2026 GMC Hummer EV: Faster, More Absurd, with V2V & King Crab Mode

Hummer EV’s Bidirectional Charging

There are purposeful upgrades as well, such as bidirectional charging ability with both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging. This essentially turns the Hummer’s 200+ kilowatt-hour battery right into a moving power bank– with the ability of charging various other EVs, powering tools and also running a home during a blackout. I saw the battery pack at GM’s Technical Center in Michigan recently– it was as large as a king-size bed mattress and weighed nearly 3,000 extra pounds, about the same as an entire BYD Seagull, and concerning 600 lbs more than a Mazda MX-5 Miata.

The GMC Hummer EV has actually constantly been the reverse of the little, economical EVs we’re clamoring for– a 9,000-pound rolling structure that’s unapologetically too much and inefficient. The 2026 GMC Hummer EV is currently even quicker. Regardless of the high $96,550 beginning price for the Hummer EV Pick-up and SUV, GM has in fact taken care of to offer lots of these in the U.S. The automaker marketed 13,993 systems of the EV last year and 3,479 units in the initial quarter of this year– the latter is a 108% year-over-year sales growth, according to Cox Automotive.

Hummer EV Sales and Growth

Despite the steep $96,550 starting rate for the Hummer EV Pickup and SUV, GM has in fact taken care of to sell plenty of these in the U.S. The car manufacturer sold 13,993 units of the EV last year and 3,479 systems in the very first quarter of this year– the last is a 108% year-over-year sales development, according to Cox Automotive. The model year 2025 vehicle obtains 367 miles of EPA range whereas the SUV is good for 314 miles.

Manufacturing and deliveries of the design year 2026 truck will certainly start later on this year. One thing’s clear: one of the most outrageous EVs on the road simply got even more absurd, and possibly even a little bit much more sensible.

King Crab Mode Introduction

The various other significant addition is what GMC calls the “King Crab Mode,” that makes the rear wheels steer faster than the front wheels to make the EV more maneuverable in tight off-road problems. The Hummer EV already had all-wheel guiding– which has actually involved come to be extra common on huge, premium cars and SUVs. Version year 2022 through 2025 will certainly also obtain this function with an over-the-air software upgrade later this year.

Performance Boost: Carbon Fiber Edition

The 2026 GMC Hummer EV is currently even quicker. It’s a tenth quicker to 60 than the Tesla Design 3 Performance in spite of weighing more than double the electrical car. That’s many thanks to the brand-new Carbon Fiber Version, which can zoom to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 secs. It gets all-terrain tires twisted around 22-inch carbon fiber wheels; carbon fiber inserts on the mirror caps and skid plate; and an one-of-a-kind Magnus Gray paint with a Speed Cinder interior style.

The GMC Hummer EV has actually always been the reverse of the small, inexpensive EVs we’re demanding for– a 9,000-pound rolling structure that’s ineffective and unapologetically excessive. For the model year 2026, General Motors has actually turned the absurdity up an additional notch.
