'The GMC Hummer EV -- unlike any EV before it -- is a brilliant execution of a terrible idea,' writes Peter Valdes-Dapena.
With the GMC Hummer EV, General Motors designers and executives wanted to create a vehicle that would destroy stereotypes about electric vehicles and what they're capable of doing. On that count, the GMC Hummer EV is a remarkable success. It is unlike any EV -- or really, any vehicle with any form of power -- before it.
I just hope that EV stereotypes are the only things Hummers will be crashing through. Weighing over 9,000 pounds, the GMC Hummer EV has twice the mass of many other gas-powered SUVs, let alone ordinary cars. In the event of a crash, that mass could represent a serious risk to others on the road. After spending a day test driving the Hummer on-road and off, I was impressed by its capabilities, but I was left worried that its mass paired with its power could be dangerous.
