The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 is a very heavy vehicle, with the battery-electric truck tipping the scales at a frankly absurd 9,063 pounds. That’s not the only eyebrow-raising weight figure related to the Hummer EV, however, as the weight of the 246.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is even more shocking.
According to a GM document filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1’s battery pack tips the scales at 2,923 pounds. That’s heavier than the vast majority of modern-day compact cars, including a 2017 Chevy Cruze LS Automatic, which weighs in at just 2,870 pounds.
Hummer EV Ultium battery pack
As we reported earlier this week, the GMC Hummer EV has EPA-certified efficiency ratings of 43 MPGe highway and 51 MPGe city for a combined rating of 47 MPGe. This is a rather low energy use rating for a battery-electric vehicle, however the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 has a near-1000 horsepower powertrain and is loaded with virtually every available option and feature, reducing its efficiency.
As GM Authority reported previously, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 boasts a GM-estimated range figure of 329 miles. This range figure applies to the Edition 1 launch trim level only, which comes standard with rather heavy off-road wheels and large 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory off-road tires. We expect future GMC Hummer EV trim levels, like the soon-to-be-released EV3X, to offer slightly better range and efficiency thanks to smaller wheels/tires and the presence of fewer features.
The GMC Hummer EV3X will arrive in the fall of 2022 with prices starting at $99,995, while the EV2X will be available in the spring of 2023, starting at $89,995. The entry-level Hummer EV2 will arrive in the spring of 2024 priced from $79,995. As we noted previously, these models will feature different battery and powertrain combinations and will likely thus have different EPA ratings for both range and efficiency.
Production of the GMC Hummer EV Pickup takes place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan, which will also eventually build the GMC Hummer EV SUV, as well.

But uh I might poi point out yer-ah when I went to dearborn driving that ughhhya know ughhh was up there I don’t know man it ughhh I think the press thought I was crazy I enjoyed it so much growing up and ughhh your new ev factory in ughhh and that that hummer
Does Any Have A Idea Of Total Cost Of Replacing The Batteries If Need Be?
Yes battery replacement is $36,269 a piece.
You literally had this article yesterday
This is the vehicle that Biden and GM says will save the planet? Ha ha ha ha
,,, maybe Putin now would change his mind about ….
MK – What does this have to do with Putin? I’m confused, please elaborate.
USA1 would try … another cold war brings more attention to … than … climate balance … if humans can balance planet and universe own trajetory and if and EV car like this huge truck is … me… do not believe GM only electric is the answer, but your president thinks so
must be a slow news day….
… interesting that instagram Design GM had many interesting pics about Escalade drawing of a supposed designer Andrew with a very tall concept, other day a retired guy showing how with markers was and so on but it did not appeared here… if they are out of recent news … do not understand the why… however was in expectation
Hey MK, are you ESL and using an online translator to English? If so, I’d recommend using google and doing so sentence by sentence and not an entire paragraph all at once.
… yes i am esl or not, depends on how u explain to me, whatever that means … and some times uses online translator too, good tool from google, do y know what is google ? seems not
ah saw. ESL Gaming Tournaments » but not fan of Games…. so no
why Andrew ? is prohibited to comment in GM Authority ? is it only for bs USA users ? north.american has the nose up too much sometimes, means snob like UKs
No because nobody understand what you say.
Nor do we care!
can’t wait to see how someone re-charges the battery in an off road situation….good luck
don’t pretend like this is actually going offroading. I know 1 person with a TRX and 2 people that have owned 4 Raptors between them and none of them have ever driven on anything more than a gravel road. The “EV offroad” criticism is baseless for a vehicle like this. A $100k factory offroad bruiser is about looks, not function.
Of course there are a few exceptions, they are very much the minority
Lol could you imagine this 9,000lb monstrosity going rock crawling
Not as much as I see it rock crushing. I remeber as a kid getting our lane regraveled. Watching a f650 dump truck with 5 tons of gravel drive down that road with the dirt and rock beneath it squishing like a trampoline beneath its tires does not bode well for a vehicle like this off road.
That’s called subbase deflection and your driveway is not built well
When I get mine, I’m going to put helium in the tires so it will not weigh so much.
You must have been the guy who advised NASA they wouldn’t have to worry about landing on the Sun if they would only do it at night. lol
Bingo!!! lol
Or rock crushing.
These models can charge from to another if one gets low,
100 miles 10 min.
Oh, so that’s why the truck weighs over 9,000 pounds?!
Have you seen the size? It is near the size of most HD trucks.
Funny as long as you build a POS that weighs over 8500 pounds you don’t have to display mileage figures.
1. … and how much weight without Batteries in Kg ? or tons ? it is what understand
2. … Pounds sounds like those women make-up to powder the face in red or orange.
