You would think. Sadly this is with a “level 2” 220 charger

Yikes! That's not as fast as I would have assumed but unless your traveling then you wouldn't normally have the battery as low as 15%.

At the beginning of this thread was talk about 10 min charge for 100 miles… What happened to that sorcery? Lol

Don’t mind the look, I feel like every EV is chasing that range vs charge rate and really is all over the spectrum, wife has been pushing my towards 4xe but it’s a lame attempt an a hybrid in my opinion based on how little electric and how crappy mileage ect when battery is depleted. But I will say that is a big pill to swallow for the Hummer.

The thing about EV's that I'm curious about is, after 7 years and multiple recharges, how much does the gigantic battery cost to replace? If it's like cell phones, eventually that 300 mile range will be like 65 miles.
And, I'm pretty sure Russia and China are the global source for lithium. Probably better find some here or get over being pissed at Putin.

It's a crazy big pill to swallow. That said, I would wait until 2024 if you want an electric Jeep. It's coming but will probably require swallowing a pretty big pill too.

Yea I bet It it will be too. I don’t personally want one being it’ll be a weekender/trails, And prefer to stick with gas for now. Maybe it would make a nice edition to the garage road though if she really wants something electric.

My problem would be the longer distance driving. Wife and I just had a friend drive from Philly to Connecticut In their Tesla. Had to stop and charge in New York at a super station for an hour. Got into Connecticut with 20 miles left. Had to find a super charger the next morning, the do it again on their way home.
with the hummer or any other car, you can’t use a Tesla super charge station currently. So your stuck waiting god knows how many hours for your vehicle to fully charge again before you can go another 300ish miles.

Me too. And, average time involved. Including waiting in line. And, if it's winter and cold out, does your heater work? Does using the heater while you wait slow the charging process?

How long does it take with a "level 3" 440 volt charger? Or the "level 10" which clips directly to the high-tension transmission lines using a helicopter?
