The 2022 Hummer EV is the first all-electric supertruck in the world. While making zero emissions, its powertrain achieves 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, and it has a driving range of more than 350 miles.
With 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires and a standard independent front and rear suspension, the supertruck can handle off-road drives. Available Extract Mode raises the supertruck up when maneuvering on rocky paths, while available CrabWalk allows the model to move diagonally on narrow trails.
Available steel plates, shields, and rock sliders protect the Hummer EV from on-path obstacles. Up to 18 UltraVision underbody cameras provide a real-time view of these obstacles so you can move safely around them.
