Endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Last month, Kreisel Electric and Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled the world’s first electric Hummer. Just like you, we wanted to see it on the move and after a month-long wait, we got just that.
Kreisel Electric says they’ve developed the electric Hummer H1 in just two months. The newfound off-roader draws its juice from a 100-kWh battery pack that powers two electric motors – one on each axle.
The overall power output is rated at 360 kW (490 PS aka European horsepower), enough to propel the brick-shaped EV weighing 3,300 kg (7,275 lb.) to a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). Maximum range is estimated at 300 km (roughly 187 miles).
One piece of bad news, though: Kreisel says it won’t mass-produce the electric Hummer H1. What a bummer.
Oh, and one request, please: we’d love to see it taking on a rougher landscape, maybe in a head-to-head run against the Bollinger B1 electric off-roader.
