“The GMC Hummer EVs should be the most powerful and compelling electric super trucks ever,” said Duncan Aldred, GMC’s global vice president, in a statement.

A year later, a version valued at $ 99,995 will be available, followed by models valued at $ 89,995 and $ 79,995 in the springs of 2023 and 2024, respectively.

GM President Mark Reuss previously told CNBC that the Decision to revive lobster for electric vehicles was made after a discussion between him, GM CEO Mary Barra and at least one other executive in early 2019 on redesigning Hummer for a new generation of buyers.

“We just wanted to do it. We saw the opportunity for trucks,” Reuss said during GM’s EV Day earlier this year. “We always wanted to do this with lobster, but it had so much baggage from the gas eater’s point of view that we turned it upside down.”

The Hummer pickups, which GM calls the Sport Utility Truck or SUT, will be the first vehicle to feature the automaker’s next-generation electric vehicle platform and batteries under one $ 27 billion plan Switch to electric and autonomous vehicles by 2025.
