GM is reportedly canceling the GMC Hummer EV EV2 base model

Back in October 2020, General Motors (GM) officially launched the GMC Hummer EV. The car was expensive in both dimensions and size, but it was reasonable with a starting price of just $80,000 for its base EV2 trim. This reduction, according to a recent report, has reportedly been canceled by the veteran automaker.

At the time of the Hummer EV launch, GM noted that the base EV2 trim wouldn’t be available until Spring 2024, which was more than three years away at the time. The EV2 trim isn’t a bad car for its price, as it was expected to have two electric motors producing 625 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. However, its range was expected to be only 250 miles per charge and it would not have features such as Crabwalk, variable air suspension, and four-wheel steering.

Citing industry sources, GM authority recently reported that there will be no base EV2 trim for the Hummer EV. This wasn’t surprising as the Hummer EV continues to sell in limited numbers, but it’s still disappointing as the EV2 variant is the cheapest variant of the electric pickup truck. Without its EV2 trim, the Hummer EV will remain a niche-focused vehicle that will simply maintain its current production and delivery figures.

GM noted that the Hummer EV delivered 2,028 units during Q4 2023. Specifically, there were only 825 units of the Hummer EV pickup truck and 1,203 units of the Hummer EV SUV that were delivered to customers during the quarter. Despite him low sales for yearsThe Hummer EV has drawn some attention, with the first ever Hummer EV SUV fetching $500,000 at auction and GM Defense unveiling a tactical version of the vehicle last June.

The Hummer has always been considered an over-the-top car, especially when it was still marketed as a combustion-powered SUV. Based on research from the EV community, it appears that the Hummer EV is still the same as its combustion-powered predecessor, with initial charging attempts at an Electrify America facility resulting in an all-electric pickup truck crashing ~ $100 bill from EV charging station.
