The Hummer is one in all a number of electrical vehicles to hit the market this yr.

It’s stunningly succesful off-road, with its distinctive “crab stroll” 4-wheel steering and as much as 18 accessible cameras. They embrace angles that present what’s underneath the truck, permitting drivers to barter almost any path state of affairs.
But it surely’s expensive – when GMC shut down reservations, the Hummer began at almost $87,000, with some variations costing north of $112,000. We don’t know whether or not these costs will return when reservations return, which might be two years away.
