GMC Hummer EV Electric Truck Charging Costs Might Surprise You

Today's video, which was put together by our good friend Kyle Conner at, is strictly related to how much it costs to charge the Hummer EV from zero to 100 percent.

The GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 has a battery pack that's over 200 kWh, which is one of the largest in the industry. In fact, many of today's EVs have battery packs that are well under 100 kWh, or about one-third as large as the Hummer's, though there are many exceptions. As EVs get larger – pickup trucks, three-row SUVs, delivery vans, etc. – the battery packs need to be larger to ensure they have a respectable driving range. In addition, high-performance EVs with quick acceleration like the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, and Mercedes-Benz EQS have battery packs that come in at 100 kWh or more, but that's still only half what you'll find in the Hummer EV.offers two battery sizes, one that's around 100 kWh and one that's around 130 kWh.

At any rate, now that you have a better understanding of EVs and battery pack sizes, you'll probably agree that it only makes sense the Hummer EV is more expensive to charge to full than its rivals. Kyle pulls into a DC Fast Charging station with an"empty" Hummer EV to charge it to full. Keep in mind that the cost to fill the electric truck will be a completely different story if you're charging it at home. Home charging is significantly less expensive, and if you own a Hummer EV, you should plan to charge it at home as often as possible. More on this to follow.

Normal only does 10% or 20% to 80% when fast DC charging. $100 to charge a 200kwh battery pack from 0 to 100 away from home. IMHO isn't unusual. That's close to 50 cents per kwh. Yet buying a $100k+ vehicle then compain about fel cost is ludicrous

What did surprise me is that you can charge that monster in wheels from empty to full for 16$ Equivalent to 4 gallons of petrol? I mean a small car does 40 miles a gallon? 16$ is then only something like 160miles of range, and the monster on wheels can almost run twice as long.
