The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck developed to forge new paths with zero emissions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnother great new feature of the Hummer EV is its ability to remove its four separate roof panels. That allows for some open-top off-roading and seems like an extremely attractive feature.<\/p>\n
At launch, the battery of the Hummer EV will be capable of 350 miles of range, while also having 800-volt charging capabilites and the ability to charge at speeds of 350 kW. That would let it charge 100 miles in ten minutes. Though, 350 kW charging stations are limited at best.<\/p>\n
It all sounds like a compelling package, wrapped in a body that reminds me of the old Lamborghini LM002 in the best of ways. The only real issue is its price. To start, the Hummer EV will cost $112,595 which is nearly $40,000 more than the Audi e-tron. Admittedly, it has far more range and far more power, along with the removable roof, crab mode and three electric motors. So it\u2019s likely worth a six-figure price tag but it\u2019s still a huge amount.<\/p>\n
More, less expensive models will come in the future, with the cheapest one starting at $79,995, putting it squarely in the range of the e-tron. That\u2019s going to be trouble for Audi. The Hummer EV, even a lesser model with less power and range, will likely be more attractive to a lot of American buyers than the e-tron. Not only does it have more of a novelty for being a Hummer but it looks great, has a cool cabin, a removable roof and genuine off-road cred.<\/p>\n
If I\u2019m Audi, I\u2019m looking at the Hummer EV nervously. Just like the Audi RS6 Avant, with its high price tag, sold hot right out of the gate because if its hype, the same is going to happen with the Hummer. So Audi, along with the rest of the industry, should take notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Audi e-tron has a surprising amount of competition, as the mid-size electric SUV segment is a relatively hot one. Most of its competition comes from premium brands; Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Tesla. However, there\u2019s a new all-electric competitor that doesn\u2019t come from a premium brand. In fact, it comes from an extremely unexpected brand \u2014 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[3],"tags":[213,212],"yoast_head":"\n
