I like how they brought back the monster hummer in the name of “environmentally friendly electricity” 😂
The hummer name used to by synonymous with pathetically low range and emissions that would put a coal power plant to shame. Now we have a new hummer with zero emissions and a range on par with some of the most fuel efficient gas vehicles on the market.
@@orange_turtle3412Zero emission when build? Zero emission from the power plant generating the electric power needed to move 9000 lbs? And to produce 1000hp?
Zero emission for the increased amount of tear of the infrastructure, the roads, such a heavy vehicle creates?
Zero emission for the increses road space it needs for driving and parking?
And what about this being a pedestrian killer? Or a danger to people driving sensible sized cars?
@@th5841 I mean the car has zero emissions. I never said it was environmentally friendly. It just doesnt emit anything from itself
@@orange_turtle3412 Ev's in its life cycle produce more carbon emissions than petrol powered cars in its life cycle as of today, we still need coal to power these cars and produce more carbon while mining. Hybrids are the best way as of today. not Ev's unless someone finds the better power source for producing mass electricity than coal. And petrol cars are still fun as heck.
@@rahuldas3379actually on average after 6 years a gas car will surpass the ev
I’m scared for some of those small local bridges in towns with this thing
those would likely have a weight limit.
its stull under 5 tons and ive never seen a bridge with a weight limit less than 5
@@lucapagliai7869 what if two hummers go over it? or even a hummer and basically any other car
@@abysswalker2403 that happens with like a 2500 pick up too
@@abysswalker2403guess that’s the hard way of finding out you shouldn’t ride people’s ass on tiny bridges
It's a good thing you went to NY when you did considering yesterday the sky was orange due to wildfire smoke...
definitely glad I did not go during the smoke...it looks horrible!
@@TedwardDrives it feels horrible too lol, glad it’s clearing up now
Damn all those canadians lighting their fires! 😂
I finally saw one of these ev numbers on the road. They look so bad ass.
I could never afford one, but love them just the same...
Who knew that a car that has a battery that weighs more than a Miata could be so damn easy to road trip.
This thing rules.
it better be at least decent for $110k sheesh
it better be fucking good for that price
I knew it
Yeah and for the normal person driving the Miata, or any sedan sized car it doesn’t rule.
@@ralkiait’s the same price as a Tesla but it’s better
the headlights indicating charge are huge brain, now that I've seen it it makes so much sense I can't give any reason why I haven't seen it on another EV yet.
1000% agree. its one of my favorite features
I think rivians have something similar with the front light bar.
I don't want other people knowing how much charge I have.
New hummer on the Merrit looks so calm haha, thats usually a circus when im on
Hey Tedward! Drive safe out there i enjoy your videos!
This thing is a beast. Obviously not really made for a normal consumer but it is a cool novelty
Too expensive, too heavy, extremely inefficient. We're at least a few years away from having efficient SUVs.
Novelty for what?
It's heavy as a freight train, poor range, can't tow any real distance, even poorer range the faster you drive, no serious off roading.
What is the point of this massive lump of shit?
They can make is smaller if they want to. Then I think it would be reasonable.
@@robertgreenhalge1708could say the same for the original Hummer lol it’s literally just a novelty item to show your friends. If you’re buying a car to actually be useful, you’re not in the market for a Hummer
@@robertgreenhalge1708all I hear is “I’m broke” I don’t buy a v8 to save gas it’s for fun just like I don’t buy a Hummer EV to be efficient. It’s all for fun and show
This car is kinda Dream Car material
I live along the route of your road trip, pretty cool to see!
5:10 when he talks about the heated/cooled seats button.. car reviewers complain that they're are too many buttons then complain when manufacturers find ways to lessen the amount of buttons. Some can't be satisfied
What he says is kinda fair actually, since it seems like only the buttons are physical, but the functions change based on which one you press.
That hummer sounds good,it's relaxing to hear. All EVs should have a sound like that. It isn't much cheaper to change than it is to tank up a civic. Might as well get a gas SUV for half the price, lol, but it is cool.
“Might as well”? It’s not a chore owning a Hummer EV it’s a treat. Nobody owns a Hummer because they need it, it’s something you *want.* I don’t think y’all fully understand the concept of a Supertruck. This purchase makes a statement socially and it is money spent for comfort, fun & enjoyment.
@@G-Ratedis 'want' in bold?
@@G-Ratedsomeone gets it
@@zombockerman it is. Lol
I seen a HUMMER EV one point while driving through I10 one point here in FL. It’s pretty cool to look at and seen one first time
Ive only ever seen one in person. It was in a parking lot in San Diego and the thing took up the entire parking space.
