After Breaking Down, Did Anything Else Break On My New Hummer EV? | One Month Update 

You bet! Cold winter testing is coming up soon.

@@TFLtruck Looking forward to it, I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

L2 will keep the battery conditioned. Not sure it's reasonable to expect someone buying a 100K+ vehicle to not have a place to charge it at home. I can see it not fitting in a garage, but L2 is a no-brainer.

@@TFLtruck lol this things gonna cost 115,000 to repair once everything starts breaking on it lmao

@@jghall00 I have an $80k Lightning and a $1.5 million dollar house in the middle of San Francisco. It might shock you to know that I didn't think through what it would take to charge a giant truck. About the only thing going in my garage is a Nissan Leaf. 🤣

I mean also anyone who needs to go off road and carry the whole familty.

mere mortals with silverado EVs? Lets bring that down a notch lol Us regular mortals can barely get a corolla

@@GreenBlueWalkthrough any 4 door pickup truck can carry a minimum of 5 people, sometimes 6 if it has a fold down centre centre column.

@@vincefairleigh6899 Why do suburban's exist then?

@@GreenBlueWalkthrough I’m just stating that one can bring the whole family in a pickup truck too, with the suburban it any suv your luggage stays dry in a suv s opposed to a pickup truck, although one can get a canopy 😎

That's literally any first year vehicle.

@@backwoodstherapy Any year GM product lol.

I have 120k on my Bolt, just did my first maintenance/repair, replaced a leaking seal on the drive unit, $12 part and my local shop did it in 15 minutes. I figured I'd change the drive unit fluid as it had 120k on it. The fluid was perfect, the rest of the car is perfect, I still have 8 years and 80 k warranty on the new battery upgrade GM just put in for free. No alternator, starter, sensors, exhaust, etc. Once my warranty is up I can easily replace charger, controller, etc myself, they're just boxes.

Just like the H2? What are you talking about, the H2 was the ultimate 2000's upper middle class suburban soccer van and mall crawler. Most of them got daily driven to hundreds of thousands of miles, not sat in collector garages.

@@cup_and_cone that was the H3 not the H2.

@@cup_and_cone the H2s got driven hard after they depreciated. Otherwise, they were mainly on music videos, movies, and car shows.

@@cup_and_cone we definitely drove our h2 hard as hell and had it not been for a drunk driver behind the wheel, it probably still would have been here today

@@chrisballengee5746 H3 was the off-to-college vehicle for rich sorority chicks.

Exactly. I'm sure there's something in the fine print in the owners manual saying its not covered in the warranty.

Thing will be money pit from birth till death bro check out the monthly payment

New engine in gas motor is how much. Wait to you buy a used Tesla or this thing and you have to buy a replacement $40,000 battery

They won't keep it that long, another 2 months tops, and then on to something else.

@@TheAnnoyingBoss that's GM alright!

Well, believe it or not, rivian does 8 years and 175000 mile warranty on the rivian r1t

Quadrasteer couldn't crab, though. It's rear articulation wasn't that much, mostly just a helper for sharp 90 degree turns into parking spots or sharp u-turns.

@@cup_and_cone I have heard of people hacking the system so they could. But yeah, it wasn't ever a factory option to really control the rear aside from turn assist.

we love ours! 2003...1500HD

@@cup_and_cone that is not true! At highway speed, the old quadrasteer system would crane walk on the highway which was amazingly smooth for lane changes!

@@SuzukiKid400 the 4ws cars in the 80s did the same thing-countersteer at low speed for tight turns, steer in the same direction a highway speeds for stability.

Bravo! Hummer H2 Was and still big DB rig.

Owning a technical marvel does not make you a DB. Your attitude after you buy it does. Lots of people with Bimmers, lifted trucks, super cars, and shitty civics are DBs. Some people just like new tech. America is a free country, and if there are buyers, who are you to say what can and cannot be offered for sale?

@@SuzukiKid400 for all I care so long as earned legally, people can pile their money on their front yard and set it on fire. I never said that people are not free to buy the Hummer, only made an anecdotal observation that these types of flashy, extravagant, overbuilt and impractical purchases tend to be made by DBs trying to show everyone else that they have more money than sense.

This EV is very Green. Thank you for helping with CC....

@@SuzukiKid400 you are wrong... The Hummer EV is still MASSIVE look at me DB "SUV". It's extremely overpriced and overpriced. It's an excessive clown car.

Who's buying a $115k truck without installing a level two charger?

@@CueBeanKa Level 2 is 16-20 miles per hour. 8 hours for 140-150 miles. That is what I get at home. Charge about 3 x per week.

It’s not, the price if 212kw of battery which is 3 tesla y batteries is al least 50k

Simple math says it is at least 13.8 hours but probably closer to 14.5 hr with losses

Classic General Motors Quality in a nutshell

Then it's not for you.

@@KingYutty Takes a genius to come to that conclusion, doesn't it?

Lease one, don’t buy!

Imagine the problems at 70,000

To be fair this is more of a muscle truck status symbol and the original hummer was basically a military truck

Also, Porsche has offered rear wheel steering in their 911 since 2015. I suppose they added it as a gimmick as well??

Yes.

It's the cost of house how can you say that it wouldn't be your daily driver at that cost??? Must have money to waste on a impractical purchase just to sit in you garage for you to use only on Sundays!?? That make any sense ????

