Company readjusts price of Hummer EV

General Motors Corporation has long refrained from raising the price of its electric vehicles, while competitors regularly rewrite prices, especially Tesla. The once-biggest US automaker raised prices for the Hummer EV family by $6,250 for its entire EV lineup this week. The most affordable pickup truck with two electric motors now costs $84,650, but will have to wait nearly two years.

It will be possible to get a Hummer EV 3X with three electric motors by the fall, but as of this morning it costs $104,650 instead of the previous $98,400. The Hummer EV Edition 1 is still out of print and free cars on the secondary market are usually offered at twice the price. The manufacturer explained the need to raise official retail prices by $6,250, increasing costs for components, technology operations and logistics.

For those who submitted their orders for the Hummer EV before June 18, and there were 77,500 people on the clock, GM is already offering to think about individualizing the cars. For a surcharge, new body colors, an “off-road package” and an updated traction battery will be offered, which will allow the multi-ton colossus to accelerate to 100 km/h in around three seconds. The last option for purchasers of the debut version of Issue 1 was free.

GM's pricing policy for electric vehicles is moving in different directions. If the Cadillac Lyriq is offered at an increased price of $3,000 since May outside the debut limited lot, then the "old" Chevrolet Bolt EV has dropped in price from $32,495 to $26,595 after the model year change. . trying to get rid of electric vehicles on an outdated platform, which tarnished its reputation with the LG Energy Solution faulty battery scandal, which forced a full recall of all units launched since 2017.
