I have to say, I’m a sport car enthusiast but this hummer is incredible. Great execution, awesome technology and a brand that has built trucks for years makes this the best Ev truck option out there right now IMO.
GM has no drivetrain or battery pack experience, lg chem made it all in the past. "Ultium" is just their marketing term for the first gm made pack(cells are still 3rd party). People are fooling themselves if they think gm is going to make a battery pack better than lg chem or any more mature ev company on a first go. This hummer relies on the pack being massive to make up for serious inefficiency. 59mpge, the worst ev on the planet.
@@_PatrickO thats fine though time fixes these things. at the same time they do have decades of mass producing vehicles and especially designing truck with actual truck capabilities
@SysPowerTools that’s great in theory but Tesla sold everyone on an idea, not a working production vehicle that has cleared all regulations so until there is a working cybertruck that customers actually can drive and people can test, nerding out on a glorified crowdfunding campaign is all we can do lol. Same thing can be said about the roadster which is still nowhere to be seen.
who cares about motor torque anyway? Peak motor torque figure does not relate to any practical characteristic of a car. Wheel torque does. Torque curve over rpm does too. You have to be interested in the peak torque if you are engineering the transmission, of course... but we are not engineering a transmission here. One can build a car with a very-fast-spinning low-torque motor and high gear ratio, or with slow-spinning high-torque motor and small gear ratio, and they will accelerate similarly.
This is awesome! Very impressive! The wireless communication between battery packs is super impressive. Definitely good to see so many of these great vehicles getting made in this era. Going to be fun watching this go up against cyber truck, Rivian, and T-Rex and others.
I don't usually find the offroad, SUV, Hummer scene at all interesting but this thing is genuinely incredible. Some fascinating technology at play here.
I came in to this video expecting to ridicule and feel baffled. I'm leaving thinking GM actually did a pretty good job on this. Much better than I anticipated.
I didn't think GM had anyone smart enough to know what a great idea it was to give early access to Engineering Explained. I wish them luck as they transform thier business.
GM owes you a hands on and a teardown. They recently said they don't even have a working prototype...so what exactly did they show and share with you? I love this channel and I feel they owe you big time.
I'm glad that this exists, even though I really don't like bigass SUVs disguised as trucks. I like how it actually has a reason that it's so huge, because of all the batteries! I joke, but this legitimately seems like what the end-game for a truck/SUV would be (in the high-end of course).
@Erin W. Hood It’s a miracle there even still is a middle class. Everyone I know that’s well off has a ton of debt. If they miss work for a month they’re done.
Lol only $100k? Coming to a tree near you after someone drag launches it at a light and is rudely reminded that the brakes can’t match the acceleration
I love the fact that GM took their most thirsty car ever and made it into an EV. Super nice! Hopefully they depreciate as good as the Germain brands do lol.
28" of water driving, 32" in super raised mode, impressive! Underbody cameras with replaceable lenses is awesome. Better have a large windshield washer fluid tank for cleaning all of those
I think the moon theme is a reference to the lunar rover, built by GM in partnership with NASA. Surprised the GM marketing people didn't put this on their faces list
Garth - no, it doesn't . Hummer EV is TOO heavy and TOO Inefficient . Hummer EV only had 250 miles of RANGE , the TRI Motor Cybertruck has 500++ miles range. Hummer EV cant TOW very much , Cybertruck can TOW 14,000 lbs and 3500 lbs PAYLOAD .

