Gone in a swish: The all-new electro beast Hummer EV is an innovation you can't resist!

The electric truck is set to go into production in late 2021

GMC’s plans to revive the Hummer nameplate comes in the middle of an economic crisis, a little over a decade after Hummer was placed under review by company management in the middle of the global financial crisis. Rather than being transferred to the Motors Liquidation Company as part of the GMC bankruptcy in 2009, the brand was retained by GMC, in order to investigate its sale.

After an unsuccessful attempt at selling the brand to a Chinese manufacturer, GM, at the end of February 2010, announced it would begin dismantling the Hummer brand.

Then, almost exactly a decade later, on January 30, 2020, GM released a series of short teaser videos revealing the return of Hummer. And on Tuesday night, the EV versions of the Hummer promised three electric motors, 1,000 horsepower adjustable air suspension, and a diagonal driving feature called “Crab Mode.”

The electric truck is set to go into production in late 2021, possibly ahead of Tesla’s Cybertruck.

It took only a matter of 10 minutes for the first edition of GMC Hummer EV to be sold out in United States shortly after its launch on Wednesday. Despite a steep starting price of $112,595, the iconic off-roader broke the internet yesterday.

The Edition 1 of Hummer EV is likely to reach dealers some time next year, and the customers are likely to get deliveries in fall 2021. The Edition 1 Hummer EV has a 563-km of range, 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque.
