I could forget to take the parking brake off my diesel truck which weighs just about the same and has about the same size engine and still get better fuel economy.

Anyhow, there's several threads on the Chevy Bolt forum complaining of how wasteful the new EV Hummer is. Now to figure out how to roll electrons...

Likely a combination of 37 inch tires, low gearing, full time 4WD, portal hubs, and aerodynamics of a brick.
