Study: 1 in 5 EV Charging Attempts Fail

As automakers continue to introduce more EVs, public charging is proving unreliable, according to the latest J.D. Power Electric Vehicle Experience Public Charging study.

The study found that 20% of EV drivers who visited a charging station did not charge their vehicles. Reasons for this ranged from chargers being inoperable to long lines, according to J.D. Power.

The frequency of unsuccessful visits to charging stations varied geographically. EV drivers in the Miami-Port St. Lucie-Ft. Lauderdale area had it worst, failing to charge their vehicles 35% of the time. The Seattle-Tacoma, Denver-Aurora, and Dallas-Ft. Worth areas each saw no charging at 29% of visits. The lowest frequency was in the Cleveland-Akron-Canton area, where drivers were unable to charge during 12% of visits.

GMC Hummer EV Official EPA Ratings Show Lowest MPGe of Any EV

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV has achieved a dubious distinction: it has the lowest MPGe rating of any EV currently on sale.

The EPA hadn't previously posted range and MPGe ratings for the Hummer EV, as its testing is designed for passenger cars and light trucks that exceeds this model's weight. The cutoff for EPA light-duty vehicle emissions and range testing is a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds, a limit the Hummer EV exceeds with a GVWR of 10,660 pounds for the pickup truck version.

General Motors has previously posted range numbers based on its own unofficial estimates.

However, some official EPA range and MPGe ratings have now been posted to cover versions that land just inside that weight allowance. With the standard tires, both the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV are rated at 314 miles of range and just 53 MPGe combined (59 MPGe city, 48 MPGe highway).

11 Hybrids to Help Cut Your Commute Costs

While electric vehicles are the talk of the town, hybrids—and their more advanced plug-in hybrid siblings—are sneaking under the radar.

With that in mind, we pulled together some of our favorite full hybrids from mainstream brands—and even a luxury make. So without further ado, check out these hybrids.
