Last summer the Wall Street Journal reported that GM was only building about 12 Hummer EVs per day. GM expects to produce the Hummer EV series at a much faster pace than last year.

The Hummer EV provides a single motor, dual motor, three-motor power system, the maximum power can exceed 1000 horsepower, the maximum torque can exceed 15592N・m, 100 km acceleration in 3 seconds or less, with the acceleration performance of the supercar.

Closing the reservation channel is also a way for GM to focus on fulfilling existing orders. GM said it plans to close reservations for both vehicles starting Thursday. Anyone who still wants a Hummer EV will have to pre-order by Wednesday.

GM has been slowly ramping up production of the Hummer electric pickup since earlier this year. As of the end of June this year, the company had delivered fewer than 400 Hummer electric pickups. Deliveries of the Hummer electric SUV are expected to begin in early 2023.

Duncan Aldred, GM’s global head, said the Hummer electric SUV should be produced faster than the electric pickup, which is the first consumer-grade vehicle to use GM’s next-generation Ultium battery and vehicle platform. car.

“We know this year is going to be a slow ramp-up. But next year it will normalize,” he said at the Detroit Auto Show last week. “When we make SUVs, there should be a massive acceleration… Next year is a big year for the Hummer EV, whether it’s a pickup truck or an SUV.”

GM is following in the footsteps of Ford in making this decision. Ford previously closed preorders for the F-150 electric pickup as orders had reached about 200,000 units. Ford also closed reservations for the Mustang electric SUV, but has since reopened it to consumers.

GM is reportedly currently only able to produce the new electric version of the Hummer at a rate of 12 vehicles per day, far below the current capacity of other manufacturers. GM admits that production is ramping up more slowly than usual because they are producing the new model on an all-new platform.

GM says the slower pace at which the model is being produced is to ensure that it achieves the level of quality the company is aiming for. The company expects production of the electric Hummer to ramp up significantly in the second half of the year as the new Ohio battery plant, a joint venture between GM and LG Chem, begins producing batteries. Currently, the batteries used in the model are shipped from outside the United States by LG Chem.

Commenting on the 77,000-unit order for the electric version of Hummer and the slower capacity ramp-up, a GM spokesperson said, “As we vertically integrate our production of electric cells, our ability to meet market demand will increase. Vehicle deliveries will ramp up from the hundreds to the thousands later this year.”

In addition to the Ohio battery plant, GM and LG Chem will build another joint venture plant, which is expected to be located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, at a cost of $2.3 billion and is expected to be completed in 2023. With these two battery superplants, GM will be able to meet its demand for batteries. GM expects to launch a total of about 30 all-electric models across all of its brands by 2030.
