Hummer EV's Battery Weighs More Than a Honda Civic (theverge.com) 1
We always knew that when General Motors decided to resurrect the Hummer brand as an electric truck, we were still going to get something excessively massive, as per its namesake. But I don't think we were adequately prepared for the amount of truck bloat encapsulated in the Hummer EV. From a report: According to test data filed by GM with the Environmental Protection Agency -- which was first spotted by Car & Driver -- the GMC Hummer EV clocks in at an eye-watering 9,063 lbs. That's several pounds heavier than the 9,046 lbs first reported last summer by enthusiast site GM Trucks. But that wasn't the number that really floored me. The one that really singed my corneas was 2,923 lbs, which is the total weight of the Hummer EV's battery. That's heavier than a whole ass Honda Civic, bulkier than a Subaru BRZ, flabbier than a Ford Fiesta. That's a snack and a half.
