Luckily, we live in 2020, where vehicles like the Cybertruck can exist. So why not an electric Hummer?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"First Ever GMC HUMMER EV | \u201cHorsepower\u201d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gCcs2UxkYvM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>GMC today released a few teaser ads for the Hummer EV, along with a few key details: The vehicle will sport 1,000 horsepower, manage 11,500 lb-ft of torque, will do 0 to 60 in 3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"First Ever GMC HUMMER EV | \u201cTorque\u201d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jyswrY4Eqk4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s supercar-level acceleration for a gas vehicle, let alone a hulking SUV. It\u2019s also notably just 0.1 seconds away from Tesla\u2019s claimed acceleration on the top configuration of the Cybertruck. Despite this speed, GMC claims some off-roading capability too. It\u2019ll also be quiet \u2013 as expected for an electric vehicle \u2013 which means the name \u201cHummer\u201d actually make a little sense now.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"First Ever GMC HUMMER EV | \u201cSpeed\u201d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i2DUYhsbsSs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The company will also play a 30-second ad during the second quarter of the Super Bowl, but the full reveal will happen on May 20, 2020.
