Taking my EV Humvee off-road because AMERICA! Bring some Hot and Savory Healthiness to your own life with Huel: https://my.huel.com/apriljerryrig and Huge thanks to Huel for sponsoring this video. This Electric Hummer Conversion project has been CRAZY. Putting 95 kWh worth of Tesla Battery Packs into a military HMMWV is not an easy task. Today we find out how much rang JerryRig’s hummer has – as well as what the Hummer EV is capable of off road. Join us! Would you buckle up next to me?!

I'd love to see a breakdown of the cost for a conversion like this. Aging Wheels is also working on an EV conversion on an old Ford Escape which is much smaller than an old Humvee and it would be interesting to know the price difference between different sizes & approaches to an EV conversion.
Zach if you of all people don’t put solar panels on that roof it’s gonna be hard for me to really consider the hummer yours. Self charging electric hummer? Yes please
Nice truck but my sisters 85' celica could go up that
Tire pressure?
I've done about 70 mph in an armored humvee… Sketchiest thing ever. The shaking is unreal lol
Very nice! it does look like it's sprung too heavy after the weight reduction
Meh for 2 years of work.
You made a giant turd
You put a 100 horsepower motor on a Volkswagen transmission and regulate it with golf cart batteries and do better with than what you did you should stick to breaking phones
Super pathetic and waste of money
You know like Volkswagen bug are super smart people have been doing that for 40 years
You could have saved a lot of money in put a motor on a Volkswagen transmission
Yo I can totally go up that hill with the mountain bike
only needs hub motors instead and throttle tuning
There really aren't downsides to 30 year old technology, you're just not an experienced offroad driver.
I think it would be really cool if you take what you've learned, and put it into another project to build a stupid long range EV!
48% daily recommended intake of sugar per serving. wow nice ad for "healthy" food
Nice job! Followed the whole journey. Congratulations!
Yes we want cost.
Do you think with the cost of Lithium Batteries coming down will the cost of the project come down as well? Would you choose a different battery chemistry if you could?
Break down the cost!
What’s next for the hummer? Suspension?
Aside from locking diffs, you also need WAY more articulation. Guessing that weight reduction has you driving around at full droop almost. Being able to keep the wheels planted is key. Beefy sway bars with electrically disconnectable ends would keep it safe on the road and let you get more articulation too. Or pull them out if it has any. Softer springs are definitely on your shopping list along with lockers though.
Love watching every step of this project and I’m very excited for continued work on this monster!
Question where did you shot the video ?
Yeah, that suspension is WAY too stiff. If you could have different throttle mapping presets for on-road and off-road that would be a good thing.
all you have to do is adapt it so your lady can take it out, can you imagine the look on her face? the smile would be bigger than when you built the all terrain wheelchair, lol. nice one, keep up the good work my friend.
