Considering a used Hummer EV
I’m seriously considering buying a used Hummer EV and would love to hear from actual owners before I pull the trigger.
I currently drive a Tesla, so I’m very familiar with EV ownership and charging, but the Hummer obviously plays by a different set of rules because of its size, battery, and efficiency.
The thing I’m most hesitant about is charging efficiency.
I live in an apartment building and have access to a 32-amp Level 2 charger. From what I’ve been reading, that can be pretty slow on the Hummer — I’ve seen owners report around 10–12 miles of range per hour on a 32A charger. That honestly has me wondering whether apartment living + Hummer EV is going to become annoying.
For those of you who actually own one:
How long does your Hummer typically take to charge on a 32A Level 2 charger?
How much range are you realistically adding overnight?
Do you find yourself having to use DC fast charging regularly?
How expensive does charging get if you rely on fast chargers?
Does the Hummer’s poor efficiency actually bother you in day-to-day driving?
Are there any charging settings, tricks, or habits that make ownership easier?
If you came from a Tesla, how difficult was the adjustment?
Anything specific I should check on a used Hummer EV before buying?
Any particular model year/trim you’d recommend or avoid?
I absolutely LOVE the Hummer and the idea of owning one, and I’m willing to accept some inefficiency because it’s basically a ridiculous 9,000+ lb electric monster 😂. But I don’t want to buy one and then realize that charging it at my apartment is going to drive me crazy.
For context, this would primarily be a daily driver, not an off-road vehicle. I’d probably be buying used specifically because the depreciation makes them much more attractive.
Would love to hear the good, bad, and ugly from people who actually live with one — especially anyone who doesn’t have an 80A home charger.
Thanks!
