GMC Hummer EV. To drive it in Europe you will need to have a truck license

THE GMC Hummer EV , a model that marks the return of Hummer — not as a brand, but as a model integrated into the GMC — is getting closer and closer to North American dealerships (Autumn 2021) and as that moment approaches, we get to know new details about the model.

The last of which is related to its mass, as GM-Trucks.com has just reported that the Special Edition 1 launch version of the Hummer, with all available options, is an impressive 4103 kg (9046 lb) — yes, they read well!

In the United States of America this may not pose a problem, but in Europe this is not the case. The reborn Hummer will, for all intents and purposes, be considered a heavy vehicle, as its curb weight exceeds the 3500 kg gross weight that separates the light from the heavy.

If this information is confirmed, to drive this electric leviathan in Europe it will be necessary to have a heavy or category C license.

It is true that the chances of this electric “monster” reaching Portugal or the European continent are remote, but this small detail can contribute even more so that the electric Hummer is “confined” to the American continent.

1000 hp of power

Defined by its leaders as an "off road beast", the Hummer EV presents itself, in this special Edition 1 version, with four-wheel drive and three electric motors that guarantee 1000 hp of power and 15 592 Nm of maximum torque (at the wheel ).

Thanks to these numbers, it will be able to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.0s. As for autonomy, it will exceed 560 km.
