) plans to build a new family of premium electric pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles at its Detroit-Hamtramck plant beginning in late 2021, possibly reviving the imposing Hummer brand on some of them, several people familiar with the plans said.
GM is mirroring the approach electric carmaker Tesla Inc took by starting in the high end and then moving down the price ladder, he said. Before then, GM plans to begin low-volume production in late 2021 of the first BT1 model, a pickup, under a different brand, the source said. A performance variant of the pickup will be added to that brand in 2022, followed by an electric SUV in 2023.
The pickups and SUVs in the BT1 family will use a new dedicated electric vehicle architecture, including a “skateboard” chassis that bundles electric motor and batteries, the sources said. Fiorani expects the GM electric truck to sell at around $90,000 or more, while the other vehicles will easily top $100,000.
GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in April the automaker would make an electric full-size pickup, but provided no further details. The company has said it plans to invest $8 billion to develop electric and self-driving vehicles, launching 20 new EVs globally by 2023.
HEMP we want the cars to run on HEMP nothing that requires Fossil ~
bollingermotors is doing it better already. GM is, and should be scared that they're losing badly in this race. thefutureiselectric
they should name it an Electric Blow Job tho.
Damn it would be so cheap to run a ev hummer
An electric hummer could rip your junk off
An environmentally friendly bus, sold to people who are actively hostile to the environment? Who is the genius who thought this up? When GM fails it will be their own fault.
Electric Hummer
Who would you market that to anyways? Some who cares about the environment, but doesn't want to look like they do? 🤨
Is hummer seriously still a brand?
Why? It’ll need larger batteries. Lithium mine!
_General_Motors Not everyone needs the carrying capacity of a Hummer. Why don't you focus on making a sub-$20k electric 4-door sedan? That would be a hit because I sure as hell will never buy a $70k automobile.
An electric hummer sounds like the kind of sexiness that our auto industry needs.
Why?
That was her nickname btw
The best engine for big trucks is a... wind. Windmills located in the truck walls move electricity generating alternators while driving. Easy..., I can sell this patent for a low level of money...
Please no
Phase 2 of The Silent Eggy Hummer Project?
