What weighs about 4.5 tons and has an enormous trunk within the entrance?

Should you stated both an grownup male Asian elephant or the 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup, you are right.

However solely one among them can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3 seconds. We assume an elephant cannot crab-walk, both, although zoology is not actually our space of experience.

GMC confirmed final week {that a} absolutely loaded 2022 Hummer Version 1 will weigh 9,046 kilos, or a little bit greater than two base-level Sierra full-size pickups. It will likely be greater than 900 kilos heavier than the unique Hummer H1 and about 700 kilos greater than a dual-wheeled Sierra 3500 crew cab diesel.

The explanation, after all, is the heavy 24-module Ultium battery pack that provides the Hummer EV an estimated 350 miles of vary. Batteries make most EVs considerably heavier than their gasoline-powered counterparts — although few, if any, of the opposite fashions headed to dealerships within the coming years are more likely to match the Hummer’s curb weight, which was first reported by GM-Vans.com. (Few may even prime the Version 1’s value: $112,595.)

Then once more, the Hummer is not very consultant of most EVs within the pipeline at Basic Motors or some other automaker.

GMC designed the Hummer to be a supertruck for individuals who can afford it to have a ton — or reasonably, 4.5 tons — of enjoyable driving. A spokesman for the model stated that, not like an elephant, the Hummer “is sure to shatter expectations of what an electrical car can do.”