As the environmentalist: Mining for batteries are a hell of a lot better than the drilling and burning of oil, especially since that material is lifetime of the vehicle not one week of fuel. Ideal? no but we gotta work with realities, at least improvements/shift to LFP packs will reduce material per pack/ eliminate cobalt and nickel.
You do realise that we have to burn coal to charge this death machine. 😐
@@Dang00TheAlienIAmTheRealOne Right because solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal and tidal all don't exist or anything. Also what if I told you that EV's charged on coal still pollute less than ICE due to the higher efficiency of both the car and power plants?
@@KeeperOfTheSevenKeys. none of which are good enough to actually support the power grid anyway. Everyone seems to forget that. Good luck trying to charge everyone’s cars every night when we can’t even afford to keep the air conditioners running throughout summer currently. If we actually had more more nuclear power plants I would agree, but we don’t.
@@Dang00TheAlienIAmTheRealOne They are though, automakers aren't even able to outpace grid expansion so that's not really going to be an issue.
@@Dang00TheAlienIAmTheRealOneNuclear power produces fuck tons more power per KG of material AND per sqft of space. It is also less deadly than coal, even if you include accidents like chernobyl that was 100% a purposely inaction from the governments, it's still WAAAY safer to build and then use.
I would never buy an electric car without having proper charging capabilities at home
yoooooooo that peugeot 205 and audi sport quattro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would’ve been better with a Cummins in it
There's something about driving a street legal EV monster truck that's special 😅
2019 Dodge ram 5.7 Hemi - $60 + or - for fuel from e to f. Around 413 miles on a full tank ... this shit still doesn't make sense to buy and ain't cheaper.
i wanna drive that thing so bad
40 minutes sitting around waiting for your car to charge😂 couldn’t be me man
Using 70s technology.... Nasa half-assed a partnership with like Hyundai or Honda (an Asian car manufacturer) to produce better batteries. In a year they came out with a battery that could hold 2x the energy and charge from 0 - 100% In 15 mins. Bottom line is gas cars had over a hundred MORE years of development than EVs, so don't be surprised if it acts like 100 year old technology.
I know, it's ridiculous, especially since some of the charging stations don't even work properly.
40 mins IF the station is actually working 😂
Can confirm, fun to drive
So let me get this straight… You have to drive slower on the highway so you don’t drain your battery too fast? You spend money on food/shopping while your truck charges for 40+ mins (which doesn’t even get you to full) and still pay $50? Charging stations aren’t everywhere and the ones that are out there have only 1-2 working machines? Did I miss anything?
Looks sweet…. Would like a hybrid version.
That hummer is illegal to drive on parkways in the NYC tri state area. Its over the maximum weight limit. These new things are so ridiculously big they are in the size and weight range some states consider commercial vehicles.
...let's not go down that route when many countries have weight limits 1.5 - 2x as high because they ACTUALLY maintain their infrastructure. Even in Canada, just across the border, the weight limit is 50,000 lbs higher than the US. Here's the funny part... you guys max out at 80,000lbs, but in Canada you can drive on our roads and then somehow fit 5 of these hummer EVs IN your trailer and still be underweight by 5,000lbs. It's not a problem with the car, it's literally a poor infrastructure problem. You guys dump too much into your defense and military and NOTHING into your own people and then wonder why your country is falling apart.
Also you are completely lying and purposely leaving out context. According to New York law, a NON-COMMERCIAL vehicle is 26,000lbs or below. This hummer is only around 10,000lbs which means you can 2.5x that trucks weight and still be considered a passenger vehicle and not a commercial vehicle.
It just seems so vulnerable to be WAITING for the batteries to charge.
Except that almost nobody just stands there and waits for their car to charge. They go shopping or eat lunch at a nearby restaurant, and 20 or 30 minutes later they come back to an EV that's ready to go.
@@beanapprentice1687 Why would YOU know what people do?
@@craigster1234 Simple. I follow communities of EV drivers and have learned all about their driving and charging habits.
@@beanapprentice1687 Get lost.
If/wen I get an EV eventually I’ll almost certainly splurge on a portable batt pack from Anker or whoever else makes em. Like having a 5 gallon can with you on a trail wen using a PEV
The problem is, they don't hold much charge and they also charge very slowly.
Thats not how that works, at all
crazy interior. This car looks exactly like a car from cyberpunk 2077 game unlike tesler cybertruck, which is more like from 2770.
that car is just so unnecessary
That’s literally the definition of every Hummer ever lol.
