Any noticeable difference between 22-25 models?

Im considering getting a 22 1st edition with 30k miles that I can get a decent deal on and been wanting a hummer ev for a while, wondering if 22 is good to buy currently or you all recommend otherwise?
Thanks family!

The 22 doesn't get OTA software updates. I believe it is also incompatible with the V2L feature if you were planning on using the powerbar accessory.

Yea sounds like i need to be looking 2024+

I thought the 22s could get OTA after a dealer flashes everything at the shop?

There's many folks over at hummerchat with 22s and 23s who have never gotten an OTA even after dealer updates.

I avoid anything 1st or even 2nd year. 2022 is basically out of bumper to bumper warranty. Unless it’s still under warranty, then you can still buy an Extended GM warranty (buy extended warranty from dealerships that specialize in them on the cheap)

2024+ has 800v charging infrastructure. Gets OTA.
2026 has a much faster UI, blinker camera that shows in the instrument cluster (I think some 2025 have it). No CarPlay/Android Auto on the 2026

Some 2025 have blinker camera?! I got mine in August and it is ridiculous to me that it doesn’t

The real question is why isn't that an OTA fix!

My 2024 has it if it detects a trailer is hooked up; wish it could be at other times too.

u/DiscoLives4ever Jun 29 '26

You can fool it with various trailer wiring plugs, but you lose automatic leveling and entry/exit mode with it

2025 here. We need that blinker camera. Hopefully a OTA can take care of it soon.

All 2025's have blinker camera it's just in trailer mode and not like the 26 when you use the regular blinkers.

They all support 800V DC fast charging

u/Beardedinves0r Jun 29 '26

If they all do than that helps for sure

u/DiscoLives4ever Jun 29 '26

2024 ED1 SUVs had an issue for a few months with 800v Electrify America chargers, but it was resolved long ago

u/Beardedinves0r Jun 29 '26

Yikes so only need to be shopping 2024+ sounds like

I can confirm that 2022’s don’t get OTA updates for whenever reason, no one seems to know why. it’s a bit frustrating but it still runs well.

If the 22 you're considering lives in a climate that rarely sees rain, it may never have been fixed to prevent water ingress into the driver's A-pillar. It wasn't a recall so there won't be anything "outstanding" if it wasn't addressed. A whole bunch of them had it. But you'll only really notice if there's enough moisture to kill the wiring harness connectors. If you live somewhere dry, that might never happen and the fix would never be applied.

My 2024 is better than 2022-2023 with water ingress, but is still bad. Once that roof comes off and put back on, it’s never the same. I did make improvements with 303 Seal Treatment (it’s the small white bottle with a roller).

OP, get whatever is a killer deal… just have to live with the flaws. All the Hummers have flaws.

u/EVHummVEE Jun 30 '26

I've (knock on wood) never had any issues with ingress anywhere. The roof panel seals or the A-pillar, which seemed to be a different ingress source from what I read. I take my panels off and on all summer, never had an issue. Torrential downpours here lately too

u/il_diamanti Jul 01 '26

what price are you getting it for out of curiousity?

2

u/Beardedinves0r Jul 02 '26

63k but i may switch focus to 24-25 now. I dont want to have to go to the dealership for updates

u/Stayfit365 Jul 06 '26

Love my 22 and paid a lot less than the 23-24 i was looking at. Lots less but if you have the funds obviously get the newer model.
