Zero emissions – if you ignore how the power is produced
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation* will receive $2.5 million from the sale of the first retail production unit of the Hummer EV Edition 1 at an auction on Saturday. Established to honor the memory of Sept. 11 first-responder Stephen Siller, the foundation builds mortgage-free, accessible smart homes for catastrophically-injured veterans and provides free homes for Gold Star families and families of first responders killed on duty.
“We are thrilled with the auction results and what the proceeds will mean for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC.
The GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 is the expensive and lavishly-equipped launch model of GMC’s first full-electric vehicle, with a white exterior and , marketing babble alert, “unique Lunar Horizon interior.” It is powered by General Motors’ new Ultium platform and is designed to be an off-road vehicle with:
- An Off-Road Package with 18-inch wheels, 35-inch-OD tires, underbody armor, underbody cameras1 and more

- Four-Wheel Steer with CrabWalk3 diagonal-drive functionality
- Three-motor e4WD propulsion system (including torque vectoring) with GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower and GM-estimated 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque
- 800-volt DC fast charging4 capability at any of the new 350-kilowatt high output public DC fast charging stations5
- Watts to Freedom6 for maximum acceleration capability, including a GM-estimated 0-60 mph in approximately 3 seconds
- The latest version of Super Cruise7, an optional driver-assistance feature offering hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles (approximately 322,000 km) of enabled roads and featuring new Lane Change on Demand.
