Similarly, the range may vary depending on temperature, battery age, terrain, and usage and maintenance of the vehicle.
Other features of the GMC Hummer EV are:
FULL UNDERBODY ARMOUR
The HUMMER EV is protected in harsh off-roading conditions by using durable steel plates and shields around the differential and battery pack, as well as by full underbody armour, skid plates, and rock sliders.
This protects the Hummer in extreme off-roading areas.
DYNAMIC SUSPENSION
The available Adaptive Air Suspension adjusts the GMC HUMMER EV’s ride height for different conditions automatically. It lowers the height for easy entry and exit and better aerodynamics. Similarly, the suspension automatically increases the height for improved ground conditions.
Continuous Damping Adaptive Ride Control adjusts damping levels by responding to on-road inputs for enhanced ride dynamics. When the vehicle is off-road, it unlocks additional refinements based on shock travels.
EXTRACT MODE
The extract mode helps you cross a tough spot, a large stone, or any obstacle blocking the Hummer or anything that can collide with the engine.
In this mode, the Adaptive Air Ride Suspensions are activated to raise the vehicle 6 inches. This helps you surmount obstacles without causing damage to the engine. This also helps in crossing water banks.
4-WHEEL STEERING
The GMC Hummer Electric truck has a 4-wheel steering system. This helps the hummer turn as tightly as a common car. This also helps to drive diagonally.
The 4-wheel steering system helps change lanes on a highway, climb on rocky surfaces and pull into parking spots.
The shorter wheelbase further tightens the turning radius.
CRABWALK
Crabwalk is one of the most unique features of the GMC Hummer EV. Using the 4-wheel steering system, you will be able to move the Hummer diagonally. Torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering also help in this mode.
The crabwalk mode can help you get in and out of tight spaces. It is a feature no other vehicle of this size can match.

Multiple cameras give you a digital overhead image of the area around your GMC Hummer EV. Soundvision gives you the ease to navigate tight spaces at low speeds and manoeuvre off-road.
