Snow and COLD! Electric Truck Range Test with 2022 GMC Hummer EV

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Wondering how much draw the accessories or fan speed has on the battery? We cover all of that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rLgouEd7h3h9U

[@1diggers1]

Had another thought, Tim. How about EVs vs ICE at altitude? Would there be a noticeable difference there? I know the turbos in my Powerboost kick in alot more when I'm at altitude.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@1diggers1 I've driven some EVs in the Colorado Mountains and you are using a lot of energy, like you do in an ICE vehicle. I don't immediately see where one would use less energy over another one to get up a hill. Now, with the case of the Hummer EV, specifically, you are going to use more energy and that's just because it is really heavy. For most EVs that are actually efficient, I'd say it is a wash.

If you really... I mean REALLY want to know what cold weather can do to an EV (btw 17* above zero... Isn't cold, and I know that you know that) Come up here to Minnesota when its -20* I'll let you drive my 2015 Nissan Leaf. Then you'll know. I lose around 45% of my normal range, just because it's cold. Then if it's snowing, I'll lose a little more. If I have to go uphill, I'll lose a little more. If I cuss, or look at it the wrong way, I'll lose a little more. And then I'll lose a little more.... Just because. My car is the REAL test brother.

[@raytycker1656]

Nailed it. All batteries loose A LOT of efficiency in cold weather. It is something they will never be able to change.

[@windowman9665]

Wait so it only lost around 40 miles on a full charge roughly? That’s nothing. I guess that heat pump makes a huge difference wow. The ford lightning is losing up to 30-40% in some cases. This gives me great hope for the Silverado Ev. It’s better drag coefficient for sure then the hummer , weighs less, less motors.

thanks Tim. Can tell you really enjoy doing this sort of thing. Keep that spark inside of you. Your excitement about your job is a rare thing for most people. Question, do the schools close as soon as you get a little bit of snow? Or do they stay open, cause snow is no big deal in your environment? Here in PA they close the nite before, as soon as that 4 letter word is mentioned. Also, why you shut the video down as soon as you say "time to get down the road, have a little fun".... We want to see the fun you had, at least I do.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Snows were open today. We really need a big dump of snow for them to cancel and they only close a few times out of the year. I intended to do some off-roading after I shot the video, but got too excited to head home to edit and publish. Sorry about that.

[@jimharvard]

so Tim, obviously you like the electric HUMMER. that's nice. however, have you given much thought to the fact that you could buy TWO new 4x4 "normal" trucks for the price a person has to pay for that HUMMER? and you don't seem to be too "concerned" about having to stop somewhere to recharge. so your nice HUMMER is going to take AT LEAST 30 minutes to recharge at a "public" charger - and of course, that assumes the charging station you stop at when it's 17 degrees out is even working. if you need "gas" in your "gas powered" truck it will take you all of about 5 minutes to "fill up" and you will have MULTIPLE choices of "gas stations" to stop at. and then you "feel so safe" driving that 9000 lbs. 4x4 "on the ice and snow." that's nice also. i hope you realize that if you should happen to "slide off the road" and hit something with that truck, you are going to have to take out a mortgage on your house to pay to get it fixed. you do know that just replacing ONE broken tail light assembly in that truck can cost upwards to $7000.00!! and all that "electronic convenience" that you LOVE in the interior of that truck - what all those "bells and whistles" REALLY mean is that you have hundreds of opportunities that one of your "electronic systems" is going to break. if a HUMMER tail lite costs $7000, you can assume that replacing any of the "electronic modules" that run that "Space Shuttle" dash will be THOUSANDS of dollars. so Tim, it's nice that you really like this "electronic" truck. but i'll bet my next year's salary that LOTS of HUMMER buyers are going to get pretty tired of this truck once they start paying for repair or crash bills.

Off-road mode doesn't impact handling. It just changes throttle response and steering responsiveness. Not sure on how fast it cools off. Typically people ask the opposite question.

@Pickuptrucktalk I ask the question about insulation because having a in the cold possibly in the middle of nowhere if you break down will the heat still work and if not how long can you stay warm. Thanks for the response.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@Daniel-ko9un just an impossible question due to so many factors. If the EV has power, it will provide heat longer than a ICE vehicle since EVs use less energy to provide heat in the cabin than a gas or diesel engine. Insulation isn't really something automakers spend a lot of time on. Noise cancelation? Sure. Insulation, not really.

[@KlemensEV]

One thing you are not aware of. Battery capacity changes in the cold and 100% displayed is not 100% state of charge of the battery. My Ford Mach E EV 100% is 79% at 0F. So your data is not accurate unless you scan the battery and get the true State of Charge at both temperatures. $10 for CarScanner and an OBD dongle is worth it. You can report the 1.1 and 1.3 but the battery size may be substantially different in both conditions. That’s actually where your range goes……It changes with preheat conditions too.

[@kevinvanlohuizen2709]

The thing is charging is cheap now because it is not a big market share, but like any other energy source it will increase in cost substantially. Look at gas used to be super cheap, the massive energy grid and Infrastructure improvements will be costly. If you have good solar at home yes it will be cheap but other than that energy cost will be no different than gas.
