We floor it off-road in quite possibly the wildest EV ever made: the GMC Hummer EV ⚡️
Mammoth electric Hummer testedfor the electric age, meaning it now literally hums.
And, despite being electric, it still very much looks like Hummers of old. It’s blocky, clean cut and manages to look even heavier than it is. The whole ‘grille’ arrangement glows, with neat H-shaped DRLs at each end that incorporate scrolling indicators in them, there are tow hooks everywhere and you can even lift out the roof panels . GM also says the Hummer EV can power devices from external outlet sockets, similar to Hyundai Motor Group’s V2L tech.
On top of that, the Hummer has rear-wheel steering included, with 10º of lock being applied during turning to aid manoeuvrability. You can turn it off if you like, or even utilise one of the Hummer’s most unique features: Crab Walk. That bit of tech allows the Hummer to strafe from side to side, steering the rear wheels in the same direction. GM says it means this gigantic EV can practically side-step obstacles in off-road situations.
But, as we slow down into a muddy rutted track through the trees, that’s where I might need that physics book back. The brakes are there, working their hardest but, even with energy regeneration at play for the battery pack, the stoppers feel rather weak. We are on gravel, though – perhaps there’d be more bite on tarmac.
Even with fierce lumps and bumps, though, the Hummer’s adaptive air suspension gives you the sense that most of them aren’t even that big of a deal; there is very little in the way of intrusion into the cabin or via the wheel.
