Hummer Returns As A 1,000 HP Electric Pickup From GMC

Nearly a decade after the last Hummer rolled off the assembly line, the brand is back and more powerful than ever. Introduced earlier tonight, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV marks the return of an icon and a glimpse into GM’s electric future. Looking far more streamlined than previous models, the GMC Hummer EV features a minimalist grille which is flanked by slender LED headlights. However, they’re largely an afterthought as the front end is dominated by a massive skid plate which hints at the model’s off-road prowess. Continuing further back, we can see pronounced fender flares and a short windscreen. The model also has a relatively flat roof with removal panels that allow for a truly open-air experience. Speaking of the panels, they’re transparent and can be stored in the frunk when removed. While the windshield doesn’t fold down like on the Jeep Gladiator, the rear window can be electronically lowered. Given its off-road intentions, it’s little surprise the truck comes standard with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler All Territory MT tires. They enable the model to scale 18-inch vertical obstacles and also drive through more than 2 feet (610 mm) of water. If that’s not impressive enough, the model can be equipped with even larger 37-inch tires. Power comes three motors which produce an estimated combined output of 1,000 hp (746 kW / 1,014 PS) and 11,500 lb-ft (15,592 lb-ft) of torque. This will enable the four-wheel drive pickup to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in approximately three seconds. The motors are powered by an Ultium battery pack which enables the truck to have a range in excess of 350 miles (563 km). When it comes time to recharge, you’ll be thankful for the truck’s charging capacity of up to 350 kW. It enables the model to get nearly 100 miles (161 km) of range with a quick 10 minute charge.
