HUMMER EV: Ultium Charging Options Explained

How long does it take to charge? That's pretty much the universal question that people ask when they see us behind the wheel of our GMC HUMMER EV. But the answer to that question is ...well... complicated! Zane goes over the four options and how many miles per hour of range(MoRPH) each one gives you.

Very well explained! We just bought a Hummer SUV and it explains a lot.

Really Nice Job Zane. I know this was about GMC Ultium platform trucks only - but is might be good to note that EV cars charge much faster per mile (5 miles/hour on 110 and 30/hr on the Nema 14-50) as context, for those still new to EV charging in general...

[@GM-Trucks]

Thank you. You are totally correct- most EV's will charge much faster than the 24-module Ultium Batteries that are found in the HUMMER EV. Smaller batteries = quicker charging and greater MoRPH added. The HUMMER and future Silverado EV / Sierra EV carry absolutely beast size batteries that are not representative of most EVs.

Really good explanation & video.

I just ordered a Hummer EV, but I have a tesla stage 2 charger at home. Any recommendation as to where I can purchase an adapter for my Hummer to charge with my tesla home charger?

[@sandrabien7769]

Just bought mine SUV Loving It❤️

[@nicolaemates]

Nice car and nice video. I will be installing a connector for this car soon. I'm curious what connector my customer chose for it. But most garages do not come with a NEMA 14-50 preinstalled. I know, I'm an electrician.

Does fast charging hurt your batteries or hurt the amount of times you can recharge your batteries?

[@Mladjasmilic]

6:05 In Europe we have 3 phase power. In my country we have 230V 16A 3 phase plug in every house. You can push 11kW (but better to limit to 9kW) at any home. And it uses 5x2.5mm cable, which is fairly thin. So it is mobile and it can push 11kW.

[@vladimus9749]

Wow, you have 3 phase plug-in outlets in your home? What is outlet type/standard? I would love to see one.

[@Mladjasmilic]

@@vladimus9749 Google 'Yugoslav 3 phase'. The issue is that Neutral can overload if there is no balanced 3 phase load. Designed for 3 phase motors, and neutral was most auxialry for control relay. Irony is, it is mostly used for electric cookers, as they can be up to 9kW. There was Perilex used in Scandinavia. And Swiss have their system, where 3 phase socket can be used for both 3 phase and single phase devices.

What brand/maker is your hardwired 240 volt charger that delivers 11.5 kw for the 2024 Hummer?

[@mcjogom]

👍💖👍Thank you🎉

[@texasgogetter04]

what brand is that hardwired system

[@versahomes]

Would love to know

[@creightonwellsschs7635]

didn't mention the 19.5 kw which is really made for the hummer

[@G-J-92]

Does a faster charger reduce the life of the battery?

[@cskiles318]

Will the hummer fit in a regular garage?

[@GM-Trucks]

Yes, it will. We put ours in a standard garage every night

[@slopedarmor]

from the thumbnail i thought u was kyle from outofspecreviews haha ill take a cybertruck jk, ill actually keep riding my late grandfathers bike cuz im poor

[@cskiles318]

Very complicated. I bet on 5 years this will be laughed at same as so many fast changes in computer and phones. I think Il wait a few years. Pretty vehicles

[@kemalalemdar646]

Get a fast charge at your house period

[@kervensferdinand669]

If you put this Hummer ev on Turo I will definitely rent it from you

[@GM-Trucks]

How much would you pay for a day?

[@user-rq1im4kz1m]

Way Way to long for the amount of information given, please get to the info and stop repeating the same thing.

[@captaindunsell8568]

Add up the hours wasted on waiting for a charge…. Not very lifestyle enticing especially when the one thing we always run out of … is time

[@nicolaemates]

That's what I was thinking at first, but honestly, you will most likely waste less time charging an EV than you will waste going and fueling a gas car at a gas station. Almost always I have to go out of my way to fill up the tank. And if I stop at best priced gas station, will wait in line as well. An EV would be charged every day, overnight while you are in the comfort of your home. (excluding road trips) . Just my two cents, but who am I to comment? I don't own an EV (yet).

[@vladimus9749]

​@@nicolaematesAgreed, all depends on your lifestyle. If you will charge at home 99% of the time, you're saving significant time and money compared to going to gas stations in a traditional car. If you regularly need to go to fast chargers, EVs aren't ready for you yet as you'd end up wasting way more time (and likely money since fast charging is very expensive). It requires a bit of planning and thought which is typical for early-adopting any new technology.

Hello. I own a Litheli Eclair 1000. Will it charge my Hummer EV SUV? Thank you.
