4:55 - One of the silliest things to me is that the Hummer EV *can't tow another Hummer EV*. The tow capacity of the Hummer is less than its weight.
A Rivian could tow it, though.
That's hilarious.
The Hummer makes the Rivian look like a Maverick
It helps play up the size difference when you raise the Hummer as high as possible and lower the Rivian all the way down. For sure the Hummer is bigger but they play it up for the the laughs here.
Best comment ever
That’s what I was gonna say lol!!
Hummer look just top in ev
That is so true 😂😂😂
I love my Rivian...really enjoying it, and appreciating it more every day.
People can say what they will about the HUMMER EV's absurdity and excess, but it is an aspirational model that's going to draw a lot of people to EVs in general.
No it won’t. Haven’t driven an EV yet that I didn’t think was junk.
@@codyerickson3550 Good for you.
My hummer EV is my first EV and it is the best all round vehicle I’ve owned. I never thought I’d say that but it is incredible. It is an amazing vehicle and I’ve owned it for several months. Plus, I’m not a truck guy at all.
The fact is There is not a single competitor of the Hummer Ev by the looks, power, function.
It's a truck yet doesn't look like one.
It's a fast charging Ev.
You can remove the top like the bronco.
Longer miles in ev.
Giant car in the industry.
Most badass car ever.
Pity I can't even buy one cz no one is selling. 😭
Hands down the only EV I’d even consider getting plus I love how they kept the boxy hummer look and modernized it, they hit a home run if you ask me!
@@jakelonghorn9852 ikr !!
This is every hummer fan's dream car. I wish it wasn't sold out.
It’s been 12 days since I got that confirm configuration from Rivian and I couldn’t be more stoked about it finally being built.
I've had mine for about 2 months and it's awesomeness!! Such a swiss army knife.
Crazy world we live in, where a truck with 800+ hp is the sensible choice...
I wish my R1S would show up.
Good luck getting a hummer at 110k anytime soon. Dealers have them marked up at $170k.
plenty smart buyers have gotten written agreements before getting their Trucks and got them at MSRP. There is even a Dealership that explicitly advertises them at MSRP.
@@Nebula1701 Where is that dealer ?
I gotta get me a Hummer but can't find one.
why does the Hummer EV look like a badass truck that you would want to drive nonstop?
Pavement Princess 4x4 - a sticker should be put on the truck for most of the Rivian owners that just want to sit pretty with it
The rivian is such a lovely vehicle
It's really an awesome truck!
The Hummer is so heavy, there are literally streets it can’t legally go down! Obviously, this isn’t a daily driver. This is a toy for those with a lot of money. I will say this much, however: it has a 231 kWh battery. Assuming this has bi-directional charging, you could power the average house for two full weeks during a power outage, especially if you don’t try to power big items like the electric oven, clothes dryer, etc. That is a cool idea.
Hello Kyle … as I’m typing this ..I’m listening to another video and the fellow there is talking about Vampire Drain … saying he looses over a few weeks up to 25% of battery ?? How true is this ? I appreciate your video’s and really enjoy your Dad’s channel as well … thanks for having your channel I watch dam near everyone one of them !
Spot on except for one issue, the Hummer with its 4 wheel steering is easier to park and navigate in tight spaces than the Rivian. The 4 wheel steering has changed my world. It parks and maneuvers better than a Nissan Sentra
The Hummer is the most fun, insane and cool EV out there right now. And it’s not ugly AF like the Cybertruck, and faster too (until the tri motor variant comes out).
If you want a truck for a truck then there’s countless ‘sensible’ options, but for a lifestyle high end truck with endless cool and absurdity, the Hummer is the one by a long way. I picked one up, and don’t plan to use it that much for towing or off road, it’s just a huge amount of fun for cruising around south FL with a lot of spare capacity for whenever I need it.
Every EMT unit should have one of these just to be cool rolling up to an emergency!
Did I miss the full charge curve video?
Through my European eyes, they both look redonkulous (but I wish they were available here) :)
I daily the hummer and love it.
Wish you just placed them both at normal ride height after a few mins in the clip
I love both of these trucks…. And I would drive both. But I would get the Hummer simply because, its not a daily driver. Lol let me explain. The truck I have now is not my daily driver. Its my Malibu or my Impala. So it would be a nice addition to the family for me. I’ve never viewed trucks more as something I need to haul things or take road trips with just because I’m 5,3. I don’t like being in a vehicle off the ground like that all day. I have to get in and out of it and it’s annoying as hell for me. I would let that sit and be pretty and when I need it or simply wanna have fun, I would bring it out.
Must be a blast in the snow!

