General Motors has released another video showing the GMC Hummer EV Pickup being built at its Factory Zero plant in Michigan.
This promotional video, entitled ‘Ready To Roll’ shows GM Factory Zero employees assembling the GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 as it rolls down the assembly line at the newly renovated facility. This is the second promo video that was released in recent weeks showing the GMC Hummer EV Pickup on the line at Factory Zero after a similar video was posted to the official General Motors channel earlier this month.
Every GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 will be identical, featuring a white exterior and a unique Lunar Horizon interior upholstery color with bronzed accents. The Hummer EV Edition 1 also comes standard with GM’s hands-free Super Cruise driving assistant and 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.
The first GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 rolled off the assembly line at Factory Zero on December 17th, 2021. The rights to purchase the first example, which is tagged with VIN 001, were sold to NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale 2020 auction for $2.5 million. It’s not clear when Mr. Hendrick will take delivery of this first production model. Customer deliveries of the first Hummer EV production models are expected to ramp up in 2022.

gm is the rodney dangerfield of the EV world. they’ve got the same market cap as newcomer ford.

Sorry that was supposed to be a thumbs down, hit the wrong emoji.

Why does gm keep promoting this thing as ‘zero emissions’. It’s not. It’s zero tailpipe emissions but the massive amounts of energy needed to charge its 200 kWh battery to move this 9,100 pound monstrosity will have to be produced somewhere and almost everywhere in the US, that energy production creates emissions.
I don’t know but I think a little Chevy Spark with its fairly clean onboard energy production system would have less of an environmental impact than a Hummer that has to suck down huge amounts of power from the power grid to move it down the road. Given that many of kWh hours the Hummer takes was produced from burning coal or fossil fuels, I would surmise that the little Spark is the better choice for the planet.
Well then let’s turn off all electricity then. Oh and you don’t think Tesla isn’t in the same boat? Please before you post think about what you’re gonna say so you don’t sound completely stupid.
I have solar panels at home and I charge two electric vehicles for free with zero pollution except for what it takes to produce the panels. After I installed the panels, I acquired two EVs and converted most appliances to electric and still pay much less for electricity that before the PV system was installed. By the way EV go stations have 100% renewably sourced energy. It will take time but we will get where we want to be eventually.
GM need to boost up the towing to at least 11,000 be nice to see 13,000 k make great to pull a toy hauler. Before I change my mind on my EV3 and get a F3500. Ford
It is tremendously more efficient to use centralized power plants than individual power plants on wheels. There is no comparison. It’s even true of the temporary electric vehicle charging stations that were set up with diesel generators in areas where there wasn’t sufficient infrastructure for a proper fully electric station yet. Even those are more efficient than an engine in every vehicle.
You’re also neglecting that the power grid is increasingly supplied by non-fossil-fuel power. Hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal, etc. The plants that you grew up with are the past. You can’t base assumptions about developing technology as though nothing else about the system is changing, unless your goal is to be disingenuous.
Yes, a smaller vehicle is decidedly more energy efficient than a larger one. But one of the biggest problems with adoption of electric vehicles is that so many people are stuck with the notion that only small vehicles can be effective as electrics. I sell GMCs, I find the Hummer fascinating and I look forward to getting them, but I agree that they’re obscene. But I also recognize that this is a good strategy to get more people to recognize the value of electric options. The Hummer isn’t the end goal any more than the iPod was the end goal. People liked iPods and that fueled massive growth that changed the world. They had a halo effect that helped grow Apple into an industry leader. You don’t have to buy Apple products to benefit from the innovation and healthy competition they provide. Similar opportunity here with the Hummer. It’s not the end goal, it’s a single (very large, expensive, shiny) step.
Wow what a vehicle. I can’t what until the eletric Sierra comes out.
A Chevy spark… Really….the Hummer can pull it lol! I don’t get people don’t mind using refrigeratoes, dish washing machines, clothes washers, gas or kilowatt sucking electric dryers, tv,home entertainment, air conditioning, and the countless other things in your home they use Electric ⚡! This is major step forward in my opinion and in my case to commute to work I have have to charge it maybe once or twice a week if this was a any had powered truck I would have to fill up two or three times a week at about $70 to $ 100 dollars tank full. Once the Silverado and GMC Sierra become EV vehicles they will be great for business. I just don’t understand why people are so against this new technology… All my life I have been subject to gas prices and I am sick of paying for some country 5000 miles away for oil to make the gas. If this is the future then count me in this is only the beginning!
People are against new technology because they are afraid of change. And they don’t understand the technology, but feel compelled to make comments on something they know nothing about.
Well then Steve I agree with you but it’s people like this who are going to keep in in ICE age and not move forward! All I am saying is give it a chance and try solar panels I people who have them on their house and love them.
I like the concept of EV cars but I guess certain people would rather pay for the big O! There must be a lot of mechanics on here who have their panties in a bunch because they have to learn something new.
