They have to start somewhere and Hummer is a great choice to kick this off.

Saw that one a couple days ago on the GMC site. Looks like it's now on YouTube




Here's a few more...

InsideEVs is stretching a bit with the side render. I'm pretty sure the side outline GM showed was just a generic lookslikeatruck outline.

Well if anything, it's 100% guaranteed to be better than that stupid Cybertruck

Not in the least bit.

This much we know.

And I don't get the appeal of a EV Camaro honestly. The V8 rumble is the heart and soul.

Hummer EV to feature 1-3 motors with varying ranges and price points.

As for the price, I don't recall Hummers being all that affordable to begin with, so I doubt EV pricing is going to hurt it much.

Considering that the Cruze was in the $23-25k neighborhood and a Volt (similar size and amenities) was in the $38-40k neighborhood, this Hummer is going set people back a good bit over a Silverado or Sierra. We shall see.

Of course its going to be more expensive than a Silverado. Its a freakin' Hummer. They were NEVER cheap. I'm 99% sure that the H1 was the first vehicle GM ever sold in the 6 figures (though some Cadillacs in the old days might have been up there, once you adjust for inflation). The H2 cost about as much as an Escalade, if not more. The H3 was around 50% more expensive than a Trailblazer or Colorado. They have never been affordable vehicles for the masses. So I don't know why anybody would expect the new ones to be anything different. Yes, the new electric Hummers will be expensive ... but new gasoline powered Hummers would be expensive too. As would diesel or CNG or hydrogen or whatever else.

That high price point is almost certainly the reason why GM made the decision to revamp it as an EV brand: so that they can actually make money off of an electric vehicle for once. (Cadillac ELR doesn't count, it was a hybrid like the Volt ... and it still might have been a net loss anyway given that it sold in abysmally small numbers)