Thanks for your thoughts and knowledge
Much appreciated
Need more spec comparisons, as in what you get from one to the other . More of a break down would be nice
Being from Germany I really wonder who would buy an Hummer EV...
Starts at 3:00
Hummer EV's!!!!!!!!!! ;-D More Tech in and out....
It occurs to me that at least in some states, there are laws regarding the height of the rear bumper specifically to prevent a smaller vehicle ending up underneath yours in a rear-end collision. Fully lifted the Hummer EV's bumper has got to be 40+ inches off the pavement - would that technically be illegal in some areas?
I believe Kyle has it in Extract Mode, which isn't meant for road use. In fact, the HUMMER EV's speed in Extract Mode is limited to 12 mph.
@@newscoulomb3705 Fair enough, but is that ride height only available in that mode?
@@Smidge204 To my knowledge, yes, it's only available in Extract Mode.
You can bet GM has considered that.
@@Smidge204 Yes it's only available in that mode. It maxes out the suspension so when you're in extract mode the ride is very rough. Not an issue at 12 mph when you're trying to clear something.
There is a hummer EV charging video? I don't see it.
awesome love both
You need a very large garage to put them both in
I think the Hummmer could replace the Plaid in the short term. I know after the accident the Plaid is tainted at this point lol
Personally I would take the Rivian over the hummer any day. I don't care to find parking spots big enough to fit a tank, plus my HOA would most likely go WHOA
Hopefully EV supply and demand equalize in 2023! 🙏>__
First of all, seeing these two EV trucks reminds me that the arrival of the Tesla Cyber truck, if and when it finally appears, will be anti-climactic. The Rivian and Hummer are entertaining from a showcase perspective, however, I'm much more interested in truck/SUV versions closer to mainstream....like the Lightning. Would love to see a cheaper two-motor Rivian, an EV version of the Maverick and an EV/US version of the Suzuki Jimny.
Alyssa likes Hummers - you're a lucky man.
What is the length of the Hummer?
Yes
Rivian is by far the better daily, but the Hummer EV is comical.
I thought it was photoshopped for effect till the video started
Date the Hummer, marry the Rivian.
Subhanallah
Hummer EV is the first Monster Truck EV! And once again....10 minutes at a self service car wash before making a video so they don't look filthy? 🤷🏻♂🤷🏻♂🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂Cars on your videos are always filthy inside and out. Just like your now famous front yard. With Thanksgiving tomorrow I think of Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. And then I see this and you and think of Pigpen. 🤔🤔😂😂
It would be fun to watch 9000 pounds HUMMER EV perform on the ice.
The hummer almost doesn't make any sense except for RnD
Given the Hummer is basically a test bed for Silverado and Sierrra EVs the Hummer makes a lot of sense.
If you wanted to do an honest comparison for the viewers why did you slam the Rivians suspension and put the Hummer as high as it could go. Personally I found that annoying in a comparison video because I can't make a good comparison visually. Were you trying to make the Hummer look better than the Rivian because slamming the Rivian next to the Hummer certainly had that effect.
wow Amazing Review, that was PAID Out of Spec Reviews LOL, at the end of the day it is just a Toy for the Rich boys, it can't tow another Hummer EV 😞, it has 2x the battery size but it consume 2x more LOL
Crazy stuff. The Hummer is a fashion statement for the unfashionable. Rivian is beyond cool, even non-truck people can't help but like it. The Hummer invites madness and is sure to cause tragedy, as in a Hummer hitting a Toyota Prias.
The Hummer EV remains a display of wretched excess. We won't make it to sustainability with 9000 pound EVs.
Think of it this way, people are going to buy hummers, may as well make them electric. The other option is staying on fuel.
@@dblock8829 Probably not on the average carbon intensity of the US grid and given the 3x mineral weight/inputs. Solar panels on your roof used for charging would make it much better but the bottom line is that we need to downsize.
What a stupid car. Only in America could you take an eco-friendly thing and turn it into the opposite. So many resources wasted for this car...
Yet the Hummer EV ist more efficient than any ICE truck on the road. And more efficient than many CUIV/SUVs as well.
Hilarious juxtaposition.
Both these cars are competing in the worlds most ugliest car awards. Even a Prius looks better 😬
Each is own...I think it looks great especially at night it's super futuristic.
Da Humma is gear vs natural. I love that BEAST!!
Looks like they just slammed a body on a truck.
And get rid of all the designers.
It would have been cool 20 years ago.
But it makes no sense, if you live outside the states.
No matter how hardcore you are, people will laugh when the see it outside the states.
Kind og like a electric harley..
is there that many fat men that rides a bike in 2022, so it makes sense to put it in production
Than why is there a waiting list to get the Hummer EV, they have 90k orders already