@@LateNightDateNight somehow I feel like this one is even less necessary than the “real” predecessors
your comment too, so it's ok lol
There's no such thing as unnecessary
Spoken like a true Tesla fanboy waiting on the cybertruck to finally go into production so somebody can drive and review _it._ The unnecessary Hummer has been out for nearly 2 years now. Lol
The problem with EVs is they’re all too expensive and nobody can afford a house so they can charge at home. Until the housing crisis is solved or it doesn’t take 30+ min to “fill up” EVs will never be mainstream
Why are you so concerned with EVs being mainstream? It sounds like you’re hoping they don’t become mainstream but it’s sorta too late for that. Anti EV clowns shouldn’t even be in the comments of EV reviews if you’re uninterested.
@@grassberries Yes I did read it all, again what data warrants the idea “EVs will never be mainstream”? They already are. People don’t just charge at home.
tesla model 3 and y are relatively cheap
@@imviciously and so is the Cadillac Lyriq which gets you a whole lot more for your money than a Tesla Model Y.
@@G-Rated that's cool, I'm just saying that the prices of EVs aren't that high anymore
I like how you mentioned Electricity is NOT free. People need to weigh costs to charge VS filling up with diesel fuel or gasoline. This was barely cheaper than filling up my Ram 2500 with a Cummins but I get 600 miles of range on the highway with my Cummins. My Ram weighs 8,000lbs, when I get 600 miles to range I am not towing, and I am going on long road trips.
@unixsuperuser….. that’s not even close to the truth . My Raptor cost $150 to fill up, my M3 cost $70 to fill up, my S7 cost $90 to fill up….hell my sons 2022 Civic cost $45 ….. price per “fill up “ HEAVILY favors the EV the difference is entry price .
This is still cooler in every way lol can your 2500 Ram do a 12 second quarter mile?
@@LisaAnn777meh ram has a higher top speed and more range more power.
it’s so ironic? The purpose of EV is supposed to save the world, but then they make this EV, yup saving the planet
"Relatively slow speed." I didn't know going 71 in a 65 is slow.
Unless you’re a grandma or drive a prius, yes that is slow.
this looks like something you would drive on mars
Mining lithium to make those batteries is incredibly horrible for the environment.
Gas guzzlur to electricity guzzler💀💀
When he got to the windshield wiper fluid, you can tell he was slowly losing his shit lol
Exactly…I would give almost anything to buy the Hummer and drive it in Cambridge, MA…: “wait…no pollution…but it uses bigger batteries…it’s just so…so big…”.
Very attractive vehicle! I want one!
EV Humvee is like a Vegetarian Tiger, so to speak.
being a more expensive car because it's electric and paying $50 to recharge, is it cheaper than a regular car, something I would pay $30-$40 to fill up.(not necessarily a regular Hummer)?
This seems like the least tedward video to be honest. No cool vintage sounds, no spirited driving, just tedward on a couch talking to us. lol.
I can’t believe people actually sit and wait for 30-50 mins charging a car when you can pull into a gas station for 4 minutes and out lol it still baffles me that people buy EV’s
Wealthy people know the value of time. Poor people don’t. Hence why poor people will waste 40-50 mins charging (to save money on fuel) and simultaneously go spend $50-$75 on a meal or shopping while they wait for their car to charge 😂
.......$41 for 50% charge?!?!?! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! pennies on the dollar my ass.....
cant wait till i take delivery of mine ...
I've been driving this thing in COD for months hahahaha
Some dude has one where I live and it looks small next to the Mega Raptor it parks next to. It’s comical
Yeah, but that mega raptor doesn't weigh nearly 10000 pounds. You can bully shitty pickup drivers in the hummer.
Hilarious how it makes a Range Rover look as big as an MX5 8:22
This Hummer and a Rimac are the only electric cars I would like to drive 😂👌
What about the Audi e-tron?
@@meowexotics6516did you really ask if anyone wanted to drive a P🤮rsche 😂
Rivian
Holy crap, you said Petrol!! Sorry, I'm just not used to Americans saying that.
dont forget the banana peel
Wow I had no idea charging was that expensive!
Its not. Most I've paid with my car to fill up was $20, that was a one time thing. Its usually between $7 and $9 to fill up,.
@@brianb5723 It literally just was...
@@blackhatch46Just going to point out that charging at home costs 1/4th to 1/5th the current rate of public charging. So maybe $20 to “fill up” your Hummer unless you’re driving more than the max range in a day.
Charging at a DC fast charger is always more expensive, its like going to the most expensive gas station during rush hour and buying the most expensive gas.@@blackhatch46
@@brianb5723 it depends on where you are. some places have higher electricty prices then others. if it was europe that probably would have been like 100 bucks.
