LIVING WITH A $107,000 GMC HUMMER EV SUV

EV Channels Review

The GMC Hummer EV SUV is presented as an "over-the-top," "ridiculous," and "hilariously excessive" electric super SUV, designed for drama rather than practicality. The reviewer highlights its immense size, aggressive styling, and unique features like "Watts to Freedom" and "Crabwalk" as key selling points, emphasizing its "Halo product" status. While acknowledging its impressive off-road capabilities, particularly with the extreme off-road package, and the convenience of Super Cruise, the review is heavily critical of its abysmal efficiency, averaging around 1.2 miles per kWh on the highway, leading to significant charging costs (over $200 for a 300-mile trip) and the need for multiple charging stops. A major drawback encountered was a critical vehicle fault leading to a "charge port failed" error, necessitating a vehicle swap. Despite its impracticality and high cost, the reviewer concludes that for those seeking "drama" and a "fun choice" over a "responsible" one, the Hummer EV delivers an unforgettable, albeit expensive, experience.
