2022 GMC HUMMER EV PICKUP – FIRST DRIVE!

EV Channels Review

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup, specifically the "Edition 1" trim, is presented as a groundbreaking electric off-road vehicle. Reviewers highlight its immense power (1000 hp), all-wheel-drive capability, and surprisingly comfortable ride, even on rough terrain, attributing much of this to its advanced air suspension and rear-wheel steering. The interior, while not luxurious, is functional and designed for easy cleaning, featuring a unique aesthetic with "moon" accents and a robust button layout. Key features like the Google Maps integration, extensive camera system, and removable roof panels are praised for adding to the unique ownership experience. However, the Hummer EV's significant drawbacks are its abysmal energy efficiency, averaging around 0.7 miles per kilowatt-hour, and its massive 9,000-pound curb weight, which impacts range and charging time. Despite these issues, the reviewers conclude that the Hummer EV successfully delivers on its promise of being a cool, fun, and capable electric vehicle, making it easier to manage than other large trucks despite its size.
