Deep diving into the Hummer EV; a vehicle I’m not sure I’ve ever had such conflicting thoughts about. On one hand, it’s a brilliant vehicle, wildly capable off-road, and genuinely feels like it has the ability to embarrass both the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX in any scenario, but on the other hand, it appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with a quote about “engineering a greener future.”
There are three 250 kW electric motors, which combined give you 1,000 horsepower and 1200 lb-ft of torque. So despite weighing over 9,000 lbs, GM claims it’ll reach 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds. Now, allowing those three electric motors to provide an absurd launch is a massive battery pack; at over 2900 lbs, the battery pack alone weighs more than an entire Subaru BRZ. This battery has 205 kWh of energy available to use.
It’s not a gimmick, it’s really quick, and it’s really capable off-road. Plain and simple, it’s very impressive to drive. But it also feels like a colossal waste of resources, and considering it weighs nearly as much as all three of cars that I own combined, I sincerely hope I never meet one in a collision. But I like it. I mean, I do. Dang. Watch the video for all the details.

@JeremyWinter 2 года назад

@@SlackActionBumble Dirt roads do cut range, but at low speeds EV's can go incredible ranges. Take a low range EV that is rated at 82 Miles. It can go 140 miles driving on flat ground at 25 mpg. That's almost 75% range increase and serious jeep trails are more like 5 mph. The most popular jeep trail in Washington State is the Naches Trail and is only 13 miles. So starting in Puyallup, up and over the cascades and ending in Yakima (DC fast charges at both ends) would be 80 miles. A Jeep capable EV can do that easy with some charge time. If there was a fast charger in Greenwater, the trip would only be 35 Miles.

When batteries are no longer fit for EV use (usually 80-70% of original capacity, usually between 250,000 to 500,000 miles), they get used to grid storage. Once those batteries are no longer capable of holding a charge in grid storage, they get recycled. A company called Redstone Materials is actively recycling EV batteries. A study found that a recycled EV battery (where its broken down into its component materials before being made into a new battery) is actually superior to the original battery it came from.

@andrasbiro3007 2 года назад

1. EVs are not that expensive anymore, especially used ones. Also don't forget the huge costs savings after purchase. The total cost of ownership over 5 years can be surprisingly cheap for an EV. For example a Tesla Model 3 has a TCO comparable to a Toyota Camry. 2. Many people could easily afford an EV, but they still buy diesel. It's either ignorance, or they really don't care. Of curse there are special circumstances where no appropriate EV exists yet, but for most people that's not the case. 3. Batteries aren't mined. Lithium is what you are thinking of. And mining lithium is actually a lot cleaner than drilling for oil. And way much less is necessary. And it can be recycled near at a 100% efficiency, indefinitely. And there are other ways to extract lithium too. Tesla for example has a new method that is 100% green. They already have the rights to a large deposit in Nevada, and will likely start mining soon, because lithium prices are skyrocketing. 4. Actually mines are starting to use electric equipment, simply because those are much better and cheaper. Large electric dump trucks have existed for many years, and there are electric bulldozers too. Electric equipment is especially preferred underground, due to ventilation requirements. And if Tesla starts to mine, I bet you won't see many diesel engines around. One of Elon's other companies already has an electric tunneling machine.

@Charlie_omakase 2 года назад

One thing that is extremely important to note in the "green" comparison factor of the Hummer vs traditional ICE engines is how many times more emission is created during the initial manufacturing process of batteries vs ICE engines. This is the EV dirty little secret, and with a a battery pack that can power a small city I imagine the environmental impact in manufacturing is ENORMOUS. It is also important to note the fact that this large impact is paid at INCEPTION. In the real world there are many cases where the benefits of the EV are not actually able to be reaped. For example many Hummers were crashed during crash and safety rating tests, although they may have gone on to drive 200,000 miles and maybe would have been better for the environment over the long term a significant % of EV simply do not reach this point, and given that most of the impact on the environment is at inception during the manufacturing process these cases are essentially losses.

