This is true of every vehicle. Whether gas, diesel, electricity, hydrogen, or any other fuel source. You will be inputting as much energy as the car consumes.
That's like belittling your small block because you hafta keep putting gas into it.

Welp, start the countdown for when LS swap guys start sounding like carb guys complaining about new technology...
The LS guys don't have much to worry about, yet. This one is using a motor out of a Bolt which is rated for 200hp and 266 lb/ft of torque.
Admittedly, that's pretty comparable to a wheezy smog era 350 with a carb. We all know the potential for electric motors is massive. It could be a killer ride.

Google perpetual motion machine... not possible in the real world. Adding an alternator to a wheel increases the energy required to drive that wheel more than the energy generated due to friction.
I just cant get over the soundtrack (lack there of). I need the v8 rumble.
I guess recorded engine sounds that change with % of force on gas pedal would help and simulate the reving of conventional motor. Still not the same. On a positive, I guess it would be much easier to change the sound of your truck (download a new sound file).

I’d download a weed eater. Or a gorilla. Ya. Gorilla sounds.

On a serious note. . . If you drift this Hummer, will it be an electric slide?

2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV Debuts With Big Power, Big Luxury, and Big Sizea
This electric SUV is just plain big.
Glad they are starting to produce electric vehicles the average person can afford.
I guess with almost any new vehicle purchase there is some level of vanity but anyone who buys that is buying vanity at its highest level.

They probably figured out some formula based on the average size of the human pupil in their eyes. Who knows what the multiplier is though..
And to think GM tried to give the Hummer brand name to the Chinese a few years ago... 
I assume it started out as a result of military use. Smaller openings being harder to shoot through and easier fill with thick bulletproof glass.
That K5-E has been done plenty of times. Once the big manufacturers start calling it “hot-rodding” and non-gear heads take notice, it makes it easier for GOV to pass laws killing what we currently know as “modifying or personalizing” and it takes ACTION to actually keep when we have. (ex: RPM Act)
Welcome to the U.S.CA. Where everything you like has to be fought for.
I actually feel bad for clicking on that K5-E link. Like I’m a stat interested in it now

How hard to swap an LS into it?

Rather have the 3.8 cummins.
Gotta have the 6.7 Cummins because we all know rock crawling takes 450 hp and 1,000 pounds of torque.
