YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO CHARGE THE HUMMER EV!

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the cost of charging the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, highlighting its extreme energy consumption. The reviewer notes the vehicle's massive battery pack (around 212-250 kWh) and low efficiency (averaging 1.1 miles/kWh). A key takeaway is the significant cost variation depending on the charging method and pricing structure. Charging from zero to 100% at a standard Electrify America pay-as-you-go rate exceeded $100, a first for a production EV passenger vehicle. However, utilizing the EA Pass Plus membership significantly reduces this cost to around $70-$73. The reviewer also explores charging at a national average rate (13 cents/kWh), costing approximately $29, and a local Colorado rate (16 cents/kWh), costing about $16. The video emphasizes that charging from zero to full is not recommended due to battery stress and time, suggesting charging to sufficient levels at stations. The reviewer also notes the complimentary charging station used for the test is no longer free, likely due to the Hummer's high consumption.
