The success of Tesla electric cars and several other manufacturers is beginning to have an impact on the entire industry. The Hummer brand, which was withdrawn from the market nearly 10 years ago, is returning, this time with a fully electric car.
The new electric Hummer will be officially unveiled in May, but General Motors wants to make sure the public is aware of the return of this iconic car by then.
Hummer was for a while a symbolic car for the United States. I was derived from the military Humvee of the US Army. Following the announcement of Cybertruck and other recent pick-up electric cars, the Hummer seems to take the form of an electric pickup truck. Given the size of a Hummer, which would allow a much larger battery to be installed, the electric Hummer is likely to have a much longer range than the old models with a full fuel tank.
GMC Hummer EV will be the official name of the new Hummer. It will have 1,000 horsepower and be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in three seconds. For what is said to be a big, heavy car, this performance will be truly impressive. In fact, Elon Musk's Cybertruck has proven that you can create a huge electric car that can deliver sports car performance.
The car will be manufactured at the Detroit-Hamtramck factory, and full details will be announced on May 20. In addition, the car will also appear in a Superbowl advertisement, and General Motors has already started a YouTube video campaign.
The release date for GMC Hummer EV is scheduled for fall 2021, the same time period when the first Cybertruck models from Tesla factories are expected to release.
