HUMMER EV HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! OVER 200KWH OF BATTERIES DRIVEN FROM FULL TO DEAD

EV Channels Review

In this comprehensive highway range test, the GMC Hummer EV 3X, equipped with the off-road package and its massive 215 kWh battery, was pushed to its limits. The reviewer found the vehicle's sheer size and power to be impressive, noting the significant torque and horsepower. However, the Hummer EV's efficiency is its Achilles' heel, with the test yielding a final highway range of 323 miles (328 miles including the final 5 miles it could no longer maintain 70 mph) at an average of 1.4 miles per kWh. This figure, while substantial due to the enormous battery, falls short of expectations given the vehicle's energy consumption, especially when compared to more efficient EVs. The reviewer highlighted Super Cruise as a positive, praising its less intrusive nature compared to Tesla's FSD, though noting minor issues with turn signal auto-cancellation. Road and wind noise were deemed acceptable but not class-leading. A significant portion of the video detailed the challenges of running the battery completely dead, including the need for a physical battery disconnect and the slow initial charging speeds. Ultimately, while the Hummer EV offers a unique, albeit inefficient, experience, its practicality for long-distance road trips is questionable due to its energy demands.
