How the GMC Hummer EV Shifted Gears Into a New Era of Efficiency and Performance

The Hummer EV isn’t just about going green. It’s about going bold. With up to 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, this all-electric powerhouse zooms from 0 to 60 mph in as little as three seconds. The best part? It delivers all this performance with zero tailpipe emissions and a whisper-quiet ride. The GMC Hummer EV proves that you don’t have to choose between raw power and sustainability.

1. CrabWalk Mode: What It Is and Why It’s Awesome

CrabWalk mode is one of the Hummer EV’s most viral innovations. This unique feature enables the truck to move diagonally by turning all four wheels in the same direction at low speeds. Imagine maneuvering out of a tight parking spot, gliding past obstacles on a rocky trail, or impressing your friends with a move no other truck can match. CrabWalk mode is more than a party trick—it’s a genuine game-changer.

How Does CrabWalk Mode Work?

Using CrabWalk mode is easy. Activate CrabWalk at crawl speeds (about 1.2 mph) using the Driver Mode Control dial. The rear wheels mimic the front wheels’ angle, allowing diagonal movement up to 10°.

When to Use CrabWalk Mode

CrabWalk is ideal for navigating cities and going off-road alike. It allows you to easily avoid obstacles, navigate narrow trails, or simplify parallel parking–a huge plus for a vehicle of such a huge size. 

2. Extreme Off-Roading Capabilities

The Hummer EV is engineered for adventure and off-roading. Its adaptive air suspension can raise the vehicle for extra ground clearance, while underbody armor and skid plates protect vital components. The available UltraVision system provides up to 18 camera views—including underbody cameras—so you can spot every rock and rut before you hit it. With four-wheel steering, locking differentials, and massive off-road tires, the Hummer EV is ready for everything from Ozarks trails to urban construction sites.

3. Fast Charging to Get Back on the Road

Range anxiety is a thing of the past. The Hummer EV supports 800-volt DC fast charging, allowing you to add up to 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a compatible station. With a total range of up to 350 miles, you can take on road trips, commutes, and weekend getaways with confidence. 

Whether you’re charging at home or using Springfield’s growing network of public chargers, you’ll spend less time plugged in and more time exploring. Thompson Sales offers four electric vehicle charging stations to keep you charged up and ready to go.

4. Cutting-Edge Connectivity and Infotainment

Step inside the Hummer EV and you’re greeted by a digital cockpit designed for the modern driver. A massive 13.4-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch driver display put navigation, media, and vehicle controls at your fingertips. Google built-in brings voice-activated Google Assistant, Maps, and Play Store apps right to your dash. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep you connected, while over-the-air updates ensure your tech stays current.

Premium materials, heated and ventilated seats, and a panoramic Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panels create an open-air driving experience unlike any other. The cabin is designed for both comfort and durability, with ample space for passengers and gear. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend adventure or a night on the town, every drive feels first-class.

6. Impressive Towing and Payload Power

Think an electric vehicle can’t handle the heavy lifting? Think again. Despite its electric heart, the Hummer EV hasn’t forgotten its roots as a workhorse. With a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a substantial payload rating, it’s ready to haul boats, trailers, or weekend toys with ease. Advanced trailering technology, including hitch guidance and camera views, makes towing safer and simpler—even for first-timers.

Take the stress out of highway travel with available Super Cruise®, GMC’s advanced hands-free driving technology. On compatible roads, Super Cruise® lets you relax while the Hummer EV handles steering, acceleration, and braking.
