Hummer EV: GM’s Hummer is making a comeback – and this time, it’s all-electric
CNNCNN — The Hummer is back. One thing the Hummer didn’t lose ispower.Withfour-wheel drive and three electric motors capable of producing a total of 1,000 horsepower, the Hummer EV is designed to be “possibly, or probably, the most capable on the market,” said Duncan Aldred, head of GM’s Buick and GMC brands. Besides raw power, the GMC Hummer EV also offers some additional features and capabilities that aren’t found on most trucks, said Aldred. The Hummer EV’s adjustable air suspension system features an Extract Mode that raises the truck by as much as six inches to make it easier to drive over obstacles or out of deep mud. GM executives decided to make the first Hummer EV a pickup truck rather than an SUV, because trucks are what GMC is best known for, said Aldred.
