While the off-roading prowess of the original Hummer was certainly one of its most notable attributes, its fuel consumption was also a highly debated topic, as efficiency wasn’t exactly its forte. With the revival of the Hummer nameplate thanks to the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer EV SUV, here’s a peek at the Hummer EV’s energy consumption ratings.
As with most electric vehicles, the both Hummer EV variants are more efficient in low-speed, city applications, boasting 59 mpge. With a combined rating of 53 mpge in the two most efficient configurations, both the Hummer EV Pickup 3X and Hummer EV SUV 3X feature a maximum range of 314 miles on a full charge.
| Hummer EV Pickup 3X | Hummer EV Pickup 3X With Extreme Off-Road Package | Hummer EV SUV 3X | Hummer EV SUV 3X With Extreme Off-Road Package | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City energy consumption, kWh/100 miles | 57.6 | 61.0 | 57.6 | 61.0 |
| Highway energy consumption, kWh/100 miles | 70.5 | 75.0 | 70.5 | 75.0 |
| Combined energy consumption, kWh/100 miles | 63.4 | 66.9 | 63.4 | 66.9 |
| City fuel economy equivalent, mpge | 59 | 55 | 59 | 55 |
| Highway fuel economy equivalent, mpge | 48 | 45 | 48 | 45 |
| Combined fuel econony equivalent, mpge | 53 | 50 | 53 | 50 |
| Driving range, miles | 314 | 298 | 314 | 298 |
Of course, while these numbers may look promising, it’s worth noting that a previous study found that the Hummer EV is actually more harmful for the environment than a Chevy Malibu due to the amount of energy it consumes.
For those who may not quite understand what the mpge rating indicates, its essentially relates the amount of energy expended by alternative fuel vehicles – like electric vehicles or hybrids – to that of traditional gas-powered vehicles. Basically, mpge factors in precise amount of electric energy that’s equal to the energy in one gallon of gasoline, and uses that calculation to give a rating.
As a reminder, both the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer EV SUV derive motivation from GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors, with several different motor setups available depending on the trim level selected.
Under the skin lies the wide-body variant of the GM BT1 platform – the narrow-body version underpins the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV – while production takes place exclusively at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan.

Why would anyone compare this to a Malibu and say it uses more energy? Of course it does. Compare it to a truck and it uses 75% less.
I’m confused at your chart. If the PICKUP has 24 battery modules and the SUV 20 battery modules and equivalent versions of each get the same energy consumption ratings. Then how is it possible that they have the same quoted range of 314 miles or 298 miles with the off-road package?
I’m happy to see more EVs on the road, however why the public wants these monsters escapes me. You could put two small affordable EVs on the road for what it takes to make one of these.
Maybe people do not want small vehicles? Especially at $30k + a pop
If the energy is made by renewable energy then it’s not more harmful than a malibu. That’s where the country is moving to. Greener energy sources.
Electrify America 😉
Why don’t they just state “mileage” in concise and clear English:
Watts per mile, & mi/kWh is better.
This BEAST is 700 WATTS/mi, or 1.4mi/kWh… Guess that’s ok for a 10,000 lb beast.
Telsa Semi is 1700 W/mi, or 0.6mi/W… but GVW is 80,000lbs!
An InsideEV (Jun 2023) report of 70 EV vehicles: 3mi/kWh seems todays average.
This Hummer uses 220kWh to “fill it up”, or $120 to “fill it up”! (100% =314miles).
… about the same $$ as my 3.0 Yukon fill up with 600mi range.
… more 5 times daily usage of electricity (40kWh) in my home.
My EV6 Wind is consistently 4.4 mi. per kWh. It is rated at 310 mi., but often exceeds 330
miles. It is costing 75% less in “fuel costs”….not bad, eh?

gross fumes.
….and I get a “thumbs down” because………?
You assume you’re driving over 300 miles a day. Also if you charge at home it will not cost $120 to “fill up”.
You are all over the place. First the semi (according to elon, who I believe about as much as I believe trump weighs 215) went 500 miles on 1000KWH pack, or 2KWH/mi not 1.7 Second where do you live. 120 for 220KWH is .54c/KWH. I think I am around .15c/KWH. The only thing I agree on is yes, 40KWH for summer in a place like TX is around average, and EV’s for home owners that drive substantial drives daily is going to have a significant effect on transformers and wiring in residential areas. To the point of requiring doubling or even tripling capacity for areas they also take away nat gas furnaces.
