Question: Have you ever participated in any sort of Ironman contest? A gruelling test of Spartan proportions – putting you through the extremes – whittling you down to bare bones. Until the inessential is stripped away, and what’s left is a raw tank of a being – the ultimate beast from the abyss.
Relate? That’s exactly what GMC has planned for the Hummer EV.
Follow the Hummer EV’s testing and development journey as a team of brave engineers goes all Bear Grylls – moving from extreme climate to extreme climate in the lead-up to its production debut this fall.
Freezing in Michigan
First up – Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Harsh winter conditions. Sub-zero temperatures. Slippery surfaces. Snow, ice, steep and split-mu grades. Not for the faint hearted.

Test 2: Calibrating and testing the electronic stability control system.
The stakes are high. Will the Hummer EV survive? Check out this badass video to find out how it fared!
