GMC Hummer EV Electric Truck Charging Costs Might Surprise YouCharging a Hummer EV from zero to 100% is pretty epic considering it has a 200+ kWh battery pack. How much might it cost you for those electrons? Check it out! 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. 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
