At Speck Buick GMC, we know that many of our clients are weighing up whether to invest in the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Truck or the 2024 Rivian R1T. After all, these trucks share many excellent features, including high-end technology and engineering, and they’re both highly desirable offerings from big auto brands.
Our professional opinion is that the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Truck is clearly the superior vehicle. Its rugged and rough profile looks commanding and high-end, and under the bonnet, the tech stack and engineering are extremely impressive, with cutting-edge software that aids driver safety with advanced automation.
With supercruise for hands-free driving and the panoramic Infinity Roof which can be removed entirely, this is a serious vehicle that will flex as a powerful workhorse or take you on all kinds of offroad adventures with ease, style, and surprising efficiency.
** Gasoline Savings
Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than gasoline powered vehicles. The average person drives between 10,000 and 15,000 miles and spends between $1,700 and $2,500 on gasoline per year.
We’ve assumed a fuel economy of 20.0 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered truck. We’ve also assumed the national average of $0.16 per kilowatt-hour for residential electricity (assumed for 100% of charging) and $3.30 per gallon for gasoline over the next three years. Tesla efficiency values are based on rivianr1t All-Wheel Drive.
Comparison gasoline vehicles are selected based on vehicle class, seating capacity and standard features. We use the EPA estimated range standard to compare efficiency data between our vehicles and a comparable gasoline alternative using each vehicle’s combined city/highway MPG and MPGe ratings. Actual range may vary based on factors such as speed, weather conditions and elevation change.
rivianr1t All-Wheel Drive consumption rating = 42.9 kWh/100mi
Comparison vehicle consumption rating = 20.0 mpg
