The GMC Hummer EV will make its debut during an online live stream at 8 p.m. ET tonight, but the automaker appears to have spoiled its own surprise after the “All-Electric Supertruck” leaked out via a website banner ad this morning.
A Jalopnik reader sent the site a screenshot of a banner ad showing a front-three-quarter view of the GMC Hummer EV, joined by a bold white font laid over a black background reading “The World’s First All-Electric Supertruck.” The photo appears to legitimate, as we’ve also seen General Motors refer to the GMC Hummer EV as a “Supertruck” in an earlier teaser advertisement for the battery-electric pickup. The ad allegedly appeared on the tablet version of CNN‘s webpage for a brief period this morning.
The styling of the truck in the ad appears to line up with what we were expecting for the GMC Hummer EV, as well. The large, single front LED light bar that spans the width of the front end is the same as what was seen in the previously released teaser image and is joined by other unmistakable Hummer cues like a huge front skid plate, narrow greenhouse, upright windshield and high beltline. The silhouette of the vehicle is also identical to GM’s silhouette teaser it released previously (below).
Dedicated Hummer enthusiasts who were worried about the vehicle’s off-road capability can probably put those concerns to rest, as the truck appears to have quite a bit of ground clearance and is riding on large (perhaps 35-inch?) tires. As we reported previously, it’s likely these tires are Nitto Terra Grappler G2s, though GM has also displayed the BT1 electric truck chassis with BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM3 rubber on it, as well.
The GMC Hummer EV will be offered with a one-, two- or three-motor powertrain, with the tri-motor version expected to produce over 1,000 horsepower. This model will also be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in three seconds flat – hence the “Supertruck” nickname. Certain versions of the pickup will also be able to travel an estimated 400 miles between charges thanks to GM’s large new Ultium lithium-ion batteries.
Other highlights of the truck include an Open Air Infinity Roof with modular Sky Panels and an innovative Crab Mode four-wheel steering system.
GM will drop full details on the GMC Hummer EV later tonight, so be sure to subscribe to GM Authority for the latest GMC Hummer news GMC news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Looks good. Exactly like it should look as a Hummer EV
One word: BEAST. What a perfect job bringing the classic Hummer design language 10 years forward from 2010!
Also, word from local dealers has it that if you want a reservation, you’d better do it IMMEDIATELY. As in, 8pm sharp. GMC told the dealers that they’ll be scooped up crazy fast.
Excuse me while I change my shorts.
At first sight that front end look like the new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I meant to say 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
I thought it kind of looks like the Bronco, but really only in that one blurry picture.
Yup, looks like a Hummer.
I’m buying top model
There are no such thing as a leak as everything is done is create excitement just as when Chevrolet started to test drive groups of the C8 Corvette together in major cities as it was to create anticipation and excitement for the C8 Corvette as General Motors wants a repeat for the new Hummer EV.
They were just worried that everyone had forgotten or no one cared that it was being debuted today
Phil Brooks said they expect their crazy ad blitz to reach 80% of American adults by week’s end (that’s 240 million people). Insane.
Nice, There is no mistaking this for anything but a Hummer. It should do well and be very popular and really help cover the ROI on the EV program.
I still would caution on the price as I suspect it will be priced over a Tahoe and Yukon.
I hope they expand the line and do offer more affordable models in time. GMC dealers should be very excited with the Denali line and now Hummer. Few have two bigger money making names under one roof.
Makes the Tesla Truck look a bit silly now.
You suspect a vehicle with over twice the horsepower of those other vehicles will be priced higher? What gave it away?
Just some posters have tried to say this is a bronco competitor.
I do expect a base model that may be around $60k but it will add up fast with the goods. Think Vette prices.
Just as I predicted!
You always say that, but I challenge you to actually predict something.
We’ve still got a couple of hours to go. Tell us, oh wise one, what is the starting price of the Hummer EV?
Well I have no idea lol, but I’m guessing $59,995. Watch GM pull another C8 Corvette on us.
I’m guessing $69,990. They are selling them at the same dealers that have the $67,700 Yukon Denali, so I don’t expect it will come cheap.
I’d love to be wrong. If this thing was actually around the same as a decently equipped Silverado/Sierra, that would be awesome.
If the battery configurations come out to where they plan to get pricing ($100/kWH), then just the battery in the 200kWH model will be $20K at target and probably closer to $30K on the front end.
I would think that they could bring in a 2wd, 1 motor, 100kWH entry model around $50K with 2 motor 4wd at $60K and high end 3 motor at $70K starting.
Wow…I think Nate has got good logic behind his comment, but if only for wishful thinking, I REALLY hope you’re right, Canyon. That’d be sweet.
MSRP: $79,995
Yeah, I really didn’t expect it to be a luxury brand at base level, but that’s where the profits are. I really should have bought more GM stock when it was under $15/share, but buying earlier at $21 looks good now.
Well, Shockandawe will probably say:
“Just as I predicted!”
I am holding out for an AWD high top adventure van.
have you tried the candy name Jawbreaker? It literally breaks your jaw eating it!
Hummer will be $100K +.
YouTubber Jason, “Engineering Explained”, has a new video on this Hummer at GMC. The engineering on it is incredible with three electric motors.
The HUMMER is unfortunately missing Central Tire Inflation which was maybe was the most desired and valued option on the H1 series. Loved it when we were on the trail and could sit inside and set the tire pressures all at once and watch the Jeepers out there with their pumps which seemed to take forever.
