The GMC Hummer EV (also known as Hummer EV and badged as H_EV) is a line of battery electric full-sizevehicles produced by General Motors under the GMC marque, and its own sub-brand. The Hummer EV line was introduced in October 2020 with the unveiling of the pickup truck (SUT) model. The sport utility vehicle (SUV) model was unveiled in April 2021. Only a small number have been delivered: 1 unit in the last quarter of 2021, 99 units in the first quarter of 2022, and 272 units in the second quarter.

Origins

The GMC Hummer EV originates from the discontinued Hummer brand (stylized HUMMER), previously owned by General Motors. The Hummer brand itself was created by AM General, the manufacturer of the HUMVEE light military vehicle. On June 1, 2009, as a part of the General Motors bankruptcy announcement, the company revealed that the Hummer brand would be discontinued.

Trims

1 of 1 Neiman Marcus Edition

For 2021, Neiman Marcus chose the Hummer EV pickup for their Fantasy Gifts list. Only one vehicle of this special edition will be offered for sale. It has been customized by Barrett-Jackson, a famed automotive auction house. According to the Car & Driver magazine, "the special edition model has been outfitted with custom interior features designed by the CEO of Barrett-Jackson himself. Two-tone leather upholstery, red-colored anodized metal accents, and several Neiman Marcus logos dot the truck's cabin. The steering wheel sports the Barrett-Jackson logo, and there's also custom running boards and entry illumination lighting."

The asking price for this one-off Hummer is $285,000. Many extra options will be included in the sale. The Neiman Marcus department store chain will give the owner of this model preferential parking at their nearest store. $10,000 of the sale price will be donated to the Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation charity.

This was the only Hummer EV delivered in 2021.

Edition 1

Arriving to the production line in 2022, Edition 1 is the sole model available for the first year and is considered to be a limited edition that was available for pre-order by the end of the launch event on October 20, 2020. All Edition 1 units are white with a black roof and feature bronze-colored wheels. The interior is a two-tone black-and-gray with bronze accents and Edition 1 badges. The Edition 1 will also feature Easter eggs themed after the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Edition 1 has three electric motors with 1,000 hp (750 kW; 1,000 PS), 329 miles (529 km) of range, and comes fully loaded with the Extreme Off-Road package, which includes 35-inch mud-terrain tires, skid plates, and rock sliders.

The Hummer EV Edition 1 sold out in the first 10 minutes of opening the pre-orders. Initial sales of the Edition 1 were delayed, but were later available in 2022.

One of the exclusive features introduced with the Hummer EV, coming standard in Edition 1, is the new "Crab Walk", which allows the Hummer EV to travel diagonally by using a four-wheel steer. Edition 1 also includes UltraVision underbody cameras for easier off-road maneuverability and visibility, Watts to Freedom system, adaptive air suspension, steel underbody armor, Extract Mode (lifts the suspension six inches for more clearance), Super Cruise (GM's driver assistance system that allows for automatic lane change and hands-free driving on compatible highways that have been mapped by GM), a digital key, removable roof panels, and GMC's MultiPro Tailgate.

In Extract Mode, approach, departure, and breakover angles (the greatest slope angle the vehicle can begin climbing, drive off of, and crest a hill, respectively) are 49.7, 38.4 and 32.2 degrees respectively. Ground clearance is 15.9 in (403.9 mm) and maximum water fording depth is 32 in (812.8 mm). GMC estimates wall-climbing ability at 18 inches and suspension travel at 13 inches.

EV^3x

Nearly identical to Edition 1, the Hummer EV^3x comes standard with Crab Walk, UltraVision, adaptive air suspension, steel underbody armor, Extract Mode, Super Cruise, a digital key, removable roof panels, and MultiPro Tailgate. However, the EV^3x will feature different paint colors, unlike the Edition 1. The EV^3x is powered by three electric motors and includes torque vectoring, and 'Watts to Freedom' system that allows the full acceleration capability of the EV propulsion system.

The EV^3x will output an estimated 800 hp (600 kW; 810 PS) with 300+ miles of range, and is expected to be available in the fall of 2022.

EV^2x

Includes all the features of EV²; however, it will also come standard with 4-wheel steer, Crab Walk, adaptive air suspension with adaptive ride control, and optional Extract mode. This trim will output an estimated 625hp using a dual motor system, will have an estimated 300+ miles of range, and is expected to be available in Spring of 2023.

EV²

This is the base Hummer EV trim which will include super cruise, HD surround view, digital key, infinity roof, a multi pro tailgate, and rear drop glass among other standard features. The EV² will output an estimated 625 hp (466 kW; 634 PS) using a dual motor system, with an estimates 250+ miles of range. It is expected to be available Spring 2024.

Production

The Hummer EV is produced at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck Assemblyplant in Michigan. Production of the Hummer EV SUT commenced on November 17, 2021. The Hummer EV SUV is expected to start production in early 2023. GM recently invested $2.2 billion in the plant for the production of these electric vehicles.

The reveal, which was scheduled for May 20, 2020, release, was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was revealed on October 20, 2020, instead, with reservations opening the same day.

Additionally, the October 20 reveal event was viewable not only on the GMC website, but also via livestream on YouTube, and through a number of short film-styled advertisements run during Game 1 of the 2020 World Series and the premiere of Season 19 of NBC's The Voice.
