What are you paying to charge?

Now that the Hummer EV can be charged at most (if not all) charging stations, what are you paying to charge yours? I’ve seen costs range from $0.31 to $0.45 per kWh mentioned in different communities.

One suggestion I’ve come across is to join Tesla’s subscription service via their app for $12.99/month to get a 20% discount on charging. It could cover its own cost with a single charge! Just remember to sign up through the app to ensure your membership is recognized.

In California, charging at EVgo costs about $55 for 100 kWh. A full charge for something like the Hummer SUT 24-module would be over $110.

That might seem high at first glance, but let's put it in perspective by comparing it to a gas-powered Ram TRX.

The Ram TRX gets an average of 12 mpg. The Hummer SUT 24-module is rated for 381 miles on a full charge.

If you were driving the TRX, you'd need about 31.75 gallons of gas to cover the same 381 miles (381 miles ÷ 12 mpg = 31.75 gallons).

With Bay Area gas prices currently around $5.79 per gallon for premium fuel, that comes out to a whopping $183.83 (31.75 gallons × $5.79).

So, while a full charge for the Hummer costs around $110, you'd be saving roughly $73 compared to filling up a similarly high-performance truck like the TRX. This same comparison applies to other high-performance trucks, like the Raptor R, which also averages 12 mpg.
