The good news is that despite all of the negative publicity surrounding the BOLT and the battery fires, the car has rebounded and has become a sales leader because it is comparably cheap to buy.

GM just sold 14,000 of these EV's in the third quarter of 2022.

BUT the storm awaits gM as the BOLT Class Action Suit is rolling towards a trial date.

It is being reported that Mary will tell the investors TODAY that GM will not make a profit on any EV sales until 2025 at the earliest.

One has to wonder if GM is going to survive this current economic environment and managerial decisioning. Sad.

The reviewer of the HUMMER EV LOVED IT!

So that's the good news. The bad news it that it took 2 hours and 32 minutes to charge the Hummer to full charge and this was at a charging station with a fast charger. AC charging at home could be cheaper, but it would take longer.

The Hummer has a range of 329 miles. In some instances with a charger station membership it could wind up costing less than $100 to charge.

The take away is that from a practical prospective the cost alone to charge the battery at a fast charger (2 hours and 32 minutes) could still wind up costing nearly as much as a tank of gas as currently priced, all due to the design of the Hummer's massive battery pack.

Rates are significantly cheaper if you’re a member of the charging network, which anyone driving an EV ought to be anyway.

I saw a Hummer EV in Burbank the other night. Looked cool.
