How does the Hummer EV handle extreme heat?

Hey all!

I am going on a trip soon with my Hummer and I will be driving through some pretty hot areas. I am a bit worried about how the heat might affect EV's performance and battery life. I would appreciate some thoughts, please!

I’ve driven my Hummer in hot areas, and you are right the heat can affect battery performance and range. I will advice you keep an eye on the battery temperature, park in the shade when possible, and plan trips during cooler times of the day.

I'm getting about 1.6 miles per kwh, and I'm definitely making the most of that acceleration! Haven’t gone on a road trip yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. I’m from Phoenix btw.

Hot weather can impact battery performance, causing reduced range. Keep the car cool, park in shade, and monitor temperatures.
