Cost $79,995 Base GMC Hummer EV Reported Dead

General Motors has canceled the introduction of the lowest-priced GMC Hummer EV known as the EV2, according to unnamed sources within the company quoted by. GM authority.

The GMC Hummer EV2 was announced in 2021 with a starting price of $79,995 (not including a $2,295 destination charge) but never made it into production. It was supposed to go on sale this spring as a more affordable version of the non-cheap EV, but it looks like GM’s plans have changed.

Just like for the 2024 model year, the 2025 GMC Hummer EV will not have an EV2 trim level, according to GM authority. Instead, the entry-level variant will continue to be the EV2X which starts at $98,845 (plus destination charge) for SUV and pickup body styles.

The EV2 was said to have an estimated range of 250 miles and the same dual-motor powertrain as the EV2X, but with a smaller battery and a shorter list of standard equipment. It was also the only Hummer EV version with a 400 volt pack, whereas currently available kits come with an 800V power source (which is actually a 400V split system.)

In theory, the GMC Hummer EV2 would be the only model that could benefit from the $7,500 tax credit at the time of purchase because it was the only one with an MSRP below the $80,000 limit set by the IRA. If GM put the original projection in place, that is.

We contacted the GMC for an official comment and got the following response: “We have nothing to announce at this time.”

Currently, the longest-range electric Hummer is the EV3X trim with a 24-module battery pack and 22-inch all-terrain wheels, which can travel up to 381 miles on a full charge, according to GMC. This particular version starts at $116,940 but there are Hummer EV versions that can be had with a smaller 20-module battery pack.

These have short driving ranges but are also affordable, with prices starting at $98,845 for the EV2X with a 20-module package that enables a range of 303 miles for the SUV and 311 miles for the pickup. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV EV3X Omega pickup version goes for $150,295.
