Hummer Edition 1 — the only version available for the first year — will have a 329-mile range, tow up to 7,500 pounds and haul up to 1,300 pounds.

I'd love to see real world towing range. I'd bet it's between 100 and 150 miles. Then what happens after you run out of juice? I shoot for at least 500 miles a day with two or three fuel stops. On this trip to FL, not a single day has gone by that we haven't gotten stuck in multi mile backups.

I would love to see what the range of a EV pickup towing would be. I would love to tow a variety of trailers, and include hay or grain wagons. Would be interesting to track. And yes, I hope to travel 750 miles in a day (distance between home and my daughter). I do not want to spend 2 days driving each way.

The EV is not for everyone at this time - we definitely have infrastructure issues to resolve. However, I currently enjoy saving with my Bolt at the price of unleaded.
