GMC Hummer EV’s Battery is made for long distance!

This year, the 2022 Guide de l’Auto team chose to highlight the GMC Hummer EV on the cover.

When it comes time to choose the vehicle on the cover, the Guide de l’Auto team takes inspiration from current trends in the automotive industry.

For the 2022 edition, the team wanted to illustrate two strong trends: that of increasingly massive SUVs, and that of electrification. Thus, the GMC Hummer EV seemed a good reference to current customer demands. And, let's face it, the Hummer is also turning heads with its unique styling and iconic heritage !

A new chapter

Hummer EV will be the first fully electric addition to GMC’s lineup, driven by next-generation EV propulsion technology that enables unprecedented off-road capability, extraordinary on-road performance and an immersive driving experience designed to put occupants at the center of every moment.

The HUMMER EV will get its energy from General Motors’ all-new Ultium batteries and power from Ultium Drive, GM’s proprietary EV drive units. A GM-estimated best-in-class 1,000 horsepower and GM-estimated 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque are generated by three separate motors within two Ultium drive units to give HUMMER EV’s e4WD remarkable on- and off-road capabilities. Additional purposeful and intuitive technologies will complement the truck’s range and capabilities to enhance and elevate every excursion.

Canadian production of the pickup version will begin in the fall of 2022. The SUV version of the Hummer EV will be available in 2023.
