Overview
The 2025 GMC HUMMER EV is GM's halo electric vehicle — the technological showcase of what the Ultium platform can achieve. As an off-road demonstration vehicle, it is unmatched by any production vehicle globally.
Available as a pickup (bed) and SUV, the HUMMER EV competes with the Rivian R1T (pickup) and R1S (SUV) and the Tesla Cybertruck — all at a higher price point.
The HUMMER EV is not just a vehicle — it's GM's statement that electrification doesn't mean sacrifice. 830 hp, 4-wheel steer, 350-kW charging, and 314-mile range in an off-road icon.

Electric Powertrain
EPA-rated range is tested at moderate speed/temp. Real-world at 70 mph is approximately 244 miles. Cold weather (32°F) reduces range ~28%. Towing near max capacity reduces range 50–60%. Always plan charging stops when towing long distances.
11,500 lb-ft at the wheel (not the crankshaft) is achieved by the electric motors' multiplication through the drivetrain. It's what enables rock crawling at barely above idle.
The tri-motor HUMMER EV produces a staggering 830 hp and up to 11,500 lb-ft of wheel torque — more torque at the wheel than any other production vehicle. This massive output powers an equally massive vehicle: 9,000+ lbs of HUMMER.
Range on the 3X reaches 314 miles — impressive for a vehicle this large. DC fast charging at up to 350 kW adds ~100 miles in 12 minutes.
Off-Road Capability
The Ultium-based HUMMER EV has an integrated underbody shield protecting the battery pack against rock strikes. It's rated for off-road obstacle contact — not just road debris.
CrabWalk uses four-wheel steering to move the vehicle diagonally — all four wheels turn in the same direction. This dramatically reduces the effective turning radius in tight trail situations.
Extract Mode raises the air suspension 6 inches above the standard ride height, enabling escape from deep ruts, rocks, or water without winching.
Unique Features
The HUMMER EV is the most talked-about vehicle at any trailhead, gas station, or parking lot. Its combination of retro-futurist design, extreme capability, and environmental incongruity makes it uniquely American.
Sky Panels (removable transparent roof panels) come standard on SUV. A 13.4-inch LVDS touchscreen with Google built-in, Super Cruise availability, and an off-road camera system round out the feature list.
Despite the HUMMER's size, the electric drivetrain makes it remarkably quiet on-road — a jarring (pleasant) surprise vs the noise of its gas predecessor.
Reliability
HUMMER EV reliability data is limited — it's a new, complex vehicle. Early production had some software and charging issues. GM has been active with OTA updates. Buy with extended warranty protection.
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tri-Motor System | Average (early) | Complex system; some early failures; improving with OTAs |
| Battery Pack | Good | Ultium pack proving robust; thermal management solid |
| DC Fast Charging | Average | Some 350-kW session failures; software updates ongoing |
| Air Suspension | Average | Complex system; some early compressor issues |
| Electronics/LVDS | Average | Complex vehicle; many OTA updates required |
| Overall | Average | New platform; early adopter reliability risk; improving |
Consult Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and NHTSA for the specific model year you are considering. Build year matters significantly.
