The GMC Hummer EV (also known as Hummer EV and badged as HEV) is a line of battery electric full-size vehicles produced by General Motors under the GMC marque, and its own sub-brand. The Hummer EV line was introduced in October 2020 with the unveiling of the pickup truck (SUT) model.

For more than half its life as a consumer vehicle, the Hummer has been a product of General Motors. So it is today, marketed through GM's GMC brand. Although short, the Hummer name's history is storied.

Detroit The GMC Hummer EV is produced exclusively at the GM Factory Zero plant in Detroit. Note that no GMC Hummer EV units were produced in December of 2022 or January of 2023, during which time the GM Factory Zero plant was taken offline for upgrades in support of production of the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV.

16,088 GM Authority says that GMC already produced 16,088 electric Hummers since October 2021, including 11,058 during the first seven months of 2023.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance For now, the only powertrain available in the Hummer EV is a setup with three electric motors that make 1000 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard, and in our testing, the Hummer EV rocketed to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds thanks to its Watts to Freedom launch control driving mode.

Called the High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or simply Humvee), the proposal would kickstart a competition for the military's next do-anything workhorse. The preliminary design work began that year with the first engineering prototype vehicle completed by July 1980.

Hummer (stylized in all caps) is a brand of pickups and SUVs that was first marketed in 1992 when AM General began selling a civilian version of the M998 Humvee.

Hummer is a civilian offshoot of the military Humvee produced by AM General, a South Bend, Indiana, manufacturer of military and heavy vehicles. AM General began producing Humvees in Mishawaka, Indiana, in 1984, launching the civilian version of Hummer in 1992.

Production. AM General Hummer H1 Assembly Plant, Mishawaka, Indiana – 500,000-square-foot plant (46,000 m2) opened in 1984 to build HMMWV (HUMVEE) and began production of the H1 in 1992.

The production of the Hummer EV has since increased, culminating in June 2023's 2,750 units. With the production of the Hummer EV seemingly hitting its stride, it would be interesting to see how many of the all-electric pickup trucks would be sold each month.

GMC Hummer EV production resumed this past February and quickly ramped up, reaching 2,750 units produced for the month of June, 2023.

General Motors GM purchase In December 1999, AM General sold the brand name to General Motors, but continued to manufacture the vehicles. GM was responsible for the marketing and distribution of all civilian Hummers produced by AM General.

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle or HMMWV (Humvee is a colloquialism) was conceived by the US Army as a versatile modernisation of Jeep trucks like the M715 and the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV).

Originally designed for the military, Hummers are famous for their size, off-road capability, and of course, fuel consumption. The latter proved to be the Hummer's Achilles' heel.

Use in combat. HMMWVs first saw combat in Operation Just Cause, the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. The HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport behind front lines, not as a front line fighting vehicle.
