2022 GMC Hummer EV

We correctly surmised that GMC branding on the pickup will be de-emphasized. As you can see, the vehicle wears a large "HUMMER" lettering in the grille and a much smaller GMC badge down by a tow hook. Note also the size grille slots, and furthermore, we have deduced from other reporting that the GMC is to be full-sized like a sierra, not a midsized like the GMC Canyon. 

GM has announced that the new Hummer EV will have a whopping 1,000 horsepower and 11,500-lb-ft torque ratings. A number as high as that lb-ft figure is bound to represent torque applied at all four tires. Since the industry doesn't typically quote torque figures that have been multiplied through any transmission and axle gearing (i.e., for engines, we quote torque from the engine, before it is multiplied by, say, a torque converter), we figure that GMC's Hummer will fit four electric motor, one per wheel, with each rated for 250 horsepower. As for each motor's torque, that figure depends on how it's delivered to each wheel. If the motors were direct-drive in-wheel hub units, that'd mean each one would produce 2,875 lb-ft; if each motor were instead mounted inboard and spun a half-shaft axle through the same 9.73:1 reduction ratio Tesla uses in the dual-motor Model S (as an example), the torque rating would be a much more "normal" sounding 295 lb-ft per motor.
