I have had my Hummer EV 3 months now, use it to drive to work and back to my weekend cabin every week, all major highways except for light 4wd stuff 3 last miles to the cabin…180 miles each way. It takes between 65%, and almost 80% to do the trip (smaller battery 2X version, off-road package, truck is NOT aerodynamic), no traffic and faster uses more battery, and only summer driving so far. Charging comment: I have hardwired chargers at both ends, vehicle is set (on the vehicle screen) to charge at the cheapest time, and only to 90%. Some pay chargers are in sketchy areas, I have had to phone to figure out the cryptic instructions several times. Hyper fast chargers save time, but at $.75 a kw/hr are stupid expensive, but means I’ve never had to wait to plug in. Chargers do not have windshield washing brushes, car washes, garbage receptacles or attendants who might answer a question. Super awkward to charge with a trailer, best to unhook. Some don’t work, you still get minimum charge, and it takes about as long to fill a car with gas as figure out the hyper charger is barely trickling power into your battery. This truck is HEAVY…almost 5 tons, and I’m hoping not to get mired in spring melting. But love the truck, even if it is massive.
Really Nice Job Zane. I know this was about GMC Ultium platform trucks only - but is might be good to note that EV cars charge much faster per mile (5 miles/hour on 110 and 30/hr on the Nema 14-50) as context, for those still new to EV charging in general...
Thank you. You are totally correct- most EV's will charge much faster than the 24-module Ultium Batteries that are found in the HUMMER EV. Smaller batteries = quicker charging and greater MoRPH added. The HUMMER and future Silverado EV / Sierra EV carry absolutely beast size batteries that are not representative of most EVs.
My wife has a Cadillac Lyriq and we have the Ultium charger with it, that gives 11.5kW. She needed to take her car in for service and they gave her the Hummer EV as a loaner! It was getting 17miles of range per hour, which was more than enough for the week or so that we had it. HOWEVER, if we were to actually buy this, I'd upgrade from our current 200A to something larger (maybe 400A) and get the Grizzl-E 80A charger, which will get you probably around 28 mile per hour. I think people need to realize that this car is a beast and even considering charging it on 110V is laughable.
Nice car and nice video. I will be installing a connector for this car soon. I'm curious what connector my customer chose for it. But most garages do not come with a NEMA 14-50 preinstalled. I know, I'm an electrician.
Porsche car charger, 22 kilowatts, home charger. Is there a way to use it to charge the Homer or a connecting device between them, or are there technical obstacles?
6:05 In Europe we have 3 phase power. In my country we have 230V 16A 3 phase plug in every house. You can push 11kW (but better to limit to 9kW) at any home. And it uses 5x2.5mm cable, which is fairly thin. So it is mobile and it can push 11kW.
@@vladimus9749 Google 'Yugoslav 3 phase'. The issue is that Neutral can overload if there is no balanced 3 phase load. Designed for 3 phase motors, and neutral was most auxialry for control relay. Irony is, it is mostly used for electric cookers, as they can be up to 9kW. There was Perilex used in Scandinavia. And Swiss have their system, where 3 phase socket can be used for both 3 phase and single phase devices.
I just ordered a Hummer EV, but I have a tesla stage 2 charger at home. Any recommendation as to where I can purchase an adapter for my Hummer to charge with my tesla home charger?
L2 at home. Using Ultium that came with the Hummer, I get 12 mph gain, which is plenty, enough that we even time when we charge to avoid California heavy TOU (Time of use) charges. So 9 pm, typically we're done charging between 12 am and 3 am depending on how wild we went driving it around the day before. Stably 12 mph/hour. I heard you have to change a setting ahead of time to use an L3 charger, is that true?
I just bought a 2025 GMC Hummer and it did not come with a charging cable unit whenever you wanna call it that is sold separately not like Tesla or any other EV manufacturer
I recently read that study show that fast charging does not hurt the batteries. There's also the thing when you charge over 80%, it's going to slow down! The closer you get to 100%, the slower it will charge.
Very complicated. I bet on 5 years this will be laughed at same as so many fast changes in computer and phones. I think Il wait a few years. Pretty vehicles
I got a kick out of that up to 25 cents a kilowatt, or more. I could say that the price you pay for gasoline is up to 25 cents a gallon, or more, and that is completely factual. I've seen charge America stations that charge 48 cents a kilowatt hour, whereas the Tesla chargers a couple of rolls over, are only charging 43 cents a kilowatt hour. I have never seen a charging charger that will only charge you 25 cents a kilowatt to charge your car.
from the thumbnail i thought u was kyle from outofspecreviews haha ill take a cybertruck jk, ill actually keep riding my late grandfathers bike cuz im poor
That's what I was thinking at first, but honestly, you will most likely waste less time charging an EV than you will waste going and fueling a gas car at a gas station. Almost always I have to go out of my way to fill up the tank. And if I stop at best priced gas station, will wait in line as well. An EV would be charged every day, overnight while you are in the comfort of your home. (excluding road trips) . Just my two cents, but who am I to comment? I don't own an EV (yet).
@@Nicks_Hobbies_ChannelAgreed, all depends on your lifestyle. If you will charge at home 99% of the time, you're saving significant time and money compared to going to gas stations in a traditional car. If you regularly need to go to fast chargers, EVs aren't ready for you yet as you'd end up wasting way more time (and likely money since fast charging is very expensive). It requires a bit of planning and thought which is typical for early-adopting any new technology.
The entire concept is based around most you're charging done at home. Despite how slow charging at home is, you will actually spend less active time charging! You pull up to a gas station pump, you get out of the vehicle, you search for your credit or debit card, (getting it out of your wallet is not an instant process) You put the card in the machine, you follow the prompts. You wait for the machine to initialize. You connect the hose to the car and dispense the fuel. When you are done, you remove the hose and reconnect it to the pump, and wait for the machine to finish your sale, and offer you a receipt. Vs... You arrive at your place of residence, grab the cord, connect it to your vehicle, walk away. When done, you disconnect, and return the cord to the cord holder. The big difference is, despite taking several hours to charge, the average person will come home, clean themselves, feed themselves, go to bed. (That alone takes several hours to do.) The seven and a half miles per hour of charge seems slow to me, (that number should be over 10) If you are home for 10 hours, you have just added 75 mi of driving capability. The average person will not come home with a completely dead battery. I know people that actually use the 110 volt charger, they are getting 4.5 mi for every hour it's plugged in, and it is more power than they need to charge the car for their daily usage!

