Clearly, the auto giant is staying on its EV offensive path.
The GMC Hummer EV has already set a benchmark in the electric super-truck market. It is powered by a 1,000 hp electric powertrain, which can generate around 15,592 Nm of massive torque, close to the semi-truck segment. It can accelerate to 0-100 kmph in less than 3 seconds and has a range of 560 km on a single charge. No wonder, the GMC Hummer EV not only brings back the iconic badge to the business but set up benchmark for the other companies too that are working on electric trucks.
