THE 2022 GMC HUMMER EV IS A CRAZY ALL-ELECTRIC LIFESTYLE PICKUP TRUCK

EV Channels Review

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a return to form for the iconic brand, embracing its 'over-the-top' persona with an all-electric powertrain. The reviewer highlights its extreme acceleration, particularly the "WTF" launch control achieving 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.37 seconds, and an impressive real-world range of 340-350 miles, exceeding GMC's estimate. The vehicle's off-road capabilities, adjustable air suspension offering up to 16 inches of ground clearance, and unique features like 'Crab Walk' are noted as significant positives. However, the review points out substantial drawbacks, including a surprisingly low 7,500-pound towing capacity, abysmal efficiency (averaging 1.5 miles per kWh), and a disappointing interior quality with cheap-feeling materials and build quality issues like creaks and rattles, which detract from its six-figure price tag. Despite these flaws, the Hummer EV's sheer presence, technological advancements, and attention-grabbing nature solidify its status as an 'electric super truck'.
