GMC Hummer EV Truck: Release Date, Specs, Features
Fate has a funny way of working, and the GMC Hummer EV truck is proof. Let's rewind back in time to 1983. The first production of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle just rolled off the AM General assembly line. Colloquially known as the Humvee, its service started in the jungles of Panama, then achieved an iconic career of freedom-fighting that continues today. Certain celebrities took notice of the Humvee and its unapologetically tough design, engineering, and overall attitude along the way.
That led to the Hummer H1 in the early '90s, with the bare minimum creature comforts added. Look, this was no beauty queen or luxury machine. Instead, you got an H1 to show off your patriotic spirit, tackle serious off-roading, or simply because you liked it. It weighed as much as a bus, guzzled gas like no one's business, and could hardly fit in a normal parking spot — but that made it cool.
The Hummer died in 2010 thanks to rising gas prices, increased climate-consciousness, and a focus on downsizing in the auto industry. But, with its fighting spirit still burning, the Hummer has made a glorious return — still big and bold, but now eco-friendly and luxurious. Welcome to the new GMC Hummer EV truck. We're your GMC Hummer dealership Charlotte drivers love, so read on and get excited about this all-electric beast.
The New GMC Hummer EV Truck: Big and Powerful, Yet Quiet and Clean
When that original Hummer debuted, it came in two forms: SUV and truck. The new GMC Hummer EV does the same. What you'll find in the GMC Hummer EV truck are looks reminiscent of the original Hummer, serious capabilities, but a focus more on innovation and luxury. That starts with the interior and continues on to advanced features like Crab Walk and Super Cruise, but we'll dive deeper into all that and the GMC Hummer EV release date later.
GMC Hummer EV Truck Electric Specs
What makes it such a marvel are the electric specs. It's getting crowded in the all-electric world, yet the GMC Hummer EV truck stands out not only for its size but for its electric capabilities as well. This involves:
- A GM-estimated 350+ mile range
- GM Ultium battery-pack technology
- Up to 350 kW 800V DC fast-charging capabilities
- Charging of up to 100 miles range in 10 minutes
- Regen On Demand regenerative braking
Cool, but the coolest parts are the traditional performance numbers you'd look for. Those are downright absurd here, but in a very good way:
- Up to a GM estimate of 11,500 lb-ft of torque
- Up to 1,000 horsepower
- 0-60 mph in approximately three seconds using Watts to Freedom launch control
GMC Hummer EV Crab Mode and Off-Road Dominance
Massive power is great on-road, but the GMC Hummer EV truck is as impressive off-road too. This starts with an all-wheel-drive layout, making good use of the torque, then continues with special 35" Goodyear® Wrangler Territory tires and available full underbody steel plate armor. Available features like front e-lockers will take it all further, while the overall design focuses on optimized approach, departure, and break-over angles.
Choose an available four-wheel steer system, and you'll also get CrabWalk. Essentially, by turning the rear wheels up to 10 degrees, you can drive diagonally. That's great for challenging trails near Charlotte, but even better is the available Extract Mode, which raises the available Adaptive Air Ride suspension up to 6" on the fly. Throw in the available UltraVision system with 18 cameras, and you'll get a complete picture of all obstacles while you absolutely dominate them with ease.
GMC Hummer EV Interior
The first things you'll notice inside the GMC Hummer EV truck are premium materials all around, and then the 12.3" Driver Information Center display and 13.4" touchscreen infotainment system. You can control and customize almost everything from here and also blast your tunes through the Bose 14-speaker Centerpoint® audio system. For fans of '70s T-top glory, the GMC Hummer EV truck will strike a chord with its available removable Transparent Sky Panels. And to top it off, GM's incredible Super Cruise technology will give hands-free semi-autonomous driving capabilities.
GMC Hummer EV Towing Capacity and Payload
What good is an off-road engineered truck if it can't haul your toys? Sadly, we don't have an exact number for either towing or payload capacity, but with all that's involved, we don't think it'll be anything short of impressive.
