2023 GMC Hummer EV3X To Offer Hummer EV Edition 1 Powertrain

The 2023 Hummer EV3X, the second variant of the GMC Hummer EV all-electric pickup due to go on sale, will be offered with the same powertrain as the Edition 1, as reported by HummerNation.com.
Both models will have three electric motors, but the Hummer EV Edition 1’s drivetrain will be much more powerful. Scheduled for launch in the fall of 2021, priced to start at $112,595, it will have a system output of 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of wheel torque, along with a range estimated by GMC at 350-plus miles.
The EV3X will launch one year later, in the fall of 2022, with an MSRP of $99,995. It will produce 800 horsepower and 9,500 pound-feet of wheel torque, and have a range of 300-plus miles. These figures are impressive, but clearly less so than those of the Edition 1.
However, EV3X customers will have the opportunity to enjoy the Edition 1’s performance – and its 0-60 mph time of approximately three seconds – by choosing that vehicle’s powertrain. This will come at a cost, but it is unlikely to be anywhere near the $12,600 which separates the two models in their standard forms.

More affordable examples of the Hummer EV pickup with lower (but still formidable) performance will be available to those who are prepared to wait for them. The $89,995 EV2X will go on sale in the spring of 2023, and will be followed a year later by the $79,995 EV2. Both will have a two-motor powertrain producing 625 horsepower and 7,400 pound-feet of wheel torque, though the EV2X will have a similar range to the standard EV3X, while the EV2‘s range will be 250-plus miles.
An SUV version of the Hummer EV will also go on sale in the near future, likely with the same technical specifications as the pickup and a similar pricing structure.

Awesome, AWESOME news. This means the TRX and Raptor R will still be looking up to the GMC Altar after the 2022 model year. 1,000 hp will not be denied
I still believe that offering a car with under 300 miles of range in 2023 and beyond is dumb. Unless it costs 20000 dollars and less.
I’d tend to share that view, but by that time, smaller vehicles such as the Chevy Bolt should well exceed 300 miles of range. More likely you won’t see a $20,000 vehicle at 300 miles of range until 2027.
Gotta agree with you Lucas. I sure wouldn’t want to give up my Silverado and pay $80K for a vehicle that could only get me 250 miles per charge, regardless of how much HP it has. There again, I don’t suspect people who buy these Hummer P/Us will be buying them to use as a “truck”. They’ll truly want them because the “Joneses” of the world have them, but if you ask them, they’ll say they bought it to save the planet.
So curious is the edition 1 just a 1 year limited edition or will it be the main high end package sold year after year
1 year limited edition. It’s only for the 2022 model year, unless they can’t fill out the entire Edition One order from the online reservations. If that happens, they’ll carry it over into 2023 to finish filling out the orders.
Thank you.
How long will it take to do a full recharge when you are traveling a long distance? I have had my HUMMER since new in 2006 , I want the new one but this is a concern for me. Thank you!
Lyla, you will not typically do a full recharge when travelling on a long trip. All BEV vehicles charge very quickly up to 80% and then slow down significantly. If you want to get to 100% charge, it may take one or two hours (depending on the charging station, maybe even longer). You can expect to get an 80% charge in 30-45 minutes. Hopefully GM will get it to 30 minutes, maybe even less if you are on the right charging station. Also keep in mind you will rarely want to drive your battery below 10% charge. So on a trip, you are stopping before you get to 10% and charging up to a maximum of 80% before getting back on the road. In addition, range estimates are NOT highway range estimates. If you like to drive 75-80 mph on the highway, your range will be significantly less than the rated EPA range. If the EPA rates the Hummer EV at 400 miles of range, multiply that times .7 to get highway range = 280 miles. (It might be even worse than 0.7 since the Hummer is not very aerodynamic.) Then multiply that times .7 to get your range between charging stations = 196 miles. Depressing, right? Welcome to the BEV world. The technology is amazing, but highway trips are not.
