GMC is going big with the release of the brand new all-electric Hummer EV. Taking a massive step away from its offering of tiny plug-in electric vehicles like the Spark and Volt, this fully charged, fully electric Hummer is totally ready to change the truck game forever. 

How? Well, driving diagonally should do it. Much like the long-awaited return of the Cadillac Escalade, GMC has revived another icon: The Hummer. Appealing to those who want to live large and want an even larger car to ride in, the GMC all-electric Hummer will be the first in a series of battery-powered vehicles to fit those exact demands.

Lifting some tactics from the Tesla playbook, GMC will be introducing more expensive cars at first, before introducing more affordable options later down the track.

Priced at USD$112,595 when it goes on sale in Fall 2021, it isn’t a cheap option by any means. Offering drivers the same grunt and substance as the gas-guzzling Humvee that began its life as an all-terrain military vehicle, the new all-electric model will be able to travel about 350 miles when fully charged.

With sports like acceleration and over 1,000 horsepower, GMC Brand Chief Duncan Aldred said the truck would entice those who never wanted an electric car to begin with. “We think when they see what this is, it will change their minds,” he said.

Featuring especially engineered 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler All Territory tires, eighteen available camera views, industry-leading Infinity Roof, and modular Sky Panels, plus a Bose audio system that will rock your world with a 14-speaker array, there’s a lot to admire about where GMC is pushing the usually polarizing Hummer.

One demand we didn’t see the need to be solved, though, was diagonal driving. Thanks to its 4-wheel steering capabilities, the rear wheels can turn up 10 degrees in either direction allowing drivers to traverse diagonally at low speeds, otherwise known as CrabWalk.
