2022 GMC Hummer EV SUT: What We Know So Far
https://www.caranddriver.com ^ | 10/20/2020 | na

Posted on 10/20/2020 2:57:36 PM PDT by RomanSoldier19

In an amazing twist of fate, General Motors' gas-guzzling middle-finger-flying Hummer brand, discontinued in 2010, is poised to make a comeback for 2022 as an all-electric sub-brand of GMC. We know very little about the GMC Hummer EV SUT pickup truck so far. But we do know that it will offer 1000 horsepower and GMC claims it's capable of blasting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. Pickup trucks are clearly the next frontier for electric vehicles, as potential rivals from upstarts such as Rivian, Bollinger, and Tesla—as well as entrenched truckmakers such as Ford—are preparing their own entries in this emerging segment. We'll know more soon, as GMC plans to unveil the Hummer EV SUT and it's novel "crab mode" on October 20th.

We aren't even sure yet what kind of standard or optional features will be available or what price the Hummer EV SUT will command. We'll find out much more about the new pickup truck as it inches closer to production.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance We've heard that the Hummer EV SUT will be available with one, two, or three electric motors. The single unit suggests a rear-drive model while the two- and three-motor setups indicate two different all-wheel-drive potencies—and punchy acceleration. So punchy, in fact, that GMC is claiming a 3.0-second zero-to-60-mph time for the truck. Every additional electric motor should provide increasing payload or towing capacities. GMC claims that the Hummer EV SUT will make 1000 horsepower and a whopping 11,500 lb-ft of torque. While we take issue with how that misleading torque number is calculated, it should have massive pulling power regardless.

Biggest Winter Range Test Ever Reveals Best EVs For Cold Weather

Linky poo

The first thing the association discovered was that the tested EVs present around

18.5 percent less

range than their manufacturers state on WLTP.

He says

customers get really disappointed to discover the range is so affected by low temperatures, as well as charging.

That is certainly not an issue for people that are used to EVs, but what about new adopters? Managing expectations can be crucial to increase EV sales.

I want to see that.

A benefit of an EV truck is larger battery capacity - rendering the cold-weather limits less of an issue. Distance matters if max range is <100 miles (as I found with a Leaf), or noticeable with 200-300 mile range, but being able to put a >500 mile battery in assures drivers they'll have enough range for a, er, range of situations.

“But we do know that it will offer 1000 horsepower and GMC claims it’s capable of blasting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds.”


But it only has a range of 5 miles on a full charge. . . .

Switching from a car that is 100% powered by oil ... to a car that is 100% powered by coal.

Imagine being stuck off-road.

What do you do drive out a generator?

~~~

Fly out batteries maybe?

That sounds a lot easier than hauling a trailer with 3000 square feet of solar cells. lol

No go for me until they pay off the bondholders.

I’ve never seen a Hummer owner take one off the road. They might scratch their precious baby.

How about a “spare” battery?

Imagine the embarrassment when you run out of “juice.”

What they’re going to do with EV vehicles is totally overload them with electronic/computer wizbang stuff, so after 1 year or so, all the sensors and gizmos start failing.

Long extension cord? Seriously, you might have to tow it out, like a broken gas powered vehicle.

It looks more like a pickup, and for towing, rather than an off road vehicle though.

“after 1 year or so, all the sensors and gizmos start failing.”

I laugh at how often I see a new BMW being taken by flatbed back to the local dealer. Electric problem, no doubt, they have been in love with gizmos since back when that goofy iDrive thing came out.

Not really.

I have a diesel sedan. In city, 500-mile range. On the road, approaching 800 miles. But that’s not as critical as the ability to refill quickly. I’d live easily with a 300-mile range. I can put another 500 - 800 miles in the tank in about 5 minutes.

I don’t want an EV that requires more than 10 mins to fully recharge. If you bribe me, I might go 20 mins. Certainly not hours.

GM stands for Government Motors. I won’t buy another GM until they repay taxpayers back loan of $15 billon plus 12 years of interest.

Actually we’re pretty close to that.
EV battery charges 20%-80% pretty fast, probably under 20 minutes for Tesla’s new batteries. For a 500 mile (100%) battery, that’s 300 miles in close to gas-fillup time.
