GMC’s Hummer has always been a vehicle that evokes strong reactions. From its origins as a military vehicle to its civilian adaptations in the late 90s, the Hummer brand carved a unique, if controversial, niche in automotive history. After a period of dormancy following 2010, the Hummer nameplate has been resurrected for the electric age, and the 2024 Hummer EV SUV is making waves, particularly when it comes to its impressive Ev Hummer Range.
Having test-driven the pickup version of the Hummer EV previously, the sheer size of the SUV still comes as a surprise. Classified as a class 3 medium-duty truck, this vehicle is substantial. While at 196.8 inches (5,000 mm) it is slightly shorter than its pickup sibling, this measurement doesn’t account for the prominent spare tire mounted on the rear, which further extends its length. Navigating urban environments and parking lots becomes an immediate consideration for potential owners.

Its 86.5-inch (2,196 mm) width barely squeezes between parking space lines, and entering or exiting the vehicle can be a challenge if neighboring vehicles are parked close by. The vehicle’s height is also noteworthy. With 10.2 inches (259 mm) of ground clearance in its normal suspension setting and an overall height of 77.8 inches (1,976 mm), climbing into the Hummer EV SUV is a literal climb. While an entry mode lowers the vehicle using its air suspension, remembering to activate it upon parking is essential.
The Hummer EV SUV’s weight is equally imposing. Tipping the scales at 9,063 lbs (4,119 kg), its mass exceeds four metric tons. This considerable weight is partly attributed to the massive 217.7 kWh battery pack. This enormous battery is a key factor in the vehicle’s ev hummer range. Despite a less-than-aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.5 and a large frontal area, this substantial battery capacity allows the Hummer EV SUV to achieve an EPA-estimated range of 314 miles (503 km) on a full charge.

The test vehicle indicated a range of 358 miles on a full charge, according to GM’s internal testing. It’s worth noting that as a class 3 truck, the Hummer EV SUV doesn’t strictly adhere to standard EPA testing procedures. However, these figures point towards a robust and impressive ev hummer range for such a large and powerful electric vehicle, making range anxiety less of a concern for potential owners.
