While perusing the interwebs, stumbled upon used Hummer EV's, curiously I started looking and was amazed that you can get very nice examples with 10k miles +/- in the 60's now. Seems just yesterday they were all over $80-100k+. Wondering how much the battery setup is going to play out in the future... Knowing just about nothing on battery vehicles, it seems weight would affect longevity?

Anyways, made me wonder about my 1987 Porsche 930 (turbo, factory widebody)I sold back in the early 2000's for in the 30's and now a $150k vehicle (that one pains me that I sold).... However I WILL find out one day if the H2 in original form will get to be a $$$$$ vehicle. Seeing the pricing of the Hummer EV getting crushed- I may have to get one in a couple more years- lol, however, I will die with my Fusion Orange 2006 H2.

Unsure how many others have noticed this steep drop in pricing, This continues next year you most likely could be an excellent low mile EV in the 50's!

 

I've followed the drop in prices, even if they hit the $30,000 level, not so sure I would want one......not a fan of the electric vehicle revolution (scam), I'm still hoping Gm puts the 6.2L with the 10speed automatic in them in the near future, I would buy one for sure.

 

Still not interested with the price drop while keeping in mind these batteries are COSTLY TO REPLACE!
Not much savings vs gas-powered! Cali also has a gas-powered ban in the works.

A Hummer EV has a 212.7 kWh battery capacity, and the total cost to fully charge it depends heavily on your electricity rates, charging method, and charging losses. A full charge at home using a Level 2 charger could cost $20 to $50 or more, while a DC fast charge at a public station could cost over $100 and even approach $150-$170 depending on the station's per-minute fees and the vehicle's charging speed.

Factors Affecting Charge Cost

• Battery Size: The Hummer EV has a massive 212.7 kWh battery.

• Electricity Rates: Rates vary significantly by location (state and provider).
• Charging Method:
  • Home Charging (Level 2): A Level 2 charger at home offers the most cost-effective way to charge.
• DC Fast Charging: Public fast chargers are faster but much more expensive per kWh, and some also charge a per-minute fee on top of the energy cost.
•  
• Charging Losses: Energy is lost during the charging process. The more energy you add to the charger, the more will be in the battery, but the total energy consumed is always higher than the energy delivered to the battery.
• State of Charge (SoC): You may choose to only charge to 80% or 90% to save money and time, as the final 10-20% can take longer to charge.

Cost Examples

• At Home (Level 2):
  If your home rate is $0.15/kWh, a full charge would be about $32, not including charging losses.

• Public DC Fast Charging:
  A 2022 study found a full charge could cost over $100. Another study noted that depending on rates and the charging speed at the station, a full charge could cost $150 or more.

How to Estimate Your Cost

1. Find Your Electricity Rate:

Look up the cost per kWh from your utility provider or the price per kWh at a public charging station.

• Calculate Energy Needed:
• The Hummer EV's full capacity is 212.7 kWh. For a full charge, add an extra 5-10% for charging losses.
• Multiply and Adjust:
• Multiply your rate by the total energy needed, then add any applicable taxes or per-minute fees.
