The New GMC Hummer EV Destroys All Other EV Charging Speeds By THIS Much!

[@raemill4089]

I've never seen 300kw on a charger, but my Taycan got up to 270kw. It charged from 20% - 70% in 12 minutes at that rate. Hummer is just crazy inefficient and huge AF battery compared to every other EV out there, but it's a Hummer, so what do you expect? All good!

I heard the Lucid can hit 300 kW, however briefly. The Hummer needs this charging speed with its sky high consumption. All EV trucks should support 250 kW so you can get decent recharge rate when traveling at highway speeds or towing.

Agree. 250kw minimal sustained or its not practical for towing. Towing can consume 1kwh per KM or per mile. So 200kwh battery to 80% is 160km of range for 40 minutes of charging.

At first I was considering one of these, but this just sounds totally impractical. You have to locate one of these stations that's convenient for you, then you have to kill probably close to 2 hours had they been near empty and filled up completely, then you're still paying probably 100 bucks. On top of that, once they get the population on EVs, they'll crank up the charging cost to equal what you would have paid in gas anyway. This would probably take several days to charge at home.

Roman & Tommy, Next time I wonder what would happen if you grabbed the charger next to it and plugged it in once the original charger slowed down.

This might be a way to get charged faster by switching chargers every 15-20 mins. While this is better still waiting an hour to get 212 miles miles of range doesn’t compare to a 5 min fill up which adds 500 miles of range on an IC truck.

You guys had me crunching numbers on this one. I don’t know what gas is price for you’re at, but around here right now this hummer would be getting around 10 1/2 miles to the gallon, on a strictly economic basis. Check my math tell me if I’m missing something: 212 miles of range at an estimated $60. Gas around here is +/- 3 dollars per gallon. That same $60 would purchase 20 gallons of gas. Dividing 212 miles by 20 gallons gives an equivalent of 10.6 miles per gallon. Seems like a hummer to me.

With small electric RC vehicles the charging rule of thumb is to charge at a rate that matches the MilliAmpHour MAH capacity of the battery. So a larger battery can charge faster basically. For example, a 700 MAH battery should charge at .7 amp and a 7000MAH battery should charge at 7amps. With the Hummer EV having the biggest battery on the market I’m not surprised it also charges the fastest with that in mind.

[@supergeek02468]

Yep, that’s the C rating, or capacity per hour. Even at 300kw they’re only charging at 1.4 C. Model 3 maxes out around 2.5 C when it’s under 15%

[@jghall00]

You also have to consider paying k voltage and cooling. When I did RC, my version of cooling was a fan. These vehicles are more sophisticated. And higher voltage means faster charging without increasing current, which builds heat.

[@georgeh6856]

If the slowdown in charge rate is due to heat, then this is kind of like laptop computers which have an amazingly fast CPU/GPU but then throttle back the speed right away because their thermal design cannot dissipate the heat fast enough. It would be better to have a somewhat slower max charge rate which could be extended for a much longer period of time.

Charging speed testing/rating should be benchmarked on TIME to MILES ADDED.

Using "kWhs added" will benefit vehicles with inefficient motors/mass like that Hummer, iPace, and Etron. They may be able to add 50 kWhs of energy at a fast pace, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to make it to the charger 150 miles down the road. The only* situation where charging speed is important is the intermediate stops when travelling long distances.

So, in 10 minutes you added the equivalent of maybe 3 1/2 gallons of gas?

Have this truck... takes me a couple hours to get to 80% on the supercharger evgo. At home... LOL a week to fully charge!!!! 1 Mile per hour. Really hoping other chargers are...faster... and its not my truck!! Love your very informative videos!!! :))

[@Team_Trade_Down]

How long would it take to charge at home on a level 2 charger from 20%-80%?

[@luke9020]

forever

[@matthewgrear3260]

let’s do it again but get an actual dollar total

[@ChargingtheRoad]

I saw a prototype version of the Hummer EV while I charging my Mach-e in Toronto. Man, that thing is huge! I'm very surprised how much Hummer EV can pull in per kw! wow!

[@Columbus1492]

I saw 1 in Harrisburg PA on 4th of July. Ikr it seems even bigger than the old hummers

[@off-roadingcars]

Another great video, I can watch you guys all day long

1h is a lot... time is money.

[@frankcoffey]

At least the display didn’t read “one car at a time please”😂

That's yet another real nice, super huge EV 4 door family truckster perfect for well paid Contractors with a crew and/or kids to carry around. Simple, working men like me with a small garage are ready for Detroit, or Wentzville, to make a simple, inexpensive 2 door, 3 passenger EV pickup that will fit into a small garage and tight budget. A solar bed cover and V2X charging would be nice, too.

3:15 I believe plug and charge should be active on the HUMMER EV; it's been working flawlessly on my Chevy Bolt EV for several months. Either way, I'm not sure that paying with a credit card is a valid price. It should be considered the worst-case-scenario pricing.

[@jamesengland7461]

So... .33-.43 @ 141kwh is $45-$60! For 212 miles, that's 19-28 cents per mile, but at $4-$5 per gallon, that's only... 17 to 20mpg, which is no better than most modern half ton pickups. Yay. And an hour to charge to drive 3 hours.

[@ap31996]

That's assuming you use public charging everyday. Daily DC charging ruins the battery capacity and quality long term. A lot of power companies offer reduced electricity costs at night ranging for residential use ranging from $0.02kwh to $0.07kwh. Regardless, the HUMMER EV is still extremely inefficient.

[@jamesengland7461]

@@ap31996 of course. It's just so bad...

[@sprockkets]

Was there any charging animation on the headlamps?

[@geraldkoth654]

800 V for charging since everything is stationary and under dual control from the vehicle and the charger. 400 V running for a tiny bit better safety. 110 in your house for most things you could hold. I had hold of 110 with bare feet and it you cannot open your hand but you can walk backwards to pull the plug. Not a real danger. 220 for things you really cannot get at like stoves, dryers, water heaters etc. 220 could be bad for many people. 440 for industrial use. Dad got hold of 440 working an industrial site as you cannot shut down a factory. Made him jump off the ladder. No other harm. Definitely not suggested. 24 volts is considered safe and is used for control circuits, doorbells etc. For open connections any fool can grab hold of like under hood in a real vehicle, 12 volts is used.

Those Rode mics are absolutely absurd to me 😂👌🏻 Great review as always though 😂👌🏻

Ok on the fluctuation of the amperage delivered, this is a mix of investigation and speculation so grab your salt shaker, but I would imagine Tommy is right about the temperature being the regulator. It appears that information such as the battery, cable, and internal components of the charging station temperatures, CAN be monitored and, presumably, the charging rate varied to cool things down if it overcomes a certain threshold. AND he's right about Popeye's being the choice as well ;-)

Seems like we are taking a step back instead of forward, in todays fast paced world this takes to much time.
