Fully electric Hummer 'supertruck’ to come out in 2021, General Motors says
General Motors is revving up excitement with an all-new kind of Hummer.
The car manufacturer on Tuesday introduced its upcoming Hummer EV, a massive, fully electric vehicle that’s slated to go on sale in the fall of 2021.
Described as “the world’s first all-electric supertruck” by GM, the 1000-horsepower Hummer EV is expected to be capable of traveling at a range of about 350 miles on a full charge.
“As the world’s first zero emissions, zero limits all-electric supertruck, HUMMER EV generates the power and technology to conquer the off-road with extraordinary confidence,” GM says on its website. “The revolutionary Detroit-built HUMMER EV will leave everything you thought possible in a cloud of dust.”
The first edition of the Hummer EV is expected to sell for a little more than $112,000 next year, with a cheaper model rolling out annually from there, GM says.
Previous models of Hummers were known for getting low gas mileage, but the new electric car’s makers say the Hummer EV will be capable of charging up for a range of about 100 miles in just 10 minutes.
“It may be quiet,” GM says of the vehicle, “but HUMMER EV’s revolutionary technologies and unmistakable design speak loudly.”
