    GMC 1000 HP Convertible Super Truck

    NOTE: ANYBODY STARTS POLITICS OR OIL VS ELECTRICITY BULLSHIT AND I'M HAVING THE THREAD DELETED.


    GMC Released the Hummer EV. 1000 hp, 11,000 FTlbs of torque.

    It's convertible.

    Quadrasteer is back

    Crab steer.

    6" ride height extension.


    Smart cruise.


    350 miles (560km) on a charge.

    0-100km an hr in 3 seconds.

    160km of charge in 10 mins.


    And it's priced the same as a damn Duramax.



    Add in regenerative trailer braking and drive motor units from Al-Ko and you'd have the ultimate towing rig.

      Already reserved one.


      Have to wait an entire year or more to drive it, though.

            Sweet ride, can’t wait to test drive it, if and when ever it comes to SK.

              Why 1000 horse power? Why? In a passenger vehicle?

              Because they can?

              Why not in a highway tractor?

              Oh.....because needing 500 horse power won't get you 560 kms?

              More battery storage?

                Its a dangerous paradox for GM. Promote the new EV's with superior performance and other features. Many buyers may lose interest in existing models and inventory.

                    Until they see price tag

                      What will the range be at -20??
                      We all know what happens to battery capacity as the temp drops.......

                        Diesel heaters will keep the batteries warm.

                          The battery temp is maintained with electric heat. While parked in cold temps they must be plugged into 120v or range will degrade. For sask a heated garage would probably necessary. It may not be suitable for every persons requirements however there are a number of exciting new battery techs on the horizon that will change that. Anyone here use gas motors on their aeration fans?

                            I plug my aeration fan in to a power supply that doesn’t need a battery so not really a comparison. But I do believe there will be better batteries if there is enough funding to develop it. And if politics stays out of it developing.

                            Klaus it’s very difficult to keep politics out of this debate since it is politics that will determine things such as subsidies, infrastructure development etc that will either make or break this industry. It won’t be the technology it will be rhe politics. If it was technology we would have been electric already because it would have been supported to develop a long time ago.

                              I was kinda wondering the same thing but didn't want the thread to disappear.

                              But since you raised the question, when was science, physics or simple, hard reality last practically considered in any contemporary topic such as this...