@spazzywhitebelt 2 года назад

@andrasbiro3007 2 года назад

1. Separate the Hummer from other EVs. A real EV is far cleaner than an ICE car, if you take everything into account. Battery manufacturing is nowhere near as dirty as it used to be, and it will just keep getting cleaner. Most of the emission comes from the electricity that is used in the factory, and that can easily come from renewables. 2. Only a tiny percentage of the cars are used for crash tests, it doesn't have a meaningful impact on the overall emissions. 3. The battery can be recycled, almost 100% of it. Oil not so much.

One thing I often find myself arguing with Tesla fans about is their capacity to introduce new models and maintain their pure EV market share. Tesla has yet to break the 1 million vehicles per year mark, and they backed off three model launches for 2022. GM put this together from a clean sheet design in just three years. Other large volume automakers have similar engineering capabilities, so I really think Tesla's days at the top are numbered as the big boys line up to steal their lunch money. I still can't figure out why their share price is climbing again, especially since Tesla Energy isn't even among the top 200 residential solar installers in the US. I guess the hype train never stops, but hopefully a vehicle like the Hummer EV can get more people interested in EVs in general, and having more model choices at various price points won't hurt either. Tesla will eventually experience what Volkswagen did when they relied too long on a just a few models to carry them, but their capitalization should help them work through it if they manage to find competent leadership.

EV's just export carbon emissions from the US to other third world countries but the end result is still the same amount of co2 being emitted into the air we all breathe. EV's are a noble pursuit but they will never replace fossil fuels. Long charge times, high co2 emissions during mining, limited range and total lack of towing... EVs are for Washington elites.

Your driving along in your high output tuned and tweaked whatevermobile, pull up to red light and stop. Due to the enormity of it, from a few hundred meters away you cant help but notice the EV Hummer (im going with Vummer) is going to be your competition when the light goes green. The only question remaining is if, in fact, that Vummer driver will reciprocate your desire to light the fires and burn the tires... Without 100% confirmation that the driver is down to race, you mentally prepare and grip the wheel waiting for the change. As the cross traffic light goes yellow you get that tingly, excited feeling and build revs preparing to drop the clutch for a perfect launch. Its at this point you see out of the corner your eye, the Vummer suddenly drops 2 inches in the front while the driver then changes to both hands now gripping the wheel in the proper position to try and get a handle on the tidal wave of torque that is about to be unleashed thanks to launch control. Steady now, dont false start...THE LIGHT GOES GREEN ANDDD.... Next thing you know the Vummer is on top of your car somehow, crushing you and your vehicle beneth its gargantuan weight. It all happened so fast, you had no time at all to react. As your consiousness slowly fades away, one of your last, fleeting thoughts is "why did crab mode activation have to be right next to launch control activation?"

Another aspect of the environmental impact: the manufacturing of an EV car -- especially the extraction of metals needed to make the batteries -- also causes significant environmental damage and emissions. Over the lifetime of ownership, a more efficient EV like a Tesla will make up for these production emissions compared to the gasoline alternative, resulting in a net-benefit to the environment.

@erikstephens34 2 года назад

I generally liked the video. Some great points. I would imagine the CO2 impact of the Hummer EV will vary depending on how clean the grid is in your area. One other note you mentioned that most charging sites with 350KW stations only have one stall. This is actually not true. Most Electrify America sites have two 350KW stalls. And the GM Ultium funded EVGo sites also have a minimum of two 350KW stations. All of the Electrify America stations are 350KW capable (even the 150KW ones) but they don't have the charging modules to deliver that power installed at this time (but are fully upgradable if the demand warrants). So this is not nearly as big of a deal as you indicate. There is another tricky dynamic with the Hummer EV. There are different vendors that make 350KW stations and they are rated differently. Some units are rated for 1000VDC at 350A max. Some are rated to deliver up to 500A max (maximum currently available through CCS). The Hummer EV needs 500A to hit it's peak charging rates. But some 350KW DCFC's peak out at 350A. So the Hummer EV will be limited to roughly 250KW at these sites. Note Hummer EV has a nominal pack voltage just under 700VDC. Fully discharged is close to 600V and fully charged is close to 800VDC (when DC charging with both packs in series).

@Xenon0000000000001 2 года назад

I was wondering what charging speed would be required to get their claimed 100 miles in 10 mins, so attempted some maths. They claim a range of 350 miles on a full charge of the 200kWh battery, so 100 miles requires 57kWh to be added by the charger. If the charger was outputting 57kWh for 10 mins, it would give ~342 for the hour, so it seems that in ideal condiftions it can charge at around 350kWh. It'll be interesting to see how that works out in the real world.

