The electric car Hummer EV was shocked by its slow charging speed. The heavy pickup truck has too many batteries.
Charging a new GMC Hummer EV at home can take several days or even a week. This conclusion was made by the newly minted owner of a pickup truck. The Nextcar website writes about it.
The American says he connected his Hummer electric car to the home’s power grid on Sunday morning. At that time the battery was 49% charged and the trip computer calculated that the vehicle would be fully charged by Friday evening. So while it took 5 days to charge an electric car to 51%, it took more than a week to fully charge from 20% to 100%.
The GMC Hummer EV’s battery is huge (212 kWh) and its charging speed was only 1 kWh. This is because in the United States the Hummer electric car is charged from a 120-volt power grid. From a 220 or 380 volt outlet the speed will be twice as fast but even if it reaches 3 kWh it will still take 2 days and 8 hours.
Therefore, owners of Hummer and other electric cars with large batteries are advised to immediately install a special 11 or 22 kWh charger in their home. In this case, charging will take 20 and 10 hours, respectively.
