They're doing low mileage leases for ~$850 a month after like $5K down. Normally I would say to never put money down on a lease but that's really not a bad monthly payment on a vehicle with that level of MSRP. Paying less than $40K over 3 years for a $100K vehicle at a time where it's still a bit questionable to own an EV long term ain't bad
Nice video. Thanks for making it. Great to see a GM EV get 180kWh on a 400V charger. Welcome to chargers that work. And the port is on one of the two correct locations. You don't need to take 2 spots. Just park between the lines. Why couldn't GM have done the same on all their EV's?
We are 72 and we need to stop for BIO breaks well before our Tesla, so even if we had a gassed we’d still be stopping. And Tesla SuperCharger locations have better restroom facilities than any highway rest stops or gas stations.
I've charged Teslas before - I was mostly concerned with the charger allowing a GM product. Tesla chargers are for sure elite. NACS is the best. It might not seem like a big deal, but it's so nice how lightweight they are compared to other charger handles/chords.
My Math is not very strong. but as far as I can see you got almost 80-90 Mile range and spent $25 for this much charging and when you will drive that range will be depleted if I am not wrong to may be 70-75 miles. So how is this economical also you spent 18 minutes to kill the time and spent money to eat as well. please prove my math wrong and show me how they claim that electric vehicle save you money over the period of time? Thank you
Hummer EV isn't an economy vehicle; vast majority of charging occurs at home for much cheaper, especially if you can get a time of use rate plan from your utility.
Charge 95% to 98% at home for .12 per kwh so 100kwh is $12 at 3 to 4 miles per kwh that's 300-400 miles. 1000 miles per month is around 50 bucks versus $150 +/- for gas. Zero stops for gas so save 20 minutes of refueling time which will wash with the couple DC fast charge sessions on the rare occasion of long distance travel

I want the Hummer EV. I hope GM doesn't stop making them before I can figure out how to find $100k.
I'm sure you'll figure it out! I think GMM will make them for a few years.

Thank you for watching! I really appreciate the comment.
How did you take up 2 parking spots? Your charger port is located at the rear of the driver side which is where it’s supposed be similar to Tesla EVs.
Yeah I realized that later.

True!
5:29, No actually the charging port is on the correct location of the Hummer, It only needs the one spot to charge just like all other Tesla's
You're right.
how long from a 10 % to 100% charge would it take and how much$?
I can't give you a great answer, but I recently charged this Hummer at a 50kw charger from about 20% to 100% and it cost $85.
@@KickingTires wow thats alot
You thought it was going to be hard because you’ve never owned a Tesla before…

Wow...50 cents / kwh. Local utility charges about 14 cents / kwh. Guess they gotta pay for the power, equipment, and rental space somehow.
It seemed like a lot to me too. I'm still learning how everything works in the real world with an EV.
That is a lot.
95% of charging happens at home ..
51 cents per kwh

@@jimlamparty3502 Thanks. now it make sense. or have an ICE vehicle for long distance travels to save time. and for daily use EV.
@@AffableAlpaca so for daily its still good but not as much good for long distance travel. Thank you.
Just buy a Tesla. Jesus
Not as cool.
