Straight from the battlegrounds to the city roads, a huge pick-up truck with fascinating looks, impeccable driving experience, and faster than a lightning ball is the GMC Hummer EV. A flatbed truck that boasts innovation, power, and off-rowdiness competing against the Toyota Tundra, Ford F-150, and the Tesla cyber beast. Here is the showdown:
Down the Legacy
Hummer H1 concept MPV was first launched in 1983 when the Pentagon signed a pact with AM General to deliver 55,000 trucks for 1 billion dollars. It was a wide-track car made to follow military tanks on battlefields. It was first seen on television during the Iraq War. Later, in 1992, it was brought into mass production. In 1999, when AM General was acquired by General Motors, a brand famous for making Chevy and Duac, it rebranded as H2 and H3 with exterior and interior modifications. Since 2010, the company has seen a huge decline in sales and thought to reborn this truck with the EV revolution.
2024 Hummer EV – Overview
This super truck is available in dual-motor and tri-motor all-wheel drives. However, the one we reviewed was a tri-motor option available with 1000 HP and 1200 lb.-ft of torque, whereas the dual-motor option produces 570 HP. This super truck weighs nearly 5 tons and has a beefier body paired with bold styling aesthetics.
Battery and Performance
The Hummer EV has a blazing fast 350 watts charging accompanied by a battery pack that constitutes to the major weight proportion of this truck. The Tri-motor model gives a 616 km driving range with a superfast acceleration of 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds, while the dual-motor model gives a 500 km driving range. Besides, it has a height-adjustable air suspension, rear-axle steering, crab crawl feature, and a super cruise that allows handless driving.
This EV truck is full of safety and technology features, with four sunroofs and a premium interior that will have you drooling over luxury. The absolute best part was its continuous-running headlights, which transformed into a sequential charging marquee showing the battery state of charging. The impeccable innovation, blazing-fast speed, and design concept made us fall for the GMC Hummer EV.
If someone want to import an american SUV or pickup truck, it is better to import from Australia or Japan, were they are available as RHD.
For the ev according to a recent article from New-York post, a new study found that if ev is neutral of CO2, its production overtake ICE car production, and generate more particules pollution with breaks use, since EV are heavier for example this Humer weight nearly 4 Tons, thus require stronger breaks, and thus increase another kind of pollution in usage.
the EV aren’t a good solution.
It seem some brands were right to not shift to EV in Hurry

Here is some reading material if you are interested. A few points to what you’ve said:
Big cars, SUVs, trucks and cargo haulers have been around since the golden days of automobiles. Old cars, especially from the 40s and 50s were very heavy. This brake pad issue was happening then just as it is happening now. Why was this not an issue till now?
The second point is that ICE vehicles are worse because they not only produce brake dust, they also have tailpipe emissions.
If you read any of the links I provided, there is clear data that EVs are better and their brake pads last much longer because of one simple reason. Regenerative braking. That is a big factor. People who own EVs all report that due to Regen braking they hardly ever use their brakes in normal everyday city driving. Regen. Braking is also available in Hybrids; however, this feature seems to be more aggressive in EVs. If you read the article in the first link, they mention clear data on this subject from the city of Dundee in the US which has a very high EV adoption rate. People there regularly report of EV brakes lasting 80,000 miles to 100,000 miles between requiring changing. That is around 130,000 KM to 160,000 KM; and that is reflected in any piece of data I have come across about this subject. People have now been buying EVs for over a decade so such data is easily available. If you read the Quora link, the guy mentions how his Nissan Leaf’s brake disks tend to rust up because he uses them so rarely in his everyday driving.
The sad part is that legacy companies, having the most pull for the longest time, are busy muddying the waters and confusing the regulators and the people with such drivel.
You article are at least two years old, and one of them seem to be related to an insurance company, insurance company are biased.
Be more obejectiv please
Now the article i mentionned from New York post is only a few weeks ago, publishing the result from Emission Analytics, a scientific study.
Update Yourself
Like i said few weeks ago, we have the tendency for copying the West without learning from their mistakes
Happy Ramadan to everyone by the way
Why aren’t they any Ramadan themes with Pakwheels website ?