You'd have to move to rural Ohio or Louisiana and look for a house in a trailer park to find one for $115k. Inflation happens. The only thing that doesn't rise in price are salaries. Get used to it.

You bet. We are filming one today.

Cold weather saps the range. My EV is a 2017 with 100 miles of range and I lose around 30% of my range between running the heater and cold temps outside. Keeping the battery conditioned using L2 charger at home mitigates the loss somewhat. For a daily driver, it's not really an issue since new EVs have well over 200 miles of range and will be topped off at home. For road tripping, depends on charging infrastructure, distance, and speed.

Depends on the heating system. With resistance heat you can lose 40% of your range, with a heat pump you lose much less than that. The new Tesla's have heat pumps, older ones had resistance heaters

Ya skytraks have had that too for a while. Never found a single reason to use it. Maybe there a need in equipment but in the Hummer its kind of a sales gimmick

Comment below mine is the scammer

Stay the Trail.

absolutely

the crab walk will come in handy more than you think, like when you park at the end on the parking lot so no one dings your doors and that 1989 beater parks 6 inchs away

Our 03 GMC 1500HD has 4 wheel steering, and we love it...

Crab walk is great for lane changes at highway speed.

@@CamoShirt yes if he parks on the drivers side. he could also park on the passenger side . or he could have parole parked on the street and backed 6inches from your front or rear bumper, but i think you missed the point.

You better buy the extended warranty for 50k

Coming soon to a GM near you

Maybe they can also map it back to a comparison with gasoline fuel efficiency for a modern truck? Especially as real-world MPGe don't seem to match EPA estimates, sometimes half less than predicted. A point of reference, the Hummer EV has more than twice the battery of a Tesla Plaid, nearly 100kWh larger than Rivian, and similar range as both. The Hummer is/was never about efficiency, but massive vehicle, massive power, and massive power usage. 300kW is an incredible amount of energy. Most home level 2 chargers produce less than 10kW, depending on setup and vehicle. An average home central air uses about 4-5 kW of energy, similar to an electric oven.

They do have a number of videos on the subject. But kW is a measure of power, kWh is measure energy which is simply a power for a given amount of time (ie the 215kWh battery of the Hummer could theoretically put out 215kW for a time of 1 hour before it runs out). A space heater usually maxes about 1800W or 1.8kW, so being able to accept 300kW is a lot of power during charging. Many many standard households worth of power while charging.

1 kW is 0.746 hp, so 300kW is 402 hp. Welcome to the metric system. Get used to it, because it’s better!

300 kw per hour with out knowing either the kWh capacity of the car or the avg kWh per mile is not too useful.

I'm sure the government will bail them out again if they have problems. I agree with you though. All the interesting tech that they put in this, and this is the vehicle that they choose to build. They should have just left the Hummer name stay dead and roll this thing out as an Avalanche. Even better, it would have been probably more popular as a 4Runner sized SUV. GM doesn't have one of those, that would probably be a good seller for them. And just wait till electric rates go up. Then it'll be the same thing as the original Hummers, it's not economical, and takes an exorbitant amount of energy to fuel. You could probably charge 3 smaller CUV electric vehicles with the same amount of energy that it takes to charge this one.

Pretty much, yes. Depending on the I individual cell volt it might me more like half that. But still a ton of cells in series to hit that voltage.

About 215 in series, assuming 3.7 volts per cell

Also... I am attempting to detach from RU-vid. Have you guys considered going to Rumble as well?

I'm sorry I don't understand

No it won’t, you need to grasp the size of its battery, 212kwh of usable storage, like, around 16 third generation tesla powerwalls stacked together, you need to put all those together then get around 150 highly efficient solar panels on a sunny day to charge it, as fir the speed of charging, most home batteries are 52v, so even with 200 Amps output almost the highest you could get , you are charging at 10kwh, which means 21 hours of charging

It should not crack regular concrete... But it is Heavy!

That's a legitimate question, I know my parents had a RV years ago, either 32 feet or 37 feet long, can't remember and it cracked parts of the driveway where it had been parked.

@@venom5809 and I bet this behemoth probably weighs considerably more than 90% of the RVs and campers out there at 9400lbs.

I'm curious on this too. The stranding incident was of course pretty terrible, but GM's software is usually intuitive and very responsive in all their recent ICE products, so I'm wondering how they dropped the ball on this one.

100 miles in 10 minutes. 350kw DC fast charge at station.

@@paulkelley86 😂😂😂😂

Bigger batteries take longer to charge than smaller batteries. Did you know it takes longer to fill up a 3/4 ton truck gas tank compared to a compact car? Crazy how that works huh? It doesn’t take “several days” to charge this. That would be like saying if you filled up your duramax truck with diesel through a straw it would take DAYS. Yeah, maybe it would, but what idiot would do that? With the HummerEV, it’s unlikely anyone would be foolish enough to charge it from 0-100% first of all, and if they did, they wouldn’t do it with 120V power.

@@SuzukiKid400 yes, it takes several days to recharge! You’ve also made some false equivalencies there, bud. You just lost all credibility!

Sounds like the dealer is trying to keep your truck.

It does sound like the dealer is playing games. I’d go look at it and plug it in😉
