WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE GMC HUMMER EV SUV? I TALK TO ONE OF THE ENGINEERS WHO CREATED IT!

EV Channels Review

This in-depth look at the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, featuring an interview with lead engineer Scott Damman, highlights its impressive off-road prowess and unique engineering. The SUV shares much of its platform with the pickup but features a shorter wheelbase for enhanced trail capability. Key takeaways include the versatile three-motor AWD system with independent rear motor control for torque vectoring and locking differentials, and the robust Altium battery platform with a 20-module pack for the SUV. While the "Watts to Freedom" mode offers exhilarating acceleration, the vehicle also prioritizes extreme off-road functionality with 16 inches of ground clearance, 13 inches of suspension travel, and the ability to accommodate 37-inch tires. The interview also touches on charging capabilities, including 19.2 kW AC and 300 kW DC fast charging, and a 3 kW onboard power export feature. The interior mirrors the Sut's design, emphasizing a premium and functional space with advanced tech like Super Cruise and extensive camera systems for visibility. The Edition 1 trim is detailed, with options for on-road or off-road packages, and pricing is discussed, with a lower-cost entry point planned for future production models.
