The Hummer SUV and Chevy pickup are expected to be built starting in 2023 or 2024, but those schedules likely will be accelerated. 

General Motors handpicked a roster of off-road enthusiasts to develop the 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup, slated to compete with gasoline-powered off-road offerings from Ford, Jeep and Land Rover.

The electric pickup will be the first EV in GMC's portfolio when production of the Edition 1 variant begins in late 2021 at a Michigan plant GM has renamed Factory Zero.

The automaker unveiled the Hummer pickup just 18 months after development work began, and GM says that timetable will become the standard for future EVs.
