First GMC Hummer EVs Ready for Delivery... in the U.S.
First GMC Hummer EVs Ready for Delivery... in the U.S.Nearly two years after GM’s announcement of the arrival of a new-generation Hummer, this time all-electric and under the GMC banner, the first units of the pickup have rolled off the assembly line and are ready to be delivered to buyers.
In total, two dozen units rolled off the assembly line yesterday, according to GM President Mark Reuss. In an interview with CNBC, he said 17 Hummers were ready to hit the road. Fitted with GM's Ultium battery and no gasoline engine whatsoever, the Hummer EV is the second all-electric pickup to hit the market after Rivian's proposed R1T model.
The first 1,200 Hummer EVs will be Edition 1s, all draped in the Interstellar White colour. Each of them is powered by three motors together producing what GM estimates at 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. The product carries special features such as a height-adjustable adaptive suspension, guard rails and guardrails, 35-inch tires, the “Crab Walk” feature that allows for diagonal travel, the Watts to Freedom launch system (which allows for reaching 100 km/h in about three seconds, as well as the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. Range is estimated at 529 km when the 200-kWh battery is fully charged).
Note that this variant is not available in Canada. Our market can expect the first Hummer EVs to arrive next year.
