General Motors has confirmed initial customer deliveries of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 will begin in December.
Production of the battery-electric pickup truck began at the GM Factory Zero plant earlier this month, with GM marking the facility’s opening by inviting President Joe Biden to tour the plant floor and test out the GMC Hummer EV on its grounds.
While the GMC Hummer EV will be available as both a pickup truck and an SUV, the latter will not enter production for another year or so, with customer deliveries of that model expected to commence in early 2023. The GMC Hummer EV SUV will be built alongside the pickup variant at the Factory Zero plant.
In addition to the two GMC Hummer EV model variants, Factory Zero will also produce the Cruise Origin robotaxi and the future Chevy Silverado EV. The plant will employ around 2,200 people once it’s up and running at full capacity by mid-decade.
The first examples of the GMC Hummer EV Pickup to roll off the line at Factory Zero will all be Edition 1 models, which will be identically equipped with a white exterior, white Lunar Horizon interior and bronzed “Edition 1” interior badging. The Hummer EV Edition 1 also comes standard with the Extreme Off-Road Package, which adds 18-inch wheels, 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, underbody skid plates, frame rail rock sliders and underbody cameras.
Power in the Hummer EV Edition 1 comes from an Ultium Drive tri-motor powertrain producing 1,000 horsepower, which is fed by a ~200 kWh Ultium lithium-ion battery pack. This gives the vehicle the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about three seconds, while the estimated range sits at a GM-estimated 329 miles. Prices for this range-topping trim level start at $110,295, however all units have now been spoken for.

I hope GM Hummer has better start up than Toyota Tundra it’s been A Hot Mess with all kinds of issues
I guess we’ll know the cause when the Christmas lights start to dim. Somebody will have plugged in their new 9,100 pound beastly EV.
Hummer became the poster child for Global Warming excess 20 years ago. President Obama forced gm to shut down production and gm learned absolutely nothing from all of it. Apparently neither did Joe Biden. He’s such a fool to allow himself to be used to promote this monstrosity as “green”.
I guess you don’t like it? LOL
You weren’t going to buy one anyways. Keep riding your e-bike!
There are Class 8 Trucks that are going All Electric, Buses even Yatch’s, go ahead and bash those vehicles too while your at it….Jeez
lol Obama didn’t “force GM to shut down production”… they chose to shut down the sections that weren’t making money as part of their bankruptcy deal… if Hummer has been a high profit brand, they would have kept it.
Obama and his “car czar” Steve Rattner established criteria in 2009 for gm to meet in order to get the US government bailout money and among the criteria was to shutter divisions and eliminate dealers. Hummer was one of the brands gm was forced to eliminate along with Pontiac and Saturn.
A friend of my parents owned a Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealer in my city that’d been in business since 1946 and passed down over generations. They were much loved in the community and their dealership was profitable but it didn’t meet Rattner’s annual sales quota so they had their franchise revoked by gm under the Obama bailout plan.
I don’t know how else to describe it but gm was on the verge of liquidation and was forced by Obama to restructure and make drastic changes. One of the tenants was to shut down the Hummer brand. According to Lutz’s account they pushed back and especially begged to keep Pontiac as a niche brand but were told no by the president and his administration.
You weren’t going to buy one anyways. Keep riding your e-bike!
9000 lbs. of rolling rubbish.
Hey Daniel, You haven’t driven it. It’s OK that you don’t like it, but why do you feel the need to demean it?
But, will Central Tire Inflation be offered as an option.
It was the HUMMER 1’s most popular option.
Impressive … Way to expensive for middle income people. At least Ford is building one for the masses. Ram is so yesterday. Chevy seems late to the game.
The Hummer brand has NEVER been meant for middle income families… The Silverado EV will be out near the same time as the Lightning and will be priced similarly..
It will be like driving a 9000 lb. Ranger!