With backup batteries, non-batteries, and fuels for ev charging of course.
Can we just take a second to realize how nutty it is that you calculated this thing has 1000 hp and 1000 ft*lbs of torque and then casually moved on to the camera system? What a world we live in where an electric vehicle with 1k and 1k isn't absolutely mind-blowing, sort of just a yeah, figured it had a good amount of power.
Looks nice! But I'd be scared of how incredibly expensive it might be to repair all of those complicated computers and components. Edit: saw the price; this is a rich mans toy, no plebs allowed
Warranty exists for a reason; and the idea behind electric is most maintenance is reprogramming modules. They would replace those components as a whole most likely, and they're pretty strict on how far you have to go to condemn one of those things.
In "theory" an EV should have far less problems then a gas powered car. It has less moving parts..no tranny, no engine, no exhaust. Tesla thinks the new batteries they are producing could be good for 2 million miles.
With any minor/major repairs you would have to dump the vehicle like the Jaguars. The air suspension was a disaster on the Citroen. All the complex electronics will fail and be discontinued forcing you to buy a new vehicle in only a few years.
Nah clearly the Cybertruck has a better design. All jokes aside, this thing definitely looks like a true truck from the future. If only battery tech was able to keep up with the capabilities of electric motors. When that happens, these will be even more badass.
@@marceloalencar9373 realistically speaking Tesla probably isn’t going anywhere any time soon. People have been saying they’ll disappear for over half a decade now and they’re still kicking. When other companies catch up in range and infrastructure, then they might actually be in trouble.
Getting Nikola vibes on this too. I think this will be like most concept cars from traditional manufacturers, they don’t resemble production models much if at all
Stationary mockups and the premiere video "Simulated vehicle shown throughout" I saw a few other videos that they have physical drivable prototypes but apparently those are incomplete in terms of features and specs. Will be interesting to see what the final product delivers, especially on range.
Even if GM delivers on its performance stats and delivery dates, it will still fall pathetically short of Tesla. When the $80k 250 mile HEV2 appears in 2024, the $70k tri-motor CyberTruck - then 3 years old - will probably have over 600 miles. And what kind of volumes? I predict, by 2025: 600,000 and 30,000 cumulative deliveries for CT and HEV, respectively.
And comparing published prices favors GM: Tesla's prices are the real prices; GM's prices are pre-dealer-markup. And dealer markups on the HEV could be quite steep if supplies are small and unknown to the public.
This has to be my favorite electric vehicle so far. Everything i would want in any vehicle. The other companies have a lot of catchup to do that's for sure.
When you find electrical engineering boring yet it's going to be incredibly important for the future of cars lol. I've always found electrical engineering to be fascinating, far more than most other subjects. It's part of why I love EVs so much.
@1life To live GM moves a tremendous amount of $130k+ Escalades. The mark-up on their top trim Corvettes, a car thatd already $75k, can be an additional $25k. this is gonna be a fun challenge for dealers to see bow much they can get away with marking up.
@1life To live the C8 Corvette was supposed to start around 60k but dealers are marking them up to over 100k. Dealers have been doing the same crap with Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators too. The Jeep Gladiator starts at 35k but good luck finding one for less than 50k.
My dealer gave me a small discount on the Hummer EV, and said GM has strongly suggested that all go out the door at MSRP, of course the dealer can do what they want, exactly the reason I talked to the dealer before placing a reservation.
@@mworld2611 I'm a GM Tech apprentice and actually the C8 moves out pretty close to the price tag, depending on options the customer desires. The 1st fleet of produced vehicles are always marked up sadly and the UAW strike didn't help at all, actually kind of fucked us all. Also, escalades don't move out near as much as you think.

I don't doubt its utility, but on the other hand the price is probably going to keep most from buying it. In that regard it seems more like a toy for rich people. I imagine Joe Rogan will go Elk Hunting in this vehicle.
People said the same thing when Teslas p85 and p90 were going to market and those cost more than this. I live in the Bay Area and I saw soo many Tesla’s within the first month and now you can’t go on the highway without seeing them.

When this comes out I would gladly sell my Cummins and buy this as I’m sure allot of people who can afford to will.
@@junyutan2172 true. Although I did know a couple people who financed an H2 when gas prices soared around 08.

@@IamGantz it’s not a question of affordability but it puts it in a price category with some solid competition, depending on the reason why someone would buy one of these.
Me: Waiting for the day they're done trying to generate excitement by appealing to the super rich. Specifically waiting for a basic, feature-light EV van/wagon that a regular person or small business might realistically afford and own for vacations or mobile business needs (or whatever "normal" people use their vehicles for beyond basic commuting). I must admit, however, that if the production version of this vehicle is at all like this prototype, this will certainly make some waves among off-roaders. With the Bronco and this being introduced, it'll be a fun time to be into off-roading.
@@DrewLSsix Doesn't have to be dirt cheap. Most people just don't need a full-size battleship of a truck with adjustable suspension, trail cams, 30+" tires, "locking" diffs, crab mode, watts to freedom mode, crawler gears, goat mode, autopilot, etc, etc. I wouldn't say that feature-light doesn't make money. If it didn't, where have all of those feature-light fleet vehicles for rentals, commerical transport, and government agencies come from? For example, GM doesn't make all of those bare-bones trucks for the USFS for nothing, and all of the basic cargo vans driving all sorts of business that keeps economies chugging along didn't grow on trees.

