Thats awesome the charge was free, but let's use the numbers to find out the future cost. The Hummer charged from 7% to 51% for $37.41 according to the EA charger. So $0.85 for each 1%. At that rate it would cost $79 to charge the Hummer to 100%. Hummer cost per mile: $79 ÷ 123 miles = $0.64 per mile.
Cummins cost per mile: $105 ÷ 211 miles = $0.49 per mile

I know my driving experience is more mixed than some as I have driven OTR semi-truck units and regular gas vans and cars for different jobs. I had one job that took me from Peru, Indiana to Hickman, Kentucky. I gassed up in Hickman, Kentucky (picking up a semi driver) and drove to the Flying J Truck stop in Effingham, Illinois (where the truck was supposed to be) then to the TA Travel Center in Clayton, Indiana (where the truck was actually left). Roughly 331 miles in a 1977 Chevy Monte Carlo with a small block 308 (yes the engine had been replaced by a previous owner) on 3/4 of a tank for a 19 to 20-gallon gas tank.
I had to use my PV as there were no company vans in northern Indiana to get this driver, I made some good money for that trip and the company paid for the gas. It's amazing what a little TLC and new spark plugs can do for fuel mileage at times.

Nicely done. Straightforward comparison and very interesting. The math review was perfect. I have driven that route many times. I was surprised by the low payload on the Hummer. My previous truck, a GMC Canyon Denali, has about the same payload. I ran the numbers and decided I needed a new Silverado with 500 lbs. more payload for our camper. I went with gas, but I really like the Duramax.

These electric trucks have been nothing but disappointments. The Lightning was pretty horrible at everything and the Hummer has been pretty bad too so far. Let's be real, these electric trucks are for people who just drive to the office and Starbucks and don't really need a truck in the first place.

The Ram costs half as much. The Ram diesel has 2.5x the range. The Ram can fill up completely in 10 minutes. The Ram can pull in and pull out to fill up. The Ram does not need to un-hook and re-hook the trailer for fueling. The EV pumps, if occupied already, may take awhile to be free for use.

As someone who has towed a 30' 10k lbs Toy Hauler from Florida to Alaska round trip, I'd like to stress how important range is to lowering stress in towing. Having the range to make it to your destination without having to refuel hooked up is a game changer in towing. I have a Cummins Ram and added a 90 gallon DOT legal Aux fuel tank and can easily tow 1100 miles without refueling. Granted that's a little overkill for most people, but I was on the ALCAN in March. Adding a 30 gal Aux tank will give a modern diesel around a 500-600 mile range towing, which is more than most people want to go in one day anyway.
