GM’s electric Hummer production is slow, with a daily output of only 12

IT House July 2 news, General Motors is currently producing 12 GMC electric Hummers per day, which is not worth mentioning compared with the output of companies such as Tesla, but it is already a long-standing automaker. progress.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, GM sources said the company’s Detroit plant was previously refurbished by GM for about $2.2 billion.Only 12 GMC Hummer EVs are currently being built a day. Meanwhile, pre-orders for the electric Hummer have climbed to more than 77,000, meaning customers may have to wait a long time.

IT House has learned that a GM spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that while production of the Hummer electric vehicle has not ramped up as expected, deliveries of hundreds of vehicles are expected to grow to thousands later this year. The spokesman stated that,Slow production is due to GM’s commitment to quality assurance of their new EV platform.

While GM says there’s a lot of interest in the Hummer EV, the truth is that the company is currently overtaken by other manufacturers in the EV space. For example, Ford has been able to produce 150 F-150 Lightnings per day at its Dearborn plant, and even Rivian produced more than 2,500 electric trucks in the first quarter of this year.

Granted, the Hummer EV is a bigger car than the F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T. However, GM’s more competitively priced Silverado electric vehicle is still nearly a year out of production.

Still, Wall Street analysts believe GM and Ford will soon overtake Tesla in electric vehicle sales over the next few years. GM will have to significantly increase production in order to achieve this milestone in the United States.
