For years, eco-friendly Hummer fans have been conflicted. How can one rectify the urge to protect Mother Nature with the overwhelming, primal need to climb into a military-grade gas guzzler? Waffle no more, because the 2024 Hummer EV is finally available — if you already reserved one. This beefy, tactically-styled electric mega ute boasts enough bells and whistles to justify the luxury price tag — like Hummer’s proprietary “crab walk” tech.
The Great Recession of 2008 was a death knell for GMC’s original run of Hummer vehicles, as the badge was retired in 2010. Gone are the days of Arnold Schwarzenegger pulling up to movie premieres in decommissioned military Humvees. As trucks and SUVs got bigger and bigger over the next decade, GMC saw a chance to bring the brand back as an all-electric, edgy competitor to the increasingly ubiquitous Land Rover. Joe Biden even got to test-drive one.
Will GMC’s big bet on electrifying an old war machine whose name became synonymous with excess and air pollution pay off? Let’s see what makes the 2024 Hummer EV stand out in an increasingly crowded field.

Interior and tech
The Hummer EV SUV borrows much of its interior from the EV SUT’s design. As you’d expect, it’s cavernous and should offer plentiful legroom to your professional athlete friends. As with the EV SUT, the 2024 Hummer EV SUV features an Infinity Roof that is fully removable, including the i-bar — in case you live in a part of America that is not rotten with forest fire smoke during peak road trip season. You can even stash the roof panels in the spacious (11 cu ft.) “eTrunk.”
While the console features multiple large screens for infotainment and the driver’s side dashboard, GMC has included a number of customizable physical buttons to control various aspects of the car — including a T-shaped shifter and rotary drive mode selector. This means 2024 Hummer EV SUV owners will have more controls at their fingertips, instead of hidden beneath an elaborate vehicle operating system.
In terms of technological advancements, GMC proudly introduces the Super Cruise feature for the 2024 Hummer EV. This hands-free driving capability extends to over 200,000 miles of roads in the U.S., even encompassing lane changes. Enhancing safety and situational awareness, the vehicle is equipped with HD Surround Vision, utilizing 14 cameras to provide a comprehensive view of your surroundings. The GMC press release further teases the availability of approximately 200 additional accessories, offering ample opportunities for personalization to suit individual preferences for the 2024 Hummer EV.

2024 Hummer EV electric range and charging times
The Hummer EV SUV sets itself apart from the competition with its optional Power Station generator. Unlike Ford’s F-150, which generates power from its internal combustion engine, the Hummer’s Power Station is all electric and promises up to 25 amps (3.0 kW) for 120-volt power or 6.0 kW at 240 volts (for charging other EVs). This power-sharing feature might not get your pal’s car all the way up to 100%, but in most cases, it should be more than enough to jumpstart a stranded electric vehicle.

Engine and performance
The Hummer EV SUV was built around GMC’s top-of-the-line Ultium platform, a “flexible battery architecture” that according to the automaker is going to “change [your] life.” This new approach to manufacturing and aligning batteries allows GMC to create EVs that apparently have “a near 50/50 weight distribution of the vehicle and a lower center of gravity, which together result in a vehicle that’s sporty, responsive and allows for spirited driving.”

- Rear motors: 2 permanent-magnet synchronous AC

Design changes
While the 2024 Hummer EV SUV shares design elements with its SUT counterpart, GMC has dedicated attention to distinctive features. Unique electrified details adorn badges and the interior, enhancing the futuristic design. The showcases a power swing-out tailgate with a full-sized spare, revealing a cavernous cabin that offers an expansive 81.8 cubic feet of space when the rear seats are folded down.
For those who crave even more space, the rear door swings fully open, providing an unobstructed 48-inch opening—ideal for activities like tailgating, camping, or hastily packing up belongings when faced with the threat of repossession for your $100k SUV. GMC has spared no effort in ensuring that the Hummer EV stands out not only for its performance but also for its attention to SUV-specific details that cater to diverse lifestyle needs.
The SUT distinguishes itself with a truck bed instead of an enclosed rear cabin. This configuration contributes to the Hummer EV truck being 20 inches longer than its SUV counterpart, measuring 216.8 inches compared to the SUV’s 196.8 inches, and featuring a wheelbase that extends almost 9 inches longer (135.6 inches versus 126.7 inches). Unsurprisingly, the truck also exhibits a lengthier rear overhang (46.5 inches compared to 35.5 inches). These variations significantly impact off-road performance metrics, influencing the departure angle (SUV: 49.0 degrees versus SUT: 38.4 degrees) and breakover angle (SUV: 34.4 degrees versus SUT: 32.2 degrees).
2024 Hummer EV review round-up
Reservations for the 2024 Hummer EV SUV are currently full, so it could be a while until the team here at Acceleramota gets our hands on one, so here’s a quick round-up of some thoughts from around the world of automobile journalism.
The Hummer EV SUV defies a lot of expectations. It accelerates like a sports car, handles like it’s thousands of pounds lighter, and charms with the improbability of it all. There’s not much on-pavement grip, but it’s capable off-road, and you’ll never have to worry about sucking water into the intake. There’s a lot of weight here, but there’s also a lot of everything. Born of attitude and consequently full of attitude, the Hummer EV SUV left us thoroughly entertained.
Tony Quiroga – Car & Driver
The Hummer SUV is a riot on the road, but when pavement gives way to dirt, the real fun begins. With specs that rival Jeep’s Wrangler Rubicon, the Hummer SUV boasts an approach angle of 49.6 degrees, a breakover angle of 34.4 degrees, and a departure angle of 45.6 degrees. (Removing the spare tire bumps departure angle up to 49.0 degrees.) It also has up to 16 inches of ground clearance and 13 inches of wheel travel, can climb an 18-inch vertical wall, and can ford up to 32 inches of water.
Jason Gonderman – Motor Trend
It shouldn’t make any sense. But drive it for a couple of days and you realise being sensible is for other vehicles. The Hummer is about fun.
