I like how they brought back the monster hummer in the name of “environmentally friendly electricity” 😂

[@orange_turtle3412]

The hummer name used to by synonymous with pathetically low range and emissions that would put a coal power plant to shame. Now we have a new hummer with zero emissions and a range on par with some of the most fuel efficient gas vehicles on the market.

[@th5841]

@@orange_turtle3412Zero emission when build? Zero emission from the power plant generating the electric power needed to move 9000 lbs? And to produce 1000hp? Zero emission for the increased amount of tear of the infrastructure, the roads, such a heavy vehicle creates? Zero emission for the increses road space it needs for driving and parking? And what about this being a pedestrian killer? Or a danger to people driving sensible sized cars?

[@scubafrost2007]

Were you at the trumbull mall on thursday the 17th. I thought I saw your truck near the chargers> was there wit my EV6 charging at the 350kw at 245 kw. I have fund trumbull and stratford to be pretty good with charging. I live in southbury CT and work at Ingersoll automotive. would love to see more chargers on our side of the state. We put some huge dc fast chargers at work as well.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Really weird it has auto hands free driving but in a 55 mph zone it was going all over the place from 59 mph to 76 mph. Here, you get pulled over driving even 1 mph over the speed limit. Same when I lived / worked in PA and KS.

[@kdubb81]

That hummer sounds good,it's relaxing to hear. All EVs should have a sound like that. It isn't much cheaper to change than it is to tank up a civic. Might as well get a gas SUV for half the price, lol, but it is cool.

[@G-Rated]

“Might as well”? It’s not a chore owning a Hummer EV it’s a treat. Nobody owns a Hummer because they need it, it’s something you *want.* I don’t think y’all fully understand the concept of a Supertruck. This purchase makes a statement socially and it is money spent for comfort, fun & enjoyment.

I understand doing the 80% on the day to day driving to protect the battery. But when you take trips I would think you should do 100% just in case. Also can you carry a small generator with a 30 amp plug on long trips to charge?

[@TundeEszlari]

Amazing video.

[@KeeperOfTheSevenKeys.]

As the environmentalist: Mining for batteries are a hell of a lot better than the drilling and burning of oil, especially since that material is lifetime of the vehicle not one week of fuel. Ideal? no but we gotta work with realities, at least improvements/shift to LFP packs will reduce material per pack/ eliminate cobalt and nickel.

[@Dang00TheAlienIAmTheRealOne]

You do realise that we have to burn coal to charge this death machine. 😐

[@KeeperOfTheSevenKeys.]

@@Dang00TheAlienIAmTheRealOne Right because solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal and tidal all don't exist or anything. Also what if I told you that EV's charged on coal still pollute less than ICE due to the higher efficiency of both the car and power plants?

[@bengoehring8283]

Out of curiosity, why were you using the 150 kw chargers? The Hummer EV is one of the few vehicles that can utilize the 350 KW electrify america chargers.

[@krayziecorvette1896]

Very attractive vehicle! I want one!

[@rpvitiello]

That hummer is illegal to drive on parkways in the NYC tri state area. Its over the maximum weight limit. These new things are so ridiculously big they are in the size and weight range some states consider commercial vehicles.

[@ryanthompson3737]

...let's not go down that route when many countries have weight limits 1.5 - 2x as high because they ACTUALLY maintain their infrastructure. Even in Canada, just across the border, the weight limit is 50,000 lbs higher than the US. Here's the funny part... you guys max out at 80,000lbs, but in Canada you can drive on our roads and then somehow fit 5 of these hummer EVs IN your trailer and still be underweight by 5,000lbs. It's not a problem with the car, it's literally a poor infrastructure problem. You guys dump too much into your defense and military and NOTHING into your own people and then wonder why your country is falling apart.

[@ryanthompson3737]

Also you are completely lying and purposely leaving out context. According to New York law, a NON-COMMERCIAL vehicle is 26,000lbs or below. This hummer is only around 10,000lbs which means you can 2.5x that trucks weight and still be considered a passenger vehicle and not a commercial vehicle.

being a more expensive car because it's electric and paying $50 to recharge, is it cheaper than a regular car, something I would pay $30-$40 to fill up.(not necessarily a regular Hummer)?

[@OnceUponaTimeIn-qp9sx]

Im always curios what kind of maintenance does it go thru?

[@unixsuperuser]

I like how you mentioned Electricity is NOT free. People need to weigh costs to charge VS filling up with diesel fuel or gasoline. This was barely cheaper than filling up my Ram 2500 with a Cummins but I get 600 miles of range on the highway with my Cummins. My Ram weighs 8,000lbs, when I get 600 miles to range I am not towing, and I am going on long road trips.

[@KAZ109]

@unixsuperuser….. that’s not even close to the truth . My Raptor cost $150 to fill up, my M3 cost $70 to fill up, my S7 cost $90 to fill up….hell my sons 2022 Civic cost $45 ….. price per “fill up “ HEAVILY favors the EV the difference is entry price .

[@tacticalambitionspodcast]

So let me get this straight… You have to drive slower on the highway so you don’t drain your battery too fast? You spend money on food/shopping while your truck charges for 40+ mins (which doesn’t even get you to full) and still pay $50? Charging stations aren’t everywhere and the ones that are out there have only 1-2 working machines? Did I miss anything?

[@1ander999]

Is it just me but like you are traveling straight but have to keep your steering wheel slightly to the left? See 5:30. Might need some aligning done

[@EVMANVSGAS]

Sure will be nice when you can use Tesla Superchargers. Then you can buy a Cybertruck as well to match :) Also, why haven't you put in a wall charger at your house? Where are the 300Kw electrify America stations or can't the hummer take it that hard?