Look if you want one fine buy one if you hate it don’t buy one.
GM is selling this and will draw a lot of income from their sales making other models cheaper sooner for average buyers able to buy what fits their lives.
The harsh reality it to pay off development cost via a Bolt or Volt is a difficult act.
Much like the performance found in a Camaro was paid off by Corvette owners at a higher price.
I don’t get all the complaints. I hate Tesla so I refuse to buy simple!
It’s America people are allowed to complain we do what we want here.
I wonder if today’s EVs = bag phones, if you were around for them.
If any of my neighbors get one I will drop a dime on them because of the 4 ton weight limit on the road.
This thing weighs more than a GMC and Silverado HD dually jesus!!!!
Uglier every time I see pictures of it.
The world cannot supply enough rare earth metals to support this type of obvious battery obesity. So how much would a battery weigh that would power the equipment needed to harvest rare earth metals?? LOL Good luck when its time to dispose of this big boy.
The hypocrisy of this type of EV is stunning.
I’m interested in the 247 kwh battery….. This is much more than double the Caddy Lyriq’s ‘half-size’ 100 kwh battery….
Seeing as the Caddy will charge at home at 80 amperes (presumably future cost-reduced models will have GM’s now ‘standardized’ 48 ampere charger for their more economy products), and even at 80 amperes the vehicle will take 14 hours to fully recharge – one wonders whether the HUMMER will optionally add TWO charger ports to cut this time to 7 hours..
Dedicating 200 amperes (required for a 160 ampere continuous (over 3 hour) load) to the garage to recharge ONE vehicle is frankly a bit of an eyebrow raiser but I’m sure customers such as the Governator can afford it.
As far as Trophy Vehicles go, this is actually QUITE CHEAP to Refuel….
I looked at Car and Driver’s review of the $75,000 RAM 1500 they advertise 10 times a day on TV, joking that they don’t see why the connecting rods don’t bend what with all the fuel rushing into the cylinders and that this vehicle Causes Global Warming in and of itself since on a good day the thing gets 10 mpg and MUCH WORSE if you try towing anything…
Seeing as Gasoline is on its march to $4 per gallon, that means the Very Masculine RAM 1500 will set you back at least $250 to make a round trip between Buffalo and Albany, New York. Meanwhile, the Hummer can do it for $70; a steal by comparison.
GRREAT observation on Home Charging. To charge an EV with any speed is going to create the need for much higher capacity amp boxes and the appropriate wiring into the garage. In our case the outside boxes are located on the other side of the house from the garage. Think about apartments, stores, parking lots, parking decks, etc. Power consumption will enormous and occur primarily at night, which as we all know, is when renewables create virtually no power. Of course there is a whole area of discussion related to dead batteries while traveling and how to get those charged until you can get to a charging station and the wasted time a tow driver is spending.
When ideology meets reality with a meaningful number of EV’s on the road the it will be interesting to see what happens.
Thanks Jaybird – of course – if I knew anyone who owned one of these things – they’d not necessarily drive 329 miles in 2 consecutive days…..For those who don’t and stopped by in my driveway, i’d recharge them at 32 amperes as I do my 3 evs..
Just because a vehicle CAN charge at 80 or 160 amperes doesn’t mean they absolutely have to always… So I figure using my relatively ancient facilities would give the HUMMER another 9 miles of travel for every hour it was plugged in…. So assuming someone was 18 miles from home and they had an absolutely dead battery (unlikely) they’d only have to stick around for 2 hours.
We live in the south about 5 miles from major shopping and 15 miles from the center of town. Have one kid 7 hours away and another 5 hours away. Looked at EV’s but mapped several trips and even around town the constant hassle of charging and the modifications to get the largest charger in the garage was unworkable. Having said all that I probably will buy a CyberTruck… LOL, but only as a weekend warrior.
Haha Jaybird I’ve owned one Tesla – that was enough unreliability for one lifetime…. The car was great WHEN IT WORKED….
GM products are more plain-jane, but usually much better values, and they’re far more reliable.
I dunno about the HUMMER, but I wish they offered any SUV model with only ONE drive motor….. I don’t need any of the bells and whistles and since I have the cheapest Lizard Insurance they won’t insure any ‘exotic’ vehicles that have more horsepower than a normal vehicle.
Obviously the Caddy Lyriq will qualify for the discount insurance since the 2wd version only has one smallish motor.
As far as ‘unworkable facilities’ GM is – with the purchase of their CHEAPEST product (the
Bolt(s)), giving $1,000 off the electrician’s invoice to upgrade the wiring for a 40 ampere (usually 7.6 kw with the included cord, or over 9 kw if you have your own larger cord) charging receptacle. Beefy ‘220’ Cord is standard with the EUV and optional with the EV. That’s pretty generous… Unfortunately I had no use for such an offer, so took the $500 EVGO fast charger credit – unfortunately, I have to drive 260 miles in one direction that I normally do not go to use it. Good for 3 years so we’ll see.
