Working for an EV company I’ve learned that it’s most of the time 12 Volt Battery, the dealership didn’t put the vehicle on a battery tender or sometimes to reset the vehicle to make the car put into gear; so remove the negative battery terminal, if the battery jumper doesn’t work, and or remove one of the 60 Amp or 40 amp fuse after like five minutes of removing the negative terminal from the battery wait 10 minutes and then put the fuse back in, this will reset the vehicle OS and should resolve it, most of the time it’s not the large battery it’s always the 12 volt battery that takes a 💩 or very low battery as shown in this video the battery was at 11.3

GM is certainly not the first EV maker that I would try. I don't think I can afford a Tesla, but people who don't need long range seem fairly happy with them. I new some folks who had Chevy Volts, didn't keep them very long. Chevy Bolt, I see on the 'net, seems to have the worst reputation of all EVs. If I could afford a Hummer, I could afford a Tesla, and would. I see folks who do get Teslas seem to keep them. I know one travelling salesman who was offered a BMW company car to make sales calls. He showed his company how a Tesla would be cheaper, and had planned his route so that he could charge up while he was in his customer's offices. He has been doing his long distance sales calls with no problems (about twice the Tesla's expected range on one charge).

[@sleepydog223]

I know little about EVs. These are real questions. Is a little jump pack like that supposed to help an EV in any way? Did the owner charge the EV after 238 miles?

[@tractorsold1]

@@sleepydog223 Generally, accessories such as the lights, radio, and computers in an EV or a hybrid are 12 volt, just like other cars. The drive motors are higher voltage, but won't run without the 12 volt battery and computer, so jumping with a 12 volt pack can make a difference. During normal operation, it's easy to pick of 13 to 15 volts to charge the 12 volt battery. For example, my Prius drivetrain uses a 750 volt battery and has a 12 volt battery for the accessories. After several years of use, the 12 volt battery finally gave out just like other cars. I used the 12 volt system in my Subaru to jump my Prius. With the 12 volt jump, the engine computer was able to start the gas engine, (it's engine is started by one of the 750 volt motors). As long as the car was turned on, the charging system provided both 12 volt and 750 volt power. Replacing the 12 volt battery was a piece of cake.

Look like the dealership should have came and got that 238 Miles come on

[@coreyverisario6570]

Even the dealership of any company would ask a tow company to go get it. Lol. Let's use some common sense...

[@chrismadsen8690]

as a gm mechanic good luck for the tech that will get stuck working on it it looks like its a long way from the shop

[@jamesmyers9285]

It isn't just GM EVs, my neighbor's 100K plus Audi spent most of its two months on the hook. His response was good riddance!

[@leecowell8165]

Wow! I notice that this guy had several ICE vehicles for backup there and of course a nice charge plug as well. Yep if you wanna own EV you better have a backup plan. Sure even more show off toys its not like they're actually USING these things for anything useful.

[@nomdeplume6645]

Very educational, thank you!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Glad you’re enjoying the content!

[@truckerkiddorp5037]

They need to make a federal law for electric vehicles that there must be a way to put it in neutral in case of something like this happening

[@silvy7394]

You can put them in neutral if the 12v dies. For the Hummer, under the dash by your left foot, is a cable you pull. That pops the hood. Jump the 12v battery and you can put the car in neutral.

[@matt3316]

When I say, in neutral, that means no matter what the situation, whether it be a dead battery or codes being thrown all over the place

[@nickc8819]

Great job on that tow. Excellent video, I learned something as well.

[@tonymontes8840]

Such a waste of time on a Universal Scam......People fell hook, line and sinker for a pos. Amazing!

[@drewwho4512]

It was very interesting to watch how you were able to move this 9,000-pound behemoth that would otherwise not move. It pays to have the right tools and skills to manage all that weight in such an efficient manner. Well done, sir!

[@frankm7707]

The range of the hummer EV is 381 miles. So the owner got 62% of what his money worth minus depreciation. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Old-n8f]

Right! In the case of GM the range is the total expected life of the vehicle! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@gags730]

hahaha! That comment was epic! Really put it in perspective... hahah!

[@azmax623]

When I worked for a major car rental company (think Orange), we had a brand new Oldsmobile with engine problems. Under 50 miles and it had major clattering sounds. It didn't even make it through PMI yet. I don't know if it was a factory issue, or something happened in transport. Car went away and I'm guessing we got a new one to replace it.

[@mj-dd2fb]

Another great vid, Dustin. Take care of that cough!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You! I’m finally feeling better. The last few days have been rough.

[@SlwRpr]

Hey enjoy your towing videos, you do a good job. That Hummer suv was an eye opener to battery powered vehicles.

[@joannpriepke7938]

Good advice. Never waste the money on the new electric vehicles. According to this video, the vehicle can’t be moved while it is off? Can’t be put in neutral or pushed out of a confined space? Thanks but no thanks. I will continue with my internal combustion engine.

[@josephcorriveau9113]

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You!

[@josephcorriveau9113]

@@Towtruck_Dustin your very welcome 👍

[@michaeln4018]

This hummers spent more time on the back of transport trucks than on the roads

[@johnb9394]

The part where you roll the car back onto its wheels is how they handle all tows here in California..

[@80sCrazyCatDadNGunAddiction]

The life expectancy of a GM sure gets shorter and shorter.

[@johnballerino9172]

Well done.

[@velenceigabor1418]

I wonder what will be the final number of lug nuts needed to mount a wheel safely once we complete the progress in the future. Or it is only to occupy all the unemployed engineers to have them working on something completely useless and needless stuff?

[@WayneB27]

I thought he was giving you a hondo for all the extra trouble you had to go through to navigate that minefield (interlocking stone driveway, avoiding the new cars , not scratching his fancy painted garage floor etc etc but he was just handing over the key fob.):

[@LetsGoBrandon_]

In this episode: Rich people problems.

[@best-pro570]

U R RIGHT

[@CDTILL1471]

Nice job!!! Towing fee has to be 4xs the norm of towing a gas vehicle. What a project.

[@lashbera]

How can a GM salesman sell people on GM products and sleep at night. Also, why would a guy keep a fire starting EV in the garage.

[@toussantlbisso]

Lot of Work to move that thing ! Yous guys Charge Extra for ev tows ???

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

They generally pay pretty well.
