HUMMER EV OFF-ROADING BIG BEAR HOLCOMB VALLEY 3N16

EV Channels Review

The reviewer takes their GMC Hummer EV SUV on its inaugural off-road excursion on the Holcomb Valley 3N16 trail in Big Bear, California, alongside a convoy of other electric vehicles including Cybertrucks and Rivians. The Hummer EV SUV demonstrated significant off-road capability, with the reviewer highlighting the effectiveness of its off-road settings and the benefit of slow-speed driving and regenerative braking in conserving battery life. A notable incident involved a punctured front passenger tire, which was successfully replaced using the vehicle's full-size spare, showcasing preparedness for such challenges. The reviewer also praised the Hummer EV's inclusion of Apple CarPlay, which proved invaluable for navigation with the OnX Off-Road app, a feature they noted as a distinct advantage over the Cybertruck. Despite the tire issue, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive, with the reviewer concluding that the Hummer EV SUV is highly capable off-road. The trip covered 41 miles with an initial efficiency of 1 mile per kWh, which improved to 2.1 miles per kWh after descending the mountain, using approximately 30% of the battery from a full charge.
