What you hear is not wind noise but the electrons being sucked out of the battery.

[@noahman27]

Love these straightforward reviews.

[@Libertas_P77]

Picked up an Edition One last week with only 5k miles on it for $95k.. absolutely love this thing, it turns heads like nothing else too.

[@mikldude9376]

I would have left the spare in , it probably only makes a small difference, but still you test it as you would normally drive it .

[@starsundsternchen802]

The drag due to wind eliminates not in a loop because the drag is non linear! This applies also to velocity differences. If you go faster to compensate for a lower speed in order to keep a certain average speed it will not work that way. Because of the non linearity!! Keep that in mind!

[@lloyddobler5535]

Love this review, definitely would love to see a test with road tires

[@CraigMatsuura]

It would be interesting with all season or less aggressive tires at 70mph.

[@KyleBrightman]

Looking at Tire Rack they do not carry a single option in the factory size (305/55-22). Not sure when more options will be available since I’m sure no other vehicle uses such a ludicrous fitment.

[@2thdocdds]

I've got a Ed1 I put the 22" OEM rims on a more road oriented Wrangler AT and I'm getting close to 380 miles at 70mph at about 72F and no wind. Instrumented acceleration in WTF is 3.05sec to 60.

[@ben3989]

It’s horrible

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

Better than the Semi. Well done. IMHO.

[@Snerdles]

​​@@Discoducky73 My home energy is $0.12 per kwh, so 220kwh would be 27 bucks. Fast chargers are expensive for sure, but even then it's usually under $0.40 which would make it 88 bucks. If you compare to a 12mpg H2 then to go 300miles would be takes 25 gallons of fuel which at 4 bucks a gallon is 100 bucks . . . All that though, and I doubt anyone buying a Hummer is caring about the efficiency and savings on milage.

You can't rag on the cars too much or they'll stop giving you press cars. Aside from Tesla which doesn't do press cars hence why reviews of their cars tend to be on average more truthful.

I like the big Bolt layout. Push button start no pop out door handles and the Regen paddle. Plus it has the same turn circle SUV=EV, Pickup=EUV.

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

318.3 miles / 213.3 kWh = 1.49 mi/kWh Not sure why the display rounds this down to 1.4 mi/kWh. It's really closer to 1.5

[@merbu]

Last digit you mentioned probably is hidden by programming because no one ever really will need it except you 😂 so it shows only the digits before that. Doesn't matter if it closer to next one or the previous, it's about programming :)

[@mcunha81]

I'm guess about 60% of the cost is battery pack.

It's a lot less than that, probably around 25k for the pack, so less than 25%.

@@tdpiersonavoca I don’t see why they would only be limited to the new L3 chargers but fair enough. I’ve learned as an EV and petrol household for the last half decade to use them based on their strengths. And for roadtrips, petrol is just a lot better, even with the supercharger network. I’m hoping for a major battery technology breakthrough, we need one for BEV’s to achieve their potential.

Can’t afford it but if I could I would get a Chevy EV pickup! It has a 450 mile range.

[@keithmcdonnell4485]

So, about 310 miles at 70 mph? If it can't maintain 70 mph, then the 70 mph range test is done... also, if cruise control shuts off at 5%, then my goal would be to never go below 5%... so when cruise shut off you were at 307 miles, so real world you have an effective 70 mph range of 305 miles.

[@dustup2249]

Good sample. Looks like GMC was not embellishing when it states a 314 mile range.

[@sprinkle61]

LOL @ no spare tire. What will you do if you get a flat ? This is not a normal driving condition, unless you never change tires, and always call for help. Why don't you take the bumpers off as well, I mean, you don't REALLY need them, unless something happens... It really makes sense to drive the car as it comes from the factory. Many new cars DON'T have a spare out the dealership, and if that is the case, then NP, but I would normally drive with a spare, it just makes logical sense.

[@FrancoThrill]

Hummer it's about everything military not for ordinary eco friendly. It's about power 🔋 off road capability and dominance.

[@ronolsberg1468]

My 3800 pound 2018 Tesla Model 3 probably gets appox 3 miles/KWH at 70MPH, so for a 9000 pound not very aerodynamic vehicle 1.4 miles/KWH is fairly impressive. Next time you might want to mirror your range test with your 2019 Model 3. Great video thanks!

[@roboticvenom1935]

and the hummer EV has ALL TERRAIN tires on it.. that's killing range

Gm is likely selling the hummer as a break even or total loss as a halo car. I’m sure they’ll eventually raise prices or have some economies of scale to make it profitable. It’s likely just a test model. No one can actually buy them atm.

[@Shy_Knee_Side_Up]

Top Speed is 105MPH. Which is incredibly low, even for such a large vehicle. I mean at least make it 120MPH so that your highway cruising speed of 80-85MPH isn't nearly maxing out your over priced EUV. I heard the top speed is set so low because of the tremendous 9,000 lbs. weight and limiting the speed to prevent tire blow out. So perhaps with better tire compound that can increase? I am sure it has the capability to go faster. Just a matter of software update or a hack.

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

Most vehicles have a speed governor set to whatever the factory tires speed ratings are. Off road and/or truck tires typically don't have high speed ratings. Most trucks I have driven have all had governors that limit top speed somewhere around 85-95 MPH depending on tires. My Duramax (Silverado 2500) governor was factory set at 95MPH and my Chevy Kodiak 5500 was factory set to 85 MPH. My Jeep Grand Cherokee (5.7L Hemi V8) was limited to 106 MPH if I recall.

While I love my F150 Lightning there are some things I'd like to see. One would also be handy on a Rivian or even a Hummer EV, the "eco" mode option that would say switch to 2-wheel drive instead of all 4 (so, in Ford's case only powering 1 motor instead of 2), but it could use the non-propelling motor to regenerate while braking. I think that could really extend range in situations when one isn't towing/hauling or driving for sport performance or off-roading.
