The #GMC #HummerEV is So Inefficient It Makes Other #ElectricTrucks Look Thrifty
Did you really expect a Hummer to be economical? The #Hummer EV only gets 1.48 miles per kWh. For comparison, the #F150Lightning has a max battery size of 131 kWh gets 2.29mi/kWh. The large-pack variant of #Rivian #R1S Dual Motor, with an 135-kWh battery gets 2.27mi/kWh.Why is Hummer EV so inefficient? Mostly its weight, tipping the scales at 9,063 pounds, 3000 of which are the battery alone.

It's the funniest thing. Without fail, whenever I go grocery shopping and load my bags into my frunk, some rando truck guy will show up to see if I need help (truck hood up = engine trouble), only to see storage instead of an engine.

"Hey brother, ya need-- what the hell?"

It almost always leads to a fun conversation about trucks and electrification. Even the hardest diesel junkies get into it. And of course I laugh my butt off all the way home. #EV #F150Lightning

Looks like the haters are out.

Cyberfrunk: quite shallow vs. cavernous #F150Lightning. #Cybertruck https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/15ikk24/cybertrucks_inside_giga_texas/

@profcarroll No response bias in this pole. 😜 For the record I drive a #Tesla Model 3 and I love the car. Only time I regret it is when I wish I had a truck. I'd have bought the #F150Lightning but mu old car was ready to quit and I just could not sit on a 21 month waiting list.

#Ford lowers prices of #F150Lightning #electrictrucks by up to $10,000

#Ford #F150Lightning gets up to $10K price cut, MSRP under $50K as ramping supply meets demand
It also important to note that at these reduced prices, most of the Ford #F150 Lightning models (excluding Platinum) may qualify for up to $7,500 in federal #taxcredit under the #InflationReductionAct. Let’s also not forget that future F-150 Lightning drivers are going to have access to #Tesla’s #Supercharger network next year.

First production #Cybertruck supposedly rolls off the line → #Ford cuts extortionate #F150Lightning pricing by $10K. #EV

Sent the missus on a minor business road trip from Portland to Seattle this morning. It's the longest distance our #F150Lightning has gone in one throw since purchase. Really glad charging is just plug-and-play with BON at EA stations. Ford's copying Tesla in this respect was a very good call. #EV

#Ford plans a high-performance #F150 electric pickup, and it’s called Flash

Just saw my first ever in-person #Ford #F150Lightning (not including my own, obviously) and I saw it... *drumroll* down the street at a neighbor's house. How about that? And it's a Pro to boot, just like mine. There you go. And then there were two.

Incredible! @Ford F-150 Lightning powered their home for 5 days!

And with that, the power is back on and Luna is drinking from the grid again. She did a great job helping us through the outage and deserves a nite off! Total time off was 1hr shy of a full 5 days. @Ford #F150Lightning

So much truth in this article, at least for myself. My first car as a teen was a '68 Ford F-250, but I've never been able to reconcile the environmental impact of an ICE truck with my lifestyle as an adult. Having the ability now to "do truck activities" with a clear conscience seems almost luxurious. Like I'm having my cake and eating it too. And FTR, I bought the Pro model because sometimes "truck activities" involve mud.

Using a public #EV charger for the first time (it's a heavy-use weekend). Surprised at how fast this goes. Also met some nice people. EVs, man. Who knew?

Just How Good for the Planet Is That Big #EV #PickupTruck?
Based on estimates from CarbonCounter by the MIT Trancik Lab, #electricvehicles typically produce less #emissions than gas vehicles when you account for battery production and charging. However, when the batteries get bigger, like they do with large electric trucks, you start to see some overlap with small cars.
