EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE NEW HUMMER EV TRUCK

EV Channels Review

The GMC Hummer EV is presented as a groundbreaking electric truck, boasting immense power with a claimed 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of theoretical torque. The reviewer highlights its extreme off-road capabilities, including 35-inch standard tires, up to 15.9 inches of ground clearance, and a unique 'crab walk' feature enabled by four-wheel steering. A significant point of discussion is the massive 200 kWh battery pack, expected to offer up to 350 miles of range, though efficiency is anticipated to be low due to its size and weight. The charging system is noted for its ability to switch between 400V and 800V modes for up to 350 kW DC fast charging, potentially adding 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. However, the reviewer cautions that the advertised performance figures, particularly torque, are theoretical and potentially misleading. Key unknowns include exact curb weight, payload, towing capacity, and detailed motor ratings. Pricing starts high, with the "Edition 1" launching at $112,595.
