1,000HP HUMMER EV EDITION 1 PICKUP - LIVING WITH THE 9,000LBS BEAST (POV BINAURAL AUDIO)

EV Channels Review

The reviewer finds the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 pickup to be a charming and fun, albeit ridiculously overkill, vehicle to live with. Despite its immense 9,000lb weight and inefficiency (1.6 miles/kWh), the reviewer praises its striking appearance, the novelty of its removable roof panels, and the surprisingly practical features like the tailgate's Kicker sound system and functional electric tonneau cover. The rear-wheel steering is highlighted as a standout feature, making the massive truck exceptionally maneuverable, even more so than some luxury sedans. The "Watts to Freedom" (WTF) mode for 0-60 launches is described as a "silly party trick" that is nonetheless impressive and fun. Super Cruise is lauded for its hands-free driving capabilities and auto lane changes, significantly easing long road trips. While acknowledging its impracticality and inefficiency, the reviewer argues that such vehicles are necessary for a diverse electric future and ultimately prefers it over traditional large trucks like the Silverado ZR2, finding it more enjoyable and easier to drive in traffic.