Yes! Just state miles per kWh and call it a day.
If you are at $0.2 per kw at home that would be 22$ dill up.
Key point is it should be easier to compare mileage performance for all EV’s.
miles/kWh is excellent.
Maybe I am, but not physically over the place. Just live in PG&E country in CA.
Tarriff schedule: TOU-C is $0.44 & $0.54/kWh…
Newsome country! Land of $5 & $6 gasoline…
1-Pepsi just reports usage efficiency of 1.7kWh/mi for their fleet of 21, real world #’s.
(There Ya go … Musk was conservative by 20% 😉 Agree not all loaded at 80K.
(Point was 1.7 & 80K is pretty respectable compared to 7+mi/kWh & 10,000lb for the Hummer.)
2-Oops, Ur right; my error, 220kWh will cost just $95 (Off-Peak) … sorry.
52mi/day & 6 days is 312miles & needs 220kWh. $0.44 x 220kWh is $95. That’s 22hrs @10kW/h (std 50A circuit.)
3-PGE: Peak Gen is $0.29; Dist. is $0.16; & All the 11 different misc. charges total $0.17.
Off-Peak is $0.43.
FWIW I gen 19MW, & use 15MW so it all “free”, after 8 years… e-Energy neutral & extra for another EV.
I care for all of us, who rates are “controlled” by the PUC.
4-And your last point is what I am implying…
All “all EV” world needs a grid capacity far beyond what the US generation & distribution system is capable of.
…and AC units, and gas stoves… and now the “ceiling fan”!
But I digress… I’d believe Musk, long before Newsome, Biden, Govt./PUC.
Facts and facts. So insideevs is reporting the 500 mile runs are carrying potato chips. So truck is basically empty. They also report 100 mile trips local to sacramento when carrying beverages. So my guess is loaded they are getting 100 miles IN TOWN which is not all that great. But you keep believing X. How is that fight with Zuck coming?
So let me get this straight. It takes 70 KWH to go 100 miles with the base SUV version. If I charged at home paying our 2o cents per KWH price it would cost $14.00 per 100 miles. Now our diesel 2022 Chevrolet Suburban gets 28 MPG on the highway and would use 3.57 gallons of diesel to go 100 miles. So with diesel hanging around $3.99 a gallon in my area it would cost $14.28 for 100 miles of fuel. At 28 cents more per 100 miles I will stick with my Suburban 🙂 LOL. I like the 3 minute fill ups and 750+ miles of range per tank. Also one thing to consider. On the road you will pay a hell of a lot more than 20 cents per KWH at a public charging station.
That makes you smart, except for the “carbon footprint” part. It matters
Hard to know what the carbon footprint comparison looks like unless you see the fuel used for the electric generation.
Electric or ICE, if you’re going to drive a bus it’s going to cost you.
If you’re driving around town ( not constant highway speeds) EVs are a lot more efficient. So you’ll go a lot further on a charge than 100 miles/70kWh. Reset your trip meter in your suburban and drive around for a week to see what your average speed is. If it’s under 60 mph you’re going to easily beat 100 miles/70kWh.
And your charge cost could vary if your provider has different rates at night.
No one mentions time efficiency. Factoring in the time it takes to recharge that humongous battery, how fast can a GMC HUMMER EV SUV, get you to a destination 700 miles away vs a SIERRA or BOLT EUV or even my 11yo SONIC LS? I can get there in 12 hours, stopping for restroom breaks, two sit-down meals and one refuel at 400 miles. Also, how many BOLTs or TRAVERSEs can be produced from the resources poured into a single GMC HUMMER EV SUV? Think about it.
I just “thought about it”….
EVs 100%. “Time is money” for some folks. EVs are so chill that it is a great time to just relax. What a concept…
Relaxing on the road is nice if you have the time. The primary complaint I get from my EV friends that travel in them is finding a fast charger that works. And/or finding a fast charger that works and doesn’t have a line.
i like this truck for no reasion
No reason to like it. What good is it? I wouldn’t dare take it off pavement, much less where there is no charging.
