THE HUMMER EV IS A BEAST OF A TRUCK! FIRST DRIVE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X is presented as an "electric beast" with impressive capabilities, though not without its quirks. Reviewers highlight its immense size, powerful tri-motor setup (830 hp in this configuration), and advanced features like four-wheel steering with CrabWalk and the WTF (Watts to Freedom) launch mode. The removable roof panels and the overall imposing design are significant draws. However, the infotainment system is noted as being sluggish and dated, a surprising drawback for a vehicle at this price point. While the ride is comfortable and the vehicle handles well for its 9,000 lb weight, efficiency is poor, with a real-world consumption of 1.1 miles per kWh. The charging experience is also mixed, with limitations when using CCS chargers due to the vehicle's 400V architecture, preventing it from reaching its peak charge rates on some networks. Despite these criticisms, the Hummer EV is ultimately praised for its sheer coolness factor and unique presence, making it a vehicle purchased for its statement rather than its practicality or efficiency.