GM got so much right, and it makes me so happy! I’ve always been a nearly exclusively Japanese car fan, and would’ve loved to work for them after graduation, but GM’s shockingly somewhat affordable C8 Corvette really impressed me. I really hope this EV hummer is also somewhat affordable. I never thought this would happen, but I would seriously like to work for GM after seeing these new impressive and reasonably priced vehicles. I would love to be part of a team working to make GMs as (or even more!) reliable as Japanese automakers.
@@remytv Idk where you got that number. If you google it, you’ll see $80k. This is a lot, but we also thought the C8 would cost wayyy more than it actually does.
I wonder/hope if there will be a solar array that would unfold from the bed such that it would be able to charge the truck in couple of sunny days. If that happens, that means you have virtually unlimited range. Drive a day - camp and charge a day - drive a day, etc.
It’s exactly what outdoorsy people have been looking for! There’s no other option that has an off-road capable drivetrain and ground clearance, without taking my money (to generously support oil) and turn it straight into 8 miles of progress and 20 tons of environmentally destructive emissions. This is incredible!
@@explosivemallard8038 right? So glad we're getting to the point where we can more readily appreciate the outdoors without simultaneously funding the people destroying it
@picknngrinnin it's signaling a change in the industry as a whole dude. Of course the Hummer is overkill. But having an off road vehicle currently is not eco friendly.
@picknngrinnin key word: "MORE" readily. I use a phev sedan to go hiking, backpacking, skiing, fishing etc. But there are certain trailheads I need more clearance to get to, and some storm days getting to the mountain is tough.

Lol the tech in that GM is far behind the one in Cyber truck.. You can't comparing them... Ok scuse me but that Hummer is a real CGI trash.

I have to say, I’m a sport car enthusiast but this hummer is incredible. Great execution, awesome technology and a brand that has built trucks for years makes this the best Ev truck option out there right now IMO.
It's so dope.
GM has no drivetrain or battery pack experience, lg chem made it all in the past. "Ultium" is just their marketing term for the first gm made pack(cells are still 3rd party). People are fooling themselves if they think gm is going to make a battery pack better than lg chem or any more mature ev company on a first go.
This hummer relies on the pack being massive to make up for serious inefficiency. 59mpge, the worst ev on the planet.

@SysPowerTools that’s great in theory but Tesla sold everyone on an idea, not a working production vehicle that has cleared all regulations so until there is a working cybertruck that customers actually can drive and people can test, nerding out on a glorified crowdfunding campaign is all we can do lol.

GMC: “No don't tell him the torque numbers, those are secret. Just give the ratios.”
Jason: 😏
That's marketing for ya 😂
Those guys didn’t do their research
I thought that was pretty funny. They just gave him an excuse to do some math.
who cares about motor torque anyway? Peak motor torque figure does not relate to any practical characteristic of a car. Wheel torque does. Torque curve over rpm does too. You have to be interested in the peak torque if you are engineering the transmission, of course... but we are not engineering a transmission here.
One can build a car with a very-fast-spinning low-torque motor and high gear ratio, or with slow-spinning high-torque motor and small gear ratio, and they will accelerate similarly.

Looks nice! But I'd be scared of how incredibly expensive it might be to repair all of those complicated computers and components.
Edit: saw the price; this is a rich mans toy, no plebs allowed
Warranty exists for a reason; and the idea behind electric is most maintenance is reprogramming modules. They would replace those components as a whole most likely, and they're pretty strict on how far you have to go to condemn one of those things.
Hummers have always been expensive
In "theory" an EV should have far less problems then a gas powered car. It has less moving parts..no tranny, no engine, no exhaust. Tesla thinks the new batteries they are producing could be good for 2 million miles.
With any minor/major repairs you would have to dump the vehicle like the Jaguars. The air suspension was a disaster on the Citroen. All the complex electronics will fail and be discontinued forcing you to buy a new vehicle in only a few years.

Stationary mockups and the premiere video "Simulated vehicle shown throughout"
I saw a few other videos that they have physical drivable prototypes but apparently those are incomplete in terms of features and specs.
Will be interesting to see what the final product delivers, especially on range.
Even if GM delivers on its performance stats and delivery dates, it will still fall pathetically short of Tesla. When the $80k 250 mile HEV2 appears in 2024, the $70k tri-motor CyberTruck - then 3 years old - will probably have over 600 miles.
And what kind of volumes? I predict, by 2025: 600,000 and 30,000 cumulative deliveries for CT and HEV, respectively.
And comparing published prices favors GM: Tesla's prices are the real prices; GM's prices are pre-dealer-markup. And dealer markups on the HEV could be quite steep if supplies are small and unknown to the public.
This has to be my favorite electric vehicle so far. Everything i would want in any vehicle. The other companies have a lot of catchup to do that's for sure.
