The Hummer EV is an interesting beast. 6-figure price tag and similarly sized to the Rivian R1S. I’ve yet to see one on the road, but it certainly feels less problematic than the gas-guzzling version.
There’s always the higher tire particulate contribution to the microplastics problem, which is supposedly much worse depending on vehicle weight, which is also worse because electric vehicle batteries are heavy
The EV Jeep Wrangler is also interesting. They advertise it much different than I’m used to seeing most electric vehicles advertised. Instead of focusing on being environmentally friendly, not using gas, or being a tech-forward car they instead advertise that you can maximize power output to all wheels while off-roading. But I suppose this is just the natural progression of the electric car… Start niche and then expand.

You had me excited there for a moment that a fully EV Wrangler had dropped, but it’s only a plug-in hybrid. :(
Apologies, you’re correct the Wrangler is a plug-in hybrid and the Wagoneer is the electric model.