Very well explained! We just bought a Hummer SUV and it explains a lot.
Same here. Thanks man

What is the max amps home charger we can use? I have 48 AMP charger, but is 90 AMP OK?

The dealer has to sell you a box as well?? Id be interested in hearing how it worked out

Just bought mine SUV Loving It❤️
Question, I travel a lot w my family. Are there many charging stations that support the Hummer?
what brand is that hardwired system
Would love to know
didn't mention the 19.5 kw which is really made for the hummer
Please let us know when GMC will come out with an approved adapter to use Tesla fast chargers.
Just bought one from GM about three weeks ago. Someone I ran into at a public fast charger about a week ago told me they are on backorder now.
What brand/maker is your hardwired 240 volt charger that delivers 11.5 kw for the 2024 Hummer?
I just bought a 2025 GMC Hummer and it did not come with a charging cable unit whenever you wanna call it that is sold separately not like Tesla or any other EV manufacturer
Great Video
Does a faster charger reduce the life of the battery?
Does fast charging hurt your batteries or hurt the amount of times you can recharge your batteries?
I recently read that study show that fast charging does not hurt the batteries.
There's also the thing when you charge over 80%, it's going to slow down! The closer you get to 100%, the slower it will charge.
Will the hummer fit in a regular garage?
Yes, it will. We put ours in a standard garage every night
Yeah with room for plenty of other stuff too typically. They are a bit wide. They aren't the gargantuans that most people assume they are.
Get a fast charge at your house period
Ok, how much does it cost to actually charge up your Hummer? In $ please!
Very complicated. I bet on 5 years this will be laughed at same as so many fast changes in computer and phones. I think Il wait a few years. Pretty vehicles
👍💖👍Thank you🎉
If you put this Hummer ev on Turo I will definitely rent it from you
How much would you pay for a day?
I got a kick out of that up to 25 cents a kilowatt, or more. I could say that the price you pay for gasoline is up to 25 cents a gallon, or more, and that is completely factual.

Battery degradation is a real problem
"Charging 20-80% in 25-30min" wtf does that mean...is it 20% or 80%?? There's a big difference.
He said you can go from 20 to 80 in that time.
Way Way to long for the amount of information given, please get to the info and stop repeating the same thing.
Add up the hours wasted on waiting for a charge…. Not very lifestyle enticing especially when the one thing we always run out of … is time
