An Overview of GMC Hummer EV
General Motors introduced the first GMC Hummer EV in 1999 as a heavy-duty SUV vehicle, which, surprisingly, was able to use off-road. But, unluckily, the car consumed high fuel, so the production was stopped in 2009. There were two reasons why it was discontinued. Besides, due to rising fuel costs, the demand led to a decrease at the same time.
One exciting thing is General Motors didn’t release the intellectual property rights. They kept it for the Hummer name as a plan to reintroduce the car as an environmentally friendly electric vehicle. General Motors proves what they promised by offering two types of GMC Hummer EV: an SUV and a truck.
General Motors seemed serious with the debut. You might see from the teaser, which started in January 2020, until the full launch at the Super Bowl LIV in February 2020. Unfortunately, they have to reschedule the release due to the coronavirus pandemic. There is still no official statement from General Motors yet, but it is predicted the new 2022 GMC Hummer EV will be revealed in the fall of 2020 when things get better.
