This Upcoming Electric Supertruck Can Accelerate From 0 To 100 Kmph In 2.8 Seconds
American automaker, GMC recently unveiled the 2026 Hummer EV. The Hummer EV when it was launched was the first EV supertruck, thereby carving a niche. The 2026 GMC Hummer EV will boast new software-enables King Crab off-road rear-steer mode along with faster acceleration of 0 to 96 kmph in 2.8 seconds.
The 2026 Hummer EV launch is an introduction to King Crab, an all-new advanced rear-steer mode experience. King Crab uses the Hummer EV’s standard four-wheel steer agility to improve maneuverability in off-road settings. The feature is standard across the 2X and 3X Pickup and SUV trims.
The rear wheels turn faster than the front wheels resulting in more maneuverability when navigating tight spaces off-road, moving around obstacles or rock crawling. King Crab is expected to launch to all 2022 through 2025 Hummer EV Pickup and SUV owners through an over-the-air update available later this year.
“The refreshed Hummer EV enhances an already amazing vehicle with new software innovations and forward-thinking design. From the start, we aimed to provide Hummer EV owners over-the-air software updates. All 2026 Hummer EV owners will have access to our latest software going forward, allowing new features to be introduced throughout the vehicle's lifecycle,” said Al Oppenheiser, GMC Hummer EV chief engineer.
The 2026 model reveals the exclusive Hummer EV Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup and SUV with only a limited number scheduled for production. Available for the 3X Pickup and SUV, this is the latest limited edition under the Hummer EV nameplate.
Enabled by the available 24-module battery, the Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup launches from 0 to 96 kmph in 2.8 seconds. The supertruck has been made faster through optimization of software and propulsion calibration, as well as developments in hardware and analysis work.
All Carbon Fiber Edition Pickups and SUVs feature an exclusive Magnus Gray Matte exterior and Velocity Ember interior theme with colors selected to show movement and form.
Additionally, the 2026 Hummer EV will offer bidirectional charging capability for both vehicle-to-vehicleand vehicle-to-home. With vehicle-to-vehicle, the 2026 Hummer EV can transfer power to another compatible EV while a vehicle-to-home-capable 2026 Hummer EV can provide power to a home in a blackout when properly equipped.
Moreover, the 2026 Hummer EV also comes with enhanced Super Cruise, a hands-free advanced driver assistance system which includes Hands on Lane Change Assist (HOLCA), which allows for transition between non-Super Cruise mapped and Super Cruise-mapped roads. In addition, Super Cruise will offer a Lane Change for Route feature to automatically change lanes on Super Cruise-mapped roads if the vehicle’s built-in map is being used.
In addition to that, the 24-module Hummer EV 3X Pickup delivers 1,144 bhp and 17,625 Nm of torque. Further optimization of the Hummer EV's damper tuning has resulted in improved overall ride quality.
On the interior, the 13.4-inch diagonal GMC infotainment center includes a customisable split view screen for consistent access to important vehicle data. Google Built-In brings expanded entertainment options to enjoy while charging. Powered by OnStar connectivity1, owners will receive intelligent EV routing, voice assistance and access to apps like Chrome, GameSnacks, and Prime Video.
Expected to be launched later this year in the US market, the production of the 2026 HUMMER EV will begin at GM’s Factory ZERO Assembly Center in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan later this year.