@dcsteve7869 2 года назад

Good points. I have driven across the country so many times I've actually forgot how many times I've done it. I do know this. I usually have to stop for gas about every 300-350 miles and when I do it's usually not a splash and dash but rather I'm getting out, walking around getting some food, etc. My general time for a fill up is around 20-30 minutes with a longer stay for food usually about a quarter of the way for an hour. I usually end up staying in a hotel midway (usually OKC or Amarillo) for some 6-8 hours of sleep. It would be interesting to see how it turns out but i would think given the range, a little careful driving, and averaging around the same times for charging if I can meet my average time of around 42 hours Washington DC to the SF bay area, but if I couldn't I doubt I would be that far off my average.

Out in in middle of nowhere and u kill your batteries can u carry a gallon jug of kilowatts that u can dump into the battery to make it home I also wonder how many miles will battery pack last before u need to spend 20 grand to replace and where do the batteries go when no longer good do they go to the landfill ????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 awesome for the environment lo

I'm glad that you like the new Hummer enjoy the electric vehicles while you can they're not going to last long, it was a good idea they just won't work they're impractical and way too much money

"Some companies care about the environment" When are we going to acknowledge that manufacturing batteries and electricity is not much better than a gas car? How long do you have to drive an EV before you make up for the CO2 generated by the mining and manufacturing process of the batteries. Heavy equipment isn't exactly eco friendly.

Doesn’t Jason have videos covering this topic?

@IRLtrolls 2 года назад

@@ALMX5DP Maybe. I'd like to hear his side. I've seen a ton of videos saying you have to drive an EV for X number of years before you make up for the emissions to build it as opposed to buying an economic gas car like a Civic or Corolla.

I included the math in this video, and have many other videos covering the subject. This one covers it well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6RhtiPefVzM.html

extremely well presented and magnificently introduced - VERY cool, especially rear wheel contouring!

i used to work at GM, it felt like working with dinosaurs.. but something happened , i can't believe they pulled this off , what a masterpiece . they actually used all the potential they had , great work guys

@chrissscottt 2 года назад

Yeah I like it too but I'd never buy one. Also a 200k mile estimated lifetime is pretty generous considering it's primarily an off road vehicle.

Like supercars which are so low and wide, they sometimes cant go places normal cars can. This supertruck is so massive it wont fit into parking spaces, go over low capacity bridges, under height restricted areas. Wow, here is something else some people can have when there is nothing better to spend their money on.

Coolest EV on the market!

@Exedorable 2 года назад

Surprisingly, this is the first EV that's peaked my interest, tho to be fair I've recently discussed w/ an old coworker how I'm no closer to actually buying/trying anything electric today, than I was 5 years ago. We've yet to even test drive any EV tbh

@KevinLyda 2 года назад

Dismissing an entire class of cars you've never test driven seems like an odd flex.

@jnawk83 Год назад

if your interest is piqued, do that test drive. It doesn't have to be this model, you'll have a hard time finding an EV you truly hate.

@Exedorable Год назад

@@jnawk83 I've been in a prius hybrid, I know what no engine sounds like. And I've had multiple sports cars, so I doubt a model 3 or w/e will handle better/sport-ier than a camaro or a Gti. Ironically I remember a good 10 years ago helping a friend's dad buy a pickup truck to discover, when we went in to get it, that he never test drove it. The irony is I'm basically at that stage now - I'd get the car for its merits, test drive isn't even on the checklist tbh

When you are traveling in the middle of nowhere in a dinosaur burning vehicle you can easily carry a bunch of extra dinosaur juice to keep running until you are in the middle of somewhere and can get more dinosaur juice. With an electric vehicle if you run out of battery then you will have to set up a solar panel and wait a week or more before you can get charged up enough to get back to somewhere. That means you will have to carry enough food and water to survive while the electric vehicle charges up which means you will not be able travel nearly as far in the first place. So if you have an electric vehicle, stay home and drive to the grocery store or around town and hope you have a dinosaur burning vehicle if you have to commute to work very far so you can continue to earn the money you need to buy the electric vehicle..
