The new electric Hummer was presented through a live streaming, when GMC executives took to a virtual stage showing the first new vo model of Hummer from 10 years now and the first ever with propulsion fully electric . Hummer EV Edition 1 of 2022 is defined by GMC as the “the world’s first fully electric supertruck” .

The new electric Hummer challenges Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian

With three engines and two drive units , the new supertruck will be able to touch the 1. 00 0 Cv with an estimated pair of 11. 500 Nm . Impressive data, allowing the electric pickup to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds , i.e. aligning the performance of Rivian R1 . Of course, the most famous competitor for GMC’s new solution remains Tesla CyberTruck .

The technological solutions underlying the Hummer EV Edition 1 battery and its charging methods are futuristic. The batteries with technology Ultium that the vehicle is equipped with are made up of internal cells that can be stacked vertically or horizontally within the battery pack, which gives automotive engineers greater flexibility in design layouts. Ultium batteries are available up to 200 kWh , i.e. double the batteries of a Model S .

The new electric Hummer will have the ability to recharge the battery in such a way as to travel 93 miles in 10 minutes , while a full recharge will require less than 40 minutes . This is all possible through a power supply architecture from 800 volts with a maximum charging rate of 300 kW . The Hummer EV is, in fact, designed to be able to take advantage of fast charging stations up to 350 kWh in direct current .

The Crab Mode of the New Electric Hummer

Confirmed Crab mode which allows this off-road vehicle to to move on the ground as well as back and forth also diagonally just like a Crab or a crab.

This particular function is offered thanks to the adoption of four independent motors each of which combined with the relative wheel which, both at the front and at the rear, they are steering to allow precisely this type of translation.

The new Hummer also offers a series of functions typical of the off-road vehicle , including adaptive air suspension which can increase ground clearance by up to 4 inches to help overcome any obstacles that could put tires in trouble from 35 inches of the vehicle. According to GMC, the Hummer EV will be able to climb vertical walls and wade through waterways as deep as 60 centimeters. The vehicle is also coated with a armored plating , made necessary to prevent any obstacles from piercing the battery pack. Drivers will also be able to manually adjust the torque distribution between the front and rear axles.

In addition, the Electric Hummer is equipped with the new system UltraVision which consists of a series of cameras that help drivers have a clear view on 18 points around the vehicle . The cameras are also able to automatically clean themselves of mud and debris using a built-in scrubbing function.

Infotaiment from 13, 4 inches

The roof consists of transparent and removable panels, while inside we find a screen of infotainment from 11, 4 inches diagonal combined with a display reserved for the driver from 12, 3 inches diagonal . The driver assistance system is GMC’s Super Cruiser , which debuted on the Cadillac CT6 2017. This system allows the driver to remove his hands from the steering wheel, as long as he keeps his eyes on the road. A series of sensors, in fact, track the driver’s eyes and send out warnings if they detect levels of deviation. Super Cruise is based on high-definition maps and on a series of cameras and external sensors to move independently on the roads supported by the service (for a total of 220 thousand miles).

This is the first car infotainment system designed on Unreal Engine and the short glimpses we got to see during the Hummer presentation show a graphically denser system than most vehicles. The system is powered by one Intel CPU with 64 GB of memory and works on Android . Hummer has partnered with Google which will bring the Play Store, Google Maps and Voice Control .

Among other things, the system allows you to check the balance of the truck and the position of each individual wheel at a glance, all updated in real time. Also, it is upgradeable, so more widgets may become available later. Among the widgets immediately available are those for the control of suspensions and for the management of the Crab mode.

Four variants starting from 80 thousand dollars

Hummer EV Edition 1 will debut in autumn of 2021 with the variant plus expensive, which in the US will have a price of $ 112, 595 . Hummer EV3X will instead be available a year later for $ 99, 995 and the 2X variant will require others 10 months, for a price of 10 thousand dollars lower. The cheapest variant is provided for the 2024 a little less than 80. 00 $ 0 .

All these vehicles will be produced at GM’s factory in Detroit-Hamtramck , recently converted by the American manufacturer with an investment of $ 2.2 billion in order to make it its only point of reference for all new electric vehicles (renaming it to Factory Zero).
