WE TRIED - BUT THE 2022 HUMMER EV IS ABOUT AS FAR FROM ECO AS YOU CAN GET.

EV Channels Review

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV is presented as an "exercise in excess" and a "flagship attempt" rather than a practical or efficient electric vehicle. While acknowledging its impressive engineering feat, particularly its power and alleged off-road capabilities, the review highlights significant drawbacks. The vehicle is criticized for its abysmal energy efficiency, with real-world consumption as low as 1.2 miles per kilowatt-hour, making it far less efficient than even other large electric trucks. The cabin noise on the freeway is described as "terrible" and "raucous," even with the roof panels on. The reviewer also notes a lack of driver feedback, making it difficult to gauge the vehicle's position, and expresses concern over its safety implications due to its sheer size and weight. While the "What the Freedom" mode offers extreme acceleration, it's deemed a "pointless maneuver" and potentially damaging. The review concludes that the Hummer EV is not a vehicle for the environmentally conscious or those seeking practicality, but rather a status symbol or an "influencer's dream," questioning its place in a market short on affordable, efficient EVs.
