GMC Hummer EV Reveal Happens at 8pm EDT tonight

[JamieGeek]

Its so true - I see today very large SUVs and trucks and same deal at soccer practices or school activities

We've taken our RV to our son's baseball games (yeah ok they were double headers and we tailgated lunch inbetween the games for the team).

I'm reading the thread about the reveal in the EV subreddit and the Tesla fanboys sure are butthurt over the threat to that ugly Cybertruck.

I like the design of the Hummer EV. I just think it's too expensive. It still impresses me Ford is coming out the gate with a $40,000 EV.

That's a big fat negative. Too bad.

Wait...something that big is faster than the Mach-e GT performance?!?!?!

0-60 is about rapid power delivery and traction. There's no way it will outperform a GT once you include a few curves.

I put in a reservation for a GMC HUMMER EV EDITION 1. I am not sure why but I did. It was $100 and refundable.

That Engineering Explained article is pretty interesting.
The battery pack is over 200kWh. That is more than double the Extended Range Mach E.
24 cells per module. 12 modules per layer. Two layers. That is 576 cells. That is so much weight.

And how far will that 200 kWh take you in a Hummer?

GM is being coy with the curb weight of this thing. The original H2 had a curb weight of about 6600lbs. I bet this thing adds another 4k on top of that with that gigantic bank of batteries

They showed it during the World Series. (e.g. the announcer's even introduced the commercial: "And now a first look at the all new....")

I think it may have been right after I wrote that I saw that commercial.

That thing is impressive but it’s SO massive! If you remember the H2. It was huge and driven by suburbanites. I shutter to think what’s going to happen when a soccer mom gets in that beast with a 3 second 0-60. Parking lots will be dangerous

Not just soccer moms . . . I am a school board member in a VERY diverse school district. From the wealthiest to the poorest kids in our county. We HAVE had kids that drive Hummers to school in High School. I'm more worried about what they will do with that quick 0-60 time.

About 350 miles according to the release. The video by Engineering Explained is good.

It shows how much GM overdid it. Very similar to the way GM overdid the H1. This thing will be massively heavy. GM took the approach of just throw more batteries at it and stack them on top of each other. Kind of like a 10 old year creating a starship wishlist.

Hopefully all the way to the next charging station...

Except this starship is more Orville than Enterprise.

how do you figure?

I charged next to a prototype Hummer today in Moab. That thing was huge...doesn’t seem well suited to the city life these seem targeted towards. And too big to be a great off-road vehicle.

Great picture! With the estimated 200 kWh pack, they better support 350 kW charging, otherwise it'll be there for a good long time.
