If a small electric hatchback could not capture the interests of Americans, perhaps a giant electric truck would do the trick. This is a GMC Hummer EV, and if you ignore it, it looks like a cross between a Toyota FJ Cruiser and a Porsche 914.

On Tuesday night, and after a lengthy teaser campaign involving a Super Bowl announcement, GMC unveiled its new Hummer EV to the world. The Hummer EV is the first of General Motors’ promised new electric vehicles, but, in fact, the last time GMA has made such a promise. It is also the company’s first battery electric vehicle after the Chevrolet Bolt EV, and it represents the whole I love you For the automaker.
After all, if an inexpensive, compact, efficient BEV doesn’t favor American consumers, perhaps a 1000hp (745kW) super truck with a 0-60mph time of three seconds will do the trick. Oh, and the price tag of 2 112,595, at least start.
And this one is big: 216.8 inches (5,507mm) long, it makes you a little shorter than the escalator that you all hate. It is 86.7 inches wide (2,201 mm) or 93.7 inches (2,380 mm) without mirrors. And we’re sure it’s .11.1 inches (2,060mm). I have no idea about its curb weight in pounds but I guess it starts at six.
The new Hummer EV is the first vehicle to use GM’s new Ultium battery and Ultimate Drive motor family. And boy does he use it. There are 24 battery modules. Although GMC will not give us a specific useful KWH number until it is EPA certified, when it unveiled the Altium pack in March, it told us that the 24-module pack would boast a total of 200 KWh. The Hummer EV should be given a range of 350 miles (564 km), GMC says. And because the vehicle uses an 800V architecture, it can charge fast up to 350kW, adding a range of 100 miles (160km) in 10 minutes, we are told. (As a reminder, GMA recently partnered with Evigo to deploy 2,700 new DC fast chargers.)
There are three permanent magnet electric motors in total – one powered the front axle and one pair at the rear, each running its own wheel. If a thousand horsepower doesn’t seem big enough, GMC quotes 11,500lb-ft of torque, but it’s on wheels, not the motor. The company says that the different ratio between the front axle (13.3: 1) and the rear (10.5: 1) means that the wheel torque is more appropriate. However, Jason Fenske explained engineering Calculates about 1,000lb-ft on motors.
