Disclosure: I work for GM; what follows is SOLELY MY OWN OPINION.

I would be surprised if there are ever more than 50,000 Hummer SUV and Trucks made in a single year. For comparison, a decent year for the Malibu would be 300,000.

My perception of the Hummer EV is that it is meant to be a halo vehicle that gets people excited and in showrooms. You don't have to love it, but someone will.

Also, as other commentors have pointed out - these will largely be purchased by people who have other large SUVs. And you can't roll coal in an EV! I don't really like how ridiculously big these things have gotten either (solely my own opinion). I'd rather have a truck the size of the old Chevy S-10 or old Ford Ranger or current Ford Maverick.