How is the road noise? Wondering if it’s noisy because of the removable panels
Chevy has the opportunity to create the greatest Bolt known to man and decides to make this thing instead
Love you from India 😮
I just seen one on the road today and it was something out of halo or cyberpunk movie type 😂
38 minutes to get gas essentially, noice.
How could you not have the charger in your house when you got this beast 😅😅😅
I dont own it...it's a press car. it was dropped off to me by GMC for a week.
Were you at the trumbull mall on thursday the 17th. I thought I saw your truck near the chargers> was there wit my EV6 charging at the 350kw at 245 kw. I have fund trumbull and stratford to be pretty good with charging. I live in southbury CT and work at Ingersoll automotive. would love to see more chargers on our side of the state. We put some huge dc fast chargers at work as well.
Really weird it has auto hands free driving but in a 55 mph zone it was going all over the place from 59 mph to 76 mph. Here, you get pulled over driving even 1 mph over the speed limit. Same when I lived / worked in PA and KS.
None chargeing stations anywhere can’t sale them because of that issue nation wide
I totally get it, but it's hilarious hearing someone calling 150kw "slow" 😂. Things pushing out 5 times the energy that my entire house consumes in 24 hours, in 1 hour. lol
Let’s not mention the THREE wiper blades 😮
a 3/4 ton gasser is still cheaper to own and daily drive than any electric truck. We're just not there yet.
looked like u were going to lv connected to the charging station. Good edit :)
Sure will be nice when you can use Tesla Superchargers. Then you can buy a Cybertruck as well to match :) Also, why haven't you put in a wall charger at your house? Where are the 300Kw electrify America stations or can't the hummer take it that hard?
Is it just me but like you are traveling straight but have to keep your steering wheel slightly to the left? See 5:30. Might need some aligning done
Great truck but they sold 47 in Q2 of 23...
Was that lucid going with you or was it coincidental that a white lucid what at both charging stations
beginning of video: i can't charge this at my house
end of video: you can charge this at your house!!!
If i owned an ev id set up charging on 240v. But I don’t so I haven’t.
I understand doing the 80% on the day to day driving to protect the battery. But when you take trips I would think you should do 100% just in case. Also can you carry a small generator with a 30 amp plug on long trips to charge?
Damn, this is not a road trip car.
At 165kwh it still takes an hour.
Easily ads 30%-40% to the time of any road trip.
waiting for someone to duramax swap one of these
The door closing most certainly DOES NOT have a solid sounding thunk, but that’s to be expected for G.M., though ridiculous for a 10k lb truck.
Out of curiosity, why were you using the 150 kw chargers? The Hummer EV is one of the few vehicles that can utilize the 350 KW electrify america chargers.
Amazing video.
He should be introduced to Jimmothy
Wdym 4:33... you ALWAYS look behind you, always check your blind spots
Probably one of the only ev's id ever think about owning.
wow over $40 for like half a charge?? that's insane
Agreed. And it’s a huge battery
might as well live in it too
Man what a machine! Just wish it weighed a lot less
How y’all are you? You make that big ass truck look like a canyon or ranger lol
You got pulled over lol 7:56
Nope
@11:12 that's route 15!
What a pain to deal with charging
I'm not paying for a charge to also have to waste my time. Pay for the gas and keep going baby!
9000 pounds ? And they haven’t figured out a way to put enough battery to get a 500 mile range ? Do they actually want to sell these things ?
No way! Cool content man 😊
Nice jeans
Wait, you had to pay to charge your battery?
Yeah man. Electricity ain’t free. You gotta pay to keep the lights on right?
It’s a lot cheaper to charge at home (which an owner would mostly do)
Sure is! But tough to do on a road trip
@@TedwardDrives yes. I think EVs are great cars for commuting but not much fun on road trips. I’ve been happy with my phev. But after watching your videos I’m really missing the manual transmissions I’ve driven most of my life.
The Cadillac Allante or Chrysler TC by "Maserati" of 2023
Just as a Commercial based vehicle.
Dude why are you charging a banana ?
This car is so Dangerous. Imagine this Vs a 2000 pound Carolla or a 3500 Pound Minivan with a family inside
In my country you need a heavy vehicle driving license to drive vehicles weighing over 3 tonnes (~6600lb), so this Hummer would end up in the same category as medium-duty lorries/trucks e.g. Mercedes-Benz Atego, Hino 300
@@lzh4950 what country is that in
@@YellowDoh Singapore. On the other hand you can drive vans & light trucks/lorries e.g. Ford Ranger, Toyota Dyna with a car license (what we call Class 3(A/C) instead of Class 4(A))
this is that car from DMZ
So this ev is not a “electric guzzler”
No it's not outrages at all to wait 35mins LMFAO
