Today I saw my first GMC #HummerEV on the road.

I think it’s an abomination. A paragon of waste and excess, and distilled selfishness. 9000 lb of hubris and projection. It’s way too wide, and way too tall, and carries 2.5× the kinetic energy of any other vehicle traveling at the same speed.

It’s not as derisible as the #IncelCamino, but it’s equally despicable in my eyes.

The #GMC #HummerEV is So Inefficient It Makes Other #ElectricTrucks Look Thrifty
Did you really expect a Hummer to be economical? The #Hummer EV only gets 1.48 miles per kWh. For comparison, the #F150Lightning has a max battery size of 131 kWh gets 2.29mi/kWh. The large-pack variant of #Rivian #R1S Dual Motor, with an 135-kWh battery gets 2.27mi/kWh.Why is Hummer EV so inefficient? Mostly its weight, tipping the scales at 9,063 pounds, 3000 of which are the battery alone.
