Gmc does not build many cars like the GMC Hummer EV: a 4-door pickup truck / 5-door SUV, built from 2021 in the decade the industry is turning electric. Its designer of record is Rick Scheer (director of design) / Brett Goliff (interior) / Scott Martin (UX) / Samir Datta (lighting).
Where it came from
The GMC Hummer EV (badged as HEV) is a line of battery electric heavy-duty vehicles produced by General Motors since 2021, and sold under the GMC mark. The Hummer EV is offered in two variants: a pickup truck and a sport utility vehicle (SUV), unveiled in October 2020 and April 2021 respectively.
Weighing roughly 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg), the Hummer EV is among the heaviest consumer automobiles currently sold in the United States. Its size, mass, and acceleration have led to concerns regarding the danger it poses to other users on the road in the event of a collision, as well as its efficiency and environmental effects.
Under the skin
it is rated at 830 or 1,000 hp. Kerb weight is 9640 lbs. The gearbox is a Single-speed. The wheelbase is 135.6 in (Truck) / 126.7 in (SUV). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Gmc's history is not in doubt: the Hummer H2 & Hummer H2 SUT came before it; it was built at Detroit, Michigan. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Nissan Z, the Kia EV6, the Tesla Cybertruck. Nearby in the Gmc catalogue sit the GMC Canyon and the GMC Sierra EV.
