GMC Hummer EVs Electrify at SEMA Show

Making its triumphant return to production, GMC’s Hummer is now an electric vehicle…surprising right? Gone are the days of the gas-guzzling H2 with a Dale Earnhardt “3” crudely painted on the driver’s door. GMC has completely reinvented the Hummer series and has done so with climate change in mind, making it the first electric Hummer vehicle to ever be in production. 

For such an exciting return, GMC picked the annual SEMA show to debut the all-new GMC Hummer EV and EV Pickup. The Hummer wasn’t the only thing that was electrified at SEMA, as the crowd was in awe at the amazing reveal of the Hummer EV. Like something out of the future, the Hummer EV boasts aggressive yet sleek styling and a modern look.

Then you’ll want to stop in at Rick Bokman GMC, located in Olean, NY, as we have the largest selection of new, pre-owned and certified pre-owned GMC vehicles available in the Olean area.

Stop, It’s Hummer Time.

Taking center stage at SEMA, GMC decided to show off the Edition 1 lineup of all-new Hummer models to the crowd. One by one, GMC unveiled the electrified Hummers, with the first being a pre-production GMC Hummer EV SUV, so fans would have an idea of what to come. The family-oriented Hummer SUV will be fully-electric and capable of taking you and your family wherever you want to go, all without the cost of fuel. 

Next up, GMC revealed a production Hummer EV Pickup, to which the crowd responded well. However, the true crowd-pleaser was the decked-out Hummer EV Pickup that was revealed next, boasting a plethora of available GMC accessories while calling attention to the benefits of this new EV pickup lineup.

GMC wasn’t yet finished wowing the visitors at SEMA, as they also brought along the Chip Ganassi Racing Extreme-E electric off-road race vehicle, which was inspired by the GMC Hummer EV. This racing variant of the Hummer EV is a great proof-of-concept, showing future Hummer EV owners what may be possible on their new SUV. 

Custom, You Say?

“The all-new GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV naturally lend themselves to the growing demand for personalization,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “Their commanding looks draw attention wherever they go, and our accessories portfolio is designed to offer customers more choices to tailor their vehicle with off-road functionality, lifestyle integration and styling enhancements.”

A recent study done by the officials at SEMA shows that an estimated $40 billion was spent on automotive customization and aftermarket parts in 2020, with pickup customization leading that statistic. Keeping this in mind, GMC decided to offer plenty of customization options with the all-new Hummer EV lineup, allowing customers to put their own unique touch on the Hummer. 

Customization and unique looks are nothing new to Hummer enthusiasts, as the Hummer itself is a vehicle that stands out from the crowd. However, being unique and different is somewhat of identity for Hummer owners, and with the new Hummer EV lineup, more of the same is to be expected. 

“We knew from the outset that the strong character of the HUMMER EV would inspire a high degree of personalization from owners,” said Humberto Ortiz, lead designer for performance accessories. “The accessories developed for GMC HUMMER EVs are inspired by its extreme performance capabilities. The accessories’ design and functionality integration make them extensions of the vehicles themselves.”

Those customers that do opt to customize their Hummer EV will be able to easily use those accessories with the new virtual auxiliary switches included on the Hummer EV’s driver infotainment center. Customers that have accessories like off-road lighting or winches will be able to map the control functions to digital auxiliary switches that are easily accessible from the driver seat. Never before has an off-road capable vehicle been so advanced.

A plethora of accessories and customization options will be available on the all-new Hummer EV lineup, so each Hummer can be unique to its owner. From unique tow hook colors to a lunar map, there will be plenty of customization options to choose from. Other customization options and accessories include the following:

• A hard Power Retractable Tonneau Cover
• An off-road recovery kit
• A 50-inch roof-mounted off-road light bar
• Front off-road auxiliary lights
• Rocker protector with integrated assist steps
• A bold, uniquely styled bed-mounted vertical spare tire carrier
• Sky Panel Storage Tray Set for eTrunk^TM
• Unique accessory wheel design in Tech Bronze (with Tech Bronze center cap and black lugs)
• Under-seat organizer and I-Bar storage
• Cargo management rails
