GMC has confirmed that it will build an all-electric Hummer with 1,000 horsepower and 0-60mph in 3 seconds. There is also a premium TV ad spot to start the marketing campaign rolling.
An ad for the Hummer EV will air during the Super Bowl football game this Sunday (February 2nd). The ad is titled "Quiet Revolution." GMC says the spot "juxtaposes the staggering anticipated performance metrics of GMC's first all-electric truck with the remarkable quietness inherent in the operation of an electric vehicle". The 30-second TV spot is scheduled to air during the second quarter of the game.
