Electric Hummer

The Hummer EV is used by GMC as an electric "super truck"

First of all, the Hummer EV will be launched in the "Edition 1" announced for 2021 and now presented. The model with full equipment and the highest performance and range starts in the USA at a price of $ 112,595 before taxes (approx. 95,000 €). Later, other versions with, among other things, less horsepower and e-kilometers will be introduced, the most affordable for $ 79,995 (67,500 €).

GMC is promoting the new Hummer as a unique “super truck” and a technological pioneer in its segment. The electric car is said to have “unparalleled” off-road capabilities, but also to perform well on the road. "This innovative truck is coming to market quickly and in a targeted manner and brings General Motors one step closer to a fully electric future," said General Motors President Mark Reuss. "With the Ultium Drive architecture as the basis for an exceptionally wide range of performance, the Hummer EV is perfect for customers who want performance, efficiency and power."

"Ultium Drive" is the new, Group-wide electric drive technology from General Motors. For the Hummer EV Edition 1, the subsidiary GMC relies on an all-wheel drive setup consisting of two drive units with three electric motors for an output of around 1000 hp and 15,000 Nm of torque. This should go from 0 to 60 mph (0–97 km / h) in just three seconds. The battery capacity has not yet been revealed, but it is probably the largest battery pack from General Motors for the time being with 200 kWh. The range stated is up to over 560 km. Thanks to the 800 V architecture, the batteries can be charged with up to 350 kW of charging power in ten minutes for almost 100 km.

We only had one goal for the Hummer EV: to build the most capable truck to date," says Al Oppenheiser, the engineer responsible for the off-road vehicle. "It's an absolute off-road monster with a very special electric four-wheel drive system that enables maneuverability like never before at GM." In addition to the powerful electrical and off-road technology, the Hummer EV comes with advanced driver assistance systems including various cameras. A premium interior, removable roof modules and, depending on the version, adaptive air suspension, additional terrain options and more are also in prospect.
