This makes the Rivian look small…….
Doubt we will see many of these on the U.K. roads except maybe around leafy footballer ghettos in Cheshire or Essex, for sure they won’t be on the lanes of Devon and Cornwall and probably not on the NC500 either. It’s one BIG and excessive pickup - here’s the First Edition Hummer EV on test.
 Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I can't help but think this is absolute nonsense… Such a huge and heavy vehicle will require a lot of batteries, electric cars of this size will only compound the problem of resource scarcity. “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique.

I love it.

I remember the first time I went to the US I went to the Hummer dealership, when the sales guy came out and realised I am Brit and therefore very unlikely to buy one and take it home, instead of saying have a nice day and walking off he shown me around and talked about the range of vehicles and features.

And believe me, you don’t get that at a JLR dealership.

Yep, big, ugly, brutal and two big fingers up to every woke wet out there, I applaud it.

But that’s just me. Thumbs Up

These cars, like Hummer H1´s and even the F150 Lightning just don´t work in the UK or Europe. In the US and other XXL countries, they apparently do.

Amoungst the most shocking facts about this new Hummer is its weight. 9063 lbs, 4111 Kg.
Alone its battery weighs 2923 lbs / 1326 Kg
