The GMC Hummer EV is a fascinating feat of engineering from General Motors, headlined by attributes like the powerful three-motor electric drivetrain, the mesmerizing CrabWalk, and impressive off-road prowess. Indeed, both Hummer EV variants, which include the Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV, are lauded by fans and enthusiasts alike, and now, one person has crafted their own Hummer EV Pickup out of wood.
While not scaled to the full size of the real vehicle, the craftsmanship of this particular project is certainly stunning nonetheless. Starting with just simple blocks of wood, the craftsman uses cutouts shaped in the figure of the GMC Hummer EV Pickup to create the general shape of the all-electric supertruck. After that, he begins fine-tuning his work, eventually constructing a scaled model of the Hummer EV.
Next up comes the finer details. The craftsman beings shaping features like the GMC MultiPro Tailgate, the removable Infinity Roof Sky Panels, and the suspension bits. Interestingly, while the front design resembles that of an independent-suspension design, the rear appears to parallel that of a leaf spring setup.
Finally, the model has black accents painted on, and goes for its first “test drive”. Unfortunately, the scaled Hummer EV Pickup model does not feature any self-propulsion, so the craftsman pushes the little truck along.
As far as the full-scale Hummer EV, the Pickup and SUV variants actually produce different outputs despite being based on the same vehicle platform, the GM BT1 platform. The Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 produces 1,000 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque, while the Hummer EV SUV Edition 1 develops 830 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque. Both output figures are sourced from GM Ultium battery and GM Ultium Drive motor technologies.
Both Hummer EV variants are produced at the GM Factory Zero plant (previously known as the GM Detroit-Hamtramck plant) in Michigan. The Hummer EV Pickup began production in November 2021, while the Hummer EV SUV began production January 2023.

Yeah, it makes good firewood
So just how much work did he do??? Just put a chunk of wood on a CNC machine and add the full-size numbers and drop it to smaller scale. Most Highschool students can do it with no problem!!!!
Interestingly, the wood was recovered from a forest that was clear cut to make way for a solar farm.. oh ! the circle of life !
