Hummer was GM’s first EV built off its Ultium battery platform. Production has started slowly, but as the automaker ramps up its battery plant in Lordstown, Ohio, GM will be able to boost output of the Hummer pickup and SUV in the first quarter. The company has delivered 781 vehicles as of September 30.
GM also makes the $60,000 Cadillac Lyriq SUV. Next it plans to produce the Hummer SUV, and an electric Chevy Silverado pickup this spring, though the first version will primarily target commercial customers. A mid-sized Hummer would be a few years away but would compete directly with startup Rivian’s R1T pickup truck, which is smaller than the Hummer, Ford’s F-150 Lightning, and the Silverado EV.