Don’t pay any gas tax (which funds roads and bridges). Excess weight cause more damage to same. Tell me how this makes sense.
@Silverado
I pay $200 BEV Fee every single year. The average Driver pays between $50-$60 a year in Gasoline Tax to fund Roads and Bridges…..why do you think our Infrastructure is the way it is? We do not pay enough into it. It is considered Political Suicide to introduce a higher Gas Tax. Which makes no sense as we drive around town trying to avoid car sized potholes on the roads.
Pay more? $.50 x 20 Gal. per week X52 =$520
9000+ pounds going 45-65 MPH. Any collision with another normal vehicle will be a fatality. Mass times velocity!
@Rick
Obviously that goes without saying but quick question….Would you rather be in a Cruze or a Suburban if involved in that Crash?
You are trying to make it sound like it will only be an EV issue.
Or you could be in a Chevy Bolt and there would be an explosion wiping out half a city block…LOL
You guys better joke about that while you can, since in a few months all those batteries will be ancient history. GM – with LG’s money, is replacing every single one AND resetting the warranty on them… Again – more than generous actions by GM.
Details?
Wheels5555:
Sure: GM is recalling every SINGLE Bolt EV and Bolt EUV ever made…..
If I had known GM was going to do this – I would have kept my 2017 EV with 50,000 miles on it…. (I traded it in on a 2022 EUV June 2021 – since trade in values were ridiculously high – But I’ll get a new battery for the new car anyway with the resets – it just won’t be as FANTASTIC a deal as it would have been otherwise…
Details?
An example is the easiest way to explain it….Suppose another person has the same thing I had before I traded it in…
A 5 year old car with 50,000 miles on it… The original battery warranty was 8 years/100,000 miles…It was rated 60 kilowatt-hours. Now in the next month or so, they will install a BRAND SPANKING NEW BATTERY – which is 8% BIGGER which means they are getting a ‘bigger gas tank’ absolutely free.
The original battery warranty at this point for this car has 3 years/50,000 miles left on it. Resetting this ADDS 50,000 miles and FIVE YEARS onto the warranty… So unbeknownst to the original purchaser in 2017 – they get, in effect an 11 year/150,000 mile warranty…..
Obviously someone who has driven 98,000 miles on their 2017 bolt would in effect get an 11 year/198,000 mile warranty. THAT IS UNBELIEVABLY Generous. Plus 8% bigger than the original…..
Whats the warranty??? and who replaces the battery-probably have to send it back to the factory for a replacement then you get a gas truck loaner!!! Anyone who buys one of these is a Biden fool.
Roger Corlett:
All batteries are replaced at a Chevy Dealership with a Certified Technician trained on the change out job.
Free of charge.
Details? A 5 year car goes from having an 8 year to 13 year warranty. I mistakenly said ‘only’ 11 years in the previous comment.

Roger Corlett:
Sorry – I thought you were talking about the BOLT recall when you are asking about the HUMMER.
Battery Warranty 8 years / 100,000 miles – what all GM vehicles have been since the 2011 model year, and models the Chevy Spark EV, Both Generations (2011-2015, and 2016-2019) of the VOLT, the 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR and then the later CT6-PHEV now ALL discontinued but the battery warranties – to the extent they haven’t timed out, are still honored.
I’m sure any battery trouble will be rectified at a GMC Dealership by a Certified GMC technician who has gone through proper battery replacement training .
The good news I stopped a stupid decision for tesa to sell our product for such a poorly made vehicle.
I made up for it by over charging GM for another deal. I love working for tesa.
I hope when the Vette comes out with that BAD ASS Zora, I hope the battery pack does not weigh 2,900lbs. Also on the current C8, GM needs to get the weight down to 3100lbs dry , I would really love to see the next generation C9 have a dry weight of 2800, Chevy needs to go with a Carbon Fiber frame.
How long until GMA posts the first pictures of the Hummer EV having crushed another vehicle in a crash. I feel sorry for the victims already. Saw one with an “M” plate at the hockey rink last night. It literally is HUGE.
Why The Concern About Heavier Vehicles?…They Are On The Road Daily From Busses To Tractor Trailers!…Do You Think Either One Would Crush A Hummer?
Busses and Tractor Trailers are driven by professional drivers. Hummer EVs are driven by Ashton Kutcher and the like. Big difference. Hope you don’t get hit by one!
I certainly agree, but a couple of “professional drivers” I have seen on the interstate recently look like 17 year old girl scouts. I may be wrong, but I’m suspecting that anyone who can climb into the cab now days can be a professional Tractor Trailer driver. Scares me!!
