dam right rumpy , think of the extra wear and tear on our roads for a start with the extra weight these are light trucks not cars and should be ruc'ed as that , not to mention the carnage of a ev in a crash at speed .
For example, the 2023 GMC Hummer EV, a full-size pickup, weighs more than 9,000 pounds, sporting a 2,900-pound battery. In comparison, the 2023 GMC Sierra, also a full-size pickup, weighs less than 6,000 pounds.
