EV Channels Review

This episode of Battery Bargains tackles a viewer's query about replacing a GMC 2500HD Duramax with a used Hummer EV 3X pickup. The hosts acknowledge the viewer's GM employment and potential for free workplace charging. While the Hummer EV is deemed a viable option, especially with the available free charging, the hosts express concerns about its efficiency, particularly in cold Michigan weather, noting a potential drop to 1 mile per kWh. They calculate that charging might take the full shift length on a 6kW charger. As an alternative, they strongly recommend the GMC Sierra EV Denali, highlighting its superior efficiency (nearly double), longer range, and practicality, despite being slightly more expensive. The free workplace charging is identified as a significant cost-saving factor that makes either option financially feasible for the viewer. The discussion also touches upon the Hummer EV's off-road capabilities and fun factor, contrasting it with the Sierra EV's more practical nature. Ultimately, the Sierra EV Denali is presented as the more sensible, efficient, and practical choice for the viewer's needs.
