I see a few EV versions on the road. (I know OP was asking about used ones from the olden days) [GMC HUMMER EV Pickup Truck and SUV | Electric Vehicles | GMC](https://www.gmc.com/electric/hummer-ev/pickup-trucks-suvs?ppc=GOOGLE_2052318160_20868827942_156829401037_301601982640&d_src=313715&d_adsrc=3876784&d_campaign=20868827942&d_site=GOOGLE&d_adgroup=156829401037&d_keyword=electric+hummer&gclick=CjwKCAjwmJjSBhB-EiwAkZgxi9CI-jQm1Rf6rVa5b_xu7eoQeNg3xScbdPdIUU4oaialRAnwQQoZShoCl7cQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20868827942&gclid=CjwKCAjwmJjSBhB-EiwAkZgxi9CI-jQm1Rf6rVa5b_xu7eoQeNg3xScbdPdIUU4oaialRAnwQQoZShoCl7cQAvD_BwE) ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Are you sure? In the 80s, 20-year-old cars were from the 60s. 1960s cars looked very different from 1980s cars. But my 20-year-old car looks much like modern cars. Yes, pretty sure. I still see things like say a Focus or a Camry from the 00s, but they don’t seem as common as cars from the 60s were in the 80s. Now, I live in Texas, where cars don’t usually rust as rapidly as they do in other areas. So that could be why vehicles from the 60s were long lived here. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > They also got horrible gas mileage; while anyone paying that much for a new car probably doesn’t care about the cost to fill the take, someone buying it used probably would be more likely to care about the operating costs. I think’s that’s the key reason: people who can afford the gas can also afford a newer car. ---

Consumer Reports year after year puts those on the bottom of their reliability ratings, along with Jeeps.
