He didn't show it in the video, but the rear glass and back can lift out, and the seats fold flat so it can turn into a bed right up to the front seats. Can probably hold a few spare tires, even of that size.
There's one good thing about this Hummer: people can buy it instead of the ICE Hummer, and produce far less pollution when driving (note: tailpipe emissions, not total/overall emissions, although this EV also will be better on that metric compared to the ICE Hummer). Some people just need a way to flaunt their self-importance and money... that cannot be avoided. So, if it's going to happen, it's probably better they do it with an oversized EV, rather than an oversized ICE vehicle. At least GM have only sold a couple-thousand of these beasts (and it's been out for most of the year, iirc), and only in the US, so it's not exactly a high-volume vehicle :p
It's an aspirational vehicle. It tells the public that you don't have to be an effeminate nerd to drive an EV. Remember, Americans have never truly embraced little hatchbacks -- ICE or otherwise.
Absolutely agree. Unfortunately there are a lot of people (cough, middle aged white men) in the world (cough, USA) who absolutely need a huge over the top truck (cough, because they’re ashamed of their true sexuality and they think owning a truck somehow confirms that they’re heterosexual).
That's what I think when I see any electric SUV tbh. We don't even need to have private cars at all. When most journeys in cars are undertaken by one person even an Ioniq 5 seems like a waste of batteries next to the Microlino.
If it convinces a decent amount of people that EVs are cool I think it’s worth it. I think of it like a halo car for a certain type of American, most won’t get it but they might be more willing to buy another ev because this exists.
As someone who used to off-road now and then, I like some of the features for that, though I doubt most who buy this won't take it off-road too much.. The cameras' would save jumping in and out of the vehicle when you don't have a spotter in a tricky situation. However, with that said, I'm hoping my first EV in an Aptera.
I wish they'd add a couple of parallel laser-pointers to each camera, so U can know the scale of things you're seeing under there. It'd double as extra bling too.

But as a large 4x4 pickup, you can't drive to the same speed limits as cars in the UK. It will be limited to 50mph on a country road, 60mph on dual-carriageways and only on the motorway will you legally be allowed to hit 70mph.
Well at 4 tons you can't drive that on a standard British license (unless your license is a few decades old). You'll need to get a different categorgy of license. That's true in the uk and the eu. So at least Hummer drivers should be better than average, just because they need more advanced driving licenses.
The only good thing I can say about this... Thing... is that it will put a few more people who would have otherwise never considered buying an EV behind the drivers seat of one. And the somewhat decent range, offroad abilities and insane acceleration showcases to those people that an EV doesnt have to be a compromise vehicle. So even though its likely way worse for the environment than many hybrids, it is at least a good piece of PR. Tesla was the first company to make EVs into aspirational vehicles, and GM has perhaps perfected the concept of an aspirational EV for a very niche market. Soo... Bravo I guess?
Exactly right. This is targeted at the types of men who drive the most miles annually. In vehicle's like this which get the worst overall mpg. Something like this is driven 12-15,000+miles a year at 6-10mpg max(ram trx and raptor r are both single digit mpg in average use. So everyone of these sold could take several thousand gallons of gas or diesel consumption off the roads. Plus eliminate the particulate emissions, noise and heat, 3 average oil changes of 6-8quarts each and other savings vs ICE. It's like the math for the idiots who claim every tesla semi sold is 10x less model y or model 3s sold. Except those class of cars get 25-30mpg on average and are driven about 10-12,000 miles a year. So 50,000 tesla semi trucks replacing 50k average diesel semi trucks all getting 6.5mpg if that and doing over 100k a year?

(Okay, there's more to the H2 than that, but it is at its core the same platform as the Chevy Tahoe, where the H1 was a purpose-built platform just for the H1 / military Humvee. The only relation to the H1 is the fact that AM General built it from Suburban frames in AM General's own plant, the same one used to build the H1. (Technically it's the GMT820 platform, which was used for the H2, Tahoe, Caddy Escalade, and GMC Yukon; the H2 also used some components from the GM 2500 series heavy duty trucks.)

@@LG123ABC Oh really? Of course I do. But that's not what's on this vehicle at the moment. And there's more to it than just changing a few socket connections. I thought it was funny that such a hubristic machine isn't currently capable of rapid charging at all.
@@danielburges8176 In the US, the Hummer can do 800 volt DC fast charging using up to 350-kilowatt fast chargers -- which will give it 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes. Even using a Level 2 charger at home will allow owners to add 16 miles of range per hour. I'm sure the appropriate modifications would allow similar results in Europe.

