• https://insideevs.com,By: InsideEVs Editorial Team

10 years after the brand was put to rest - Hummer is back as an EV.

The newly unveiled Hummer EV has 1000 horsepower, around 1000 lb-ft of torque and 0-62mph or 0-100kmh in less than three seconds. Numbers that would make any other pickup weep at the tailpipe.

Let's take a look. And remember if you like this video, please give us a thumbs-up, and subscribe to the channel, hit that notification bell so you never miss a show.

Styling
GM has been pretty faithful to the original design of the Humvee, the vehicle designed to do anything, go anywhere, get American troops out of trouble. In fact, they used to dump these Humveesn out of military helicopters. So they were built pretty tough back in the day. The version they unveiled was running on 35 in tires but it can accommodate 37-inch tires like the original Hummer.

Truck fans will be pleased to hear there's a back window that drops down to get some fresh air in the cabin. And if you want to go Alfresco. The whole roof comes off in four separate sections, and it stows away inside the huge frunk. They call it Infinity Roof. There's a five-foot bed, the tailgate can fit speakers if you want to have a party.

Battery
The battery on the Hummer EV is good for 350 miles of range and there are over 200-kilowatt hours of stored energy. This is a double-decker battery. Each module in the Hummer has 24 pouch cells stacked, standing upright. And every 12 modules make up each of the two layers. A total of 576 battery cells. The 800-volt battery system charges at 350kW, making it future proof for the next generation of chargers. And yet it has a clever system of splitting the battery in half to charge at all the existing 400-volt chargers.
