HUMMER EV PICKUP 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup undergoes a 70 MPH highway range test, revealing impressive endurance despite its inherent inefficiency. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's "ludicrousness" and "celebration of freedom," noting its high cost but also its substantial value for the "weight to dollar ratio." While acknowledging its poor efficiency (averaging 1.4 miles per kWh), the massive 250 kWh battery pack delivers a real-world highway range of 218.7 miles, exceeding initial predictions and surpassing the Rivian and F-150 Lightning tested previously. The reviewer praises the comfortable ride, spacious interior, and advanced Super Cruise driver-assistance system, though notes the limitations of its reliance on HD mapping. Charging speeds were found to be problematic with the tested chargers, but the vehicle is capable of very fast charging (over 360 kW observed in other tests). Ultimately, the Hummer EV Edition 1 proves to be a capable, albeit inefficient, electric truck with a surprisingly strong highway range, especially considering its 35-inch all-terrain tires.