Takes about 27years to charge

My inner 13 Yr old is fighting with my inner adult, because holy hell is it cool, but holy shit this should not exist.
Jack wants one.
So, being over 3.5 tonnes you couldn’t drive this on UK roads with a standard car licence…
This car is so wide, if you look at your passenger, you can actually see the curvature of the earth.
I have been wondering how to tell America I have a really small package BUT I wanted to do it in a green way. Thanks GM for really stepping out of the box!
😂😂😂
Nicely glossing over the fact that the charge port on that ludicrous jalopy isn't compatible with any rapid charger connector standard currently available in Europe. Can imagine charging that on a 2kW granny cable will take a LONG time, lol!
You realize charge ports can be swapped out, right?
@@LG123ABC Oh really? Of course I do. But that's not what's on this vehicle at the moment. And there's more to it than just changing a few socket connections. I thought it was funny that such a hubristic machine isn't currently capable of rapid charging at all.
You can get CCS1/CCS2 adapters, but I don't think that is enough to sell it to either one of us. :D
@@danielburges8176 In the US, the Hummer can do 800 volt DC fast charging using up to 350-kilowatt fast chargers -- which will give it 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes. Even using a Level 2 charger at home will allow owners to add 16 miles of range per hour.
I'm sure the appropriate modifications would allow similar results in Europe.
Look at 4:04. Its leaking oil already!
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!!!
Size is about the same as a Land Rover 110. I guess if you Ev converted one with a huge battery you could get a bit of a monster though not as heavy as this one.
Sorry, Blazer, smallish! Last time I saw one Blazers were ginormous!
And you don't need a trucker driving license to drive the two Taycans in Europe.
A car you should park in a small English village to provide backup power. Forget driving it on small English country lanes...
so 212 kwh battery... what's the charging speed?... how long to get 80% Charge?
@@mspenelopy 100 miles in around 10 minutes (800 volts/350 Kilowatt Charger). Thanks for playing!
Of course, this car will be from Clive Sutton.
Nutz. 😖
Arnie prob already pre-ordered and will get the first one off the assembly line. Its crazy, but I'd get one.
He's probably already dropped a V8 into his
No subtitles!
BTW Jack is sporting a fleece salvaged from his local college
Imagine trying to build an EV that would be terrible for the environment. Like, as bad as possible. This is the GMC Hummer EV.
Still better than any ICE vehicle out there. Not everyone that's interested in EVs is a hatchback nerd.
But this car IS efficient - at least compared to the cars this car competes with, and with those people who'd usually buy big ICE pickups
I wonder how much co2 was created during the manufacture of this ridiculous thing?
@@pugrallye23
Be fair, Jack's not a bad bloke😜
@@LG123ABC Is that even true though? Average efficiency EVs are better than average efficiency ICE vehicles, but at the ends of the spectrum, Im quite sure there are hybrids that are better to drive for an entire decade than this monstrosity.
Finally a sane person reviewing the Hummer... Thank you Jack!
While true, too many internet personalities hyped the HUMMER for the algorithm.
But Transport Evolved just recently published a video on this, and they're plenty realistic about it.
@@toyotaprius79 yes, one of the very few honest reviews about this travesty.
Bobby would batter me if I wasn't honest about it!
MKBHD did a proper review
"Run on compressed baby seals!" lol
Shhh, don't want to give Toyota executives another idea on how to avoid making a decent BEV ...
@@RojCowles 😂
Jack is super character waiting to see him in a movie or is first ALBUM if he can't sing then he could rap
@@RojCowles Toyota did make a sort of Hummer copy, so they might! Although at these dimensions, who needs to compress the baby seals? Use them full size!
How nice to see nice good, cheap, small, light, and efficient EV!
The inner city transport solution we've been waiting for!
People in US: I'll take two please!
Finally a car that make Jack look to be a normal height....
See, I thought that having to roll his trouser legs up was the way to make him look like a shortarse ;-)
The lighting is so good on this studio, and the colourway & textures of the car are so clean it really seems like Jack shot everything on a greenscreen and then added a rendered car in post, further supporting the sentiment that this car just has to be a concept and not a real thing.
Our cameramen are just that good!
@@JackScarlett1 The ~12:40 shot definitely does it. Really shows the scale of that absolute chonker, and your two relflections on the car are a nice touch!
Biggest waste of money I've seen in a long time👎
