HUMMER EV EDITION 1 PICKUP FULL IN-DEPTH DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup is presented as an "engineering marvel" and a "showcase of what you can do with electric." The reviewer highlights its immense power (1000 hp), massive 213 kWh battery, and impressive charging capabilities, including a unique 400V to 800V conversion for faster DC charging. Key features like CrabWalk and impressive rear-wheel steering are lauded for their novelty and maneuverability, making the large truck surprisingly easy to place. The reviewer praises the advanced air suspension with active damping and the highly configurable one-pedal driving system, offering multiple levels of regen. However, criticisms include significant wind and tire noise, a lack of steering feel, and the virtual rear locker's ineffectiveness off-road. The reviewer also notes that while the Edition 1 is an "experience" and a "super truck," its efficiency (0.9 miles/kWh in mixed driving) is poor, making it less practical for everyday use compared to other EVs. The reviewer expresses a desire for massaging seats and points out that the friction brakes are insufficient without regen, especially when the battery is highly charged.
