After much anticipation and teasing, GMC has unveiled its new Hummer EV all-electric pickup truck. The name “Hummer “harkens back to some of the most polarizing, notoriously fuel-thirsty SUVs ever made —but the ‘Muricah branding belies what should be one of the most sophisticated and capable vehicles on the road when it comes to market.
This, after all, is a pickup truck that will be able to accelerate like a Porsche, outperform a Jeep off-road, more or less drive itself on the highway — all without ever using a drop of gasoline.
Here’s what you need to know about the new electric Hummer.
