Exciting news for buyers lucky enough to get in on the ground floor of the GMC HUMMER EV frenzy.

It is the first whack at a full EV yet harkens back to Hummers of old. It still has the pace and off-road capability you’d expect, with the advantages and smoothness of quiet EV motoring. As we all know, most SUVs never see off-road, so the macho trail-riding will neve be called upon.

The earliest batch of 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickups were made at Factory ZERO, so customers will be getting the call to come and get their brand new Hummers. The all new GMC Hummer ia a supertruck that will be the first of many Ultium-based consumer vehicles to be produced as part of General Motors’ vision for an all-electric future.

“We brought this truck to market with speed and agility and brought GM another step closer to an all-electric future,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “With our Ultium Platform as the foundation for a broad range of applications, the GMC HUMMER EV offers our customers the ultimate in capability and performance.”

To mark the occasion, VIN 001 of the Edition 1 GMC HUMMER EV went to a charity auction on March 27, 2021. The Barrett-Jackson auction saw the very first Ummer EV go for an eye-watering $2.5 million USD. The money will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a Sept. 11 charity dedicated to first responder Stephen Siller.

The foundation builds mortgage-free, accessible smart homes for the most catastrophically injured veterans, and Gold Star families, as well as the families of first responders killed in the line of duty.

The GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1’s is painted in Interstellar White, with a unique Lunar Horizon interior. Biult on the new GM Ultium Platform,  the Hummer has a GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and has a starting MSRP of $110,2951.

Signature features include:

  • 4 Wheel Steer featuring CrabWalk2 – allows the rear wheels and front wheels to steer at the same angle at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement of the vehicle, for even greater maneuverability on challenging terrain.
  • Adaptive Air Suspension with Extract Mode3 – enables the suspension height to be raised approximately 6 inches (149 mm) to help the GMC HUMMER EV negotiate extreme off-road situations such as clearing boulders or fording water.
  • Watts to Freedom4 – a driver-selectable experience that unleashes the full acceleration capability of the EV propulsion system, including GM-estimated 0-60-mph performance in approximately 3 seconds.
  • Super Cruise5 – a driver-assistance feature offering hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles (approximately 322,000 km) of enabled roads, and a new automatic lane changing feature, where the system can determine when a lane change is optimal and initiate the maneuver while following signaling protocols.

Though reservations for Edition 1 models are sold out, reservations for available models are currently accepted at GMC.com/HummerEV.

The GMC HUMMER EV leads future production of zero-emission vehicles at GM’s Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, which has been retooled, upgraded and expanded with a $2.2 billion investment by GM. Factory ZERO will serve as the launchpad for the company’s multi-brand EV strategy6.
