO WAY IN HELL were they ever going to make the mistake of including that feature "natively" at this point. #NOTTHEIRFIRSTRODEO

1.6 mile per kWh? 😂 So in true Hummer fashion, it's an extremely wasteful vehicle. My Bolt EUV gets about 3.4 kWh at 70 MPH. So that's less than 50%. So just like gas-powered vehicles, in order for a bigger 4x4 truck to go the same distance as a smaller car, you need more the double the size of the gas tank.

[@NJturtlePower]

The Bolt is hardly anything to be proud of....compliance car vs performance based SUV/Truck...totally different animal. Main reason I got into EV's was for the performance and the Bolt has none of that. Tesla is KING or the performance/efficiency balance.

[@ShadLife]

@@NJturtlePower It's all about what you get for your money. For how much the Bolt EV and EUV costs, they are extremely impressive. I get wanting a performance car or even something like a Jeep or other similar off-roaders. But a Hummer is just a silly waste, even in EV form.

[@NJturtlePower]

@@ShadLife I agree with that last part for sure.... typical GM flop that they can barely build in any volumes anyways!

[@ShadLife]

@@NJturtlePower Not really a flop, but believe what you want.

[@normt430]

@@NJturtlePower we just drove up to U.P and seen three Hummer EV's on a trailer. Those are $110K a pop! How many do think they should be making?!

[@GregHassler]

That's something like 640 kWh / mile, or 53 MPGe.

[@jasoncapecod]

great stats...but it still takes to long to charge on a road trip.. they need to get charging down to 15 mins max..

[@Charlesbjtown]

This thing will be expensive to charge...... even at home.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Expensive? It would cost me $31 to charge at home. For $31 it will go over 340 miles at highway speeds, maybe 290-300 in the winter. What full size gas/diesel truck can to that? Plus go 0-60 in 3 seconds?

[@Charlesbjtown]

@@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney If you look closely, I never compared the truck to any other vehicle, combustion or ev. $31 is expensive to only cover that many miles, for an ev. The point is, that thing is terribly inefficient. With that said, if I had money to throw away, I'd have one of these.

[@tabbott429]

Gm has outdone themselves with the most ridiculous use of engineering capabilities ever. they couldve made 3 smaller more efficient EVS with that amount of materials but theyre not about making useful products to help people. Theyre banking on clowns looking for attention to overspend on a useless tank that has no real purpose on the road. I have zero respect for GM for their track record of lying so Im biased.

[@jrhackman7414]

This makes the money for the bolt,the least expensive Ev sold in US. Most affordable things are available because of the ridicules things wealthy people are willing to spend money on. They are doing it correctly, target the people with money first to pay for the new technology

But the cyber truck.... Wait... Is it even out yet? How many millions of dollars have they scammed from customers for a truck that hasn't even been fully designed?

This is the EV equivalent of a gas-guzzler. How long before the Government slaps an E-guzzler tax on it?

[@4literv6]

Gets prius level mpge, has similar off road ability as a ram trx, can out accelerate some Ferraris and Lamborghinis. If anything it should get a credit annually for displacing a bro dozer which would've used 800-1200+gallons of fuel each year instead. 😎

@@4literv6Mpge LOL. Publicly charge this and put gas in a Prius and tout its mpge. It's half the efficiency of most EVs. Big energy waster.

@@QuietStormX That's only turned on if you set a DC fast charge station in the NAV. If you're just driving from point A to point B you wouldn't need preconditioning. Battery Preconditioning wold likely shave 3-4 miles from the range test, so have at it.

[@mistermister2085]

The more i see videos of this beast, the more i think its the dumbest EV ever built. People paying $200K for these..well you know what they say about a fool and his money.

[@LearningFast]

The inefficiencies on the highway aren’t actually due to the weight of the Hummer. The fact that it is shaped like a house is why it is so inefficient at constant highway speeds. If you were doing this test at a constant 30 mph with no elevation change the efficiency would be much more reasonable. Nobody would ever drive this vehicle like that so it would be meaningless test.

[@bahamatodd]

Plus the large offroad tires and tall ride height and ground clearance.

[@technologyandsociety21C]

Clearly, the Hummer EV is a POS for posers.

[@charcoaldetox2139]

5 seconds worth of information, 24 minutes of needless talk.

[@Guitarocker493]

That's literally all range tests. You can skip to the end if you just want the numbers, or watch the whole thing for extra info.

[@phileasler5401]

You should ask for a refund then

[@charcoaldetox2139]

I like Tom. He could be more informative, interesting, and engaging. No, not all range tests videos are like this.
