Elements of Raser’s current series plug-in hybrid (extendedrange electric vehicle) drive system. In 2009, FEV showcased a range-extended electric vehicle (ReEV) HUMMER H3 done in cooperation with Raser at the World Congress. In the HUMMER H3, the generator is driven by a GM Ecotec 2.0L Earlier post.).
The extendedrange electric vehicle drive system by Raser Technologies and its development partner FEV is targeted at providing up to 40 miles all-electric range for SUVs and light trucks. At the 2009 SAE World Congress, Raser and FEV showcased a HUMMER H3 converted with the EREV powertrain. Click to enlarge.
A recent preliminary road test of the Raser Hummer H3E, an H3 converted with a range-extended electric powertrain ( earlier post ), demonstrated more than 50 miles of all-electric range. Battery range of this innovative vehicle was more than sufficient to exceed our performance target of 40 miles in all-electric mode.
GM Defense, a subsidiary of General Motors, was selected by the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop a battery pack prototype for testing and analysis on Department of Defense platforms. GM’s HUMMER EV Ultium battery pack.
The ReEV propulsion system employs a 1.0L, 3-cylinder, 4-valve engine that is mated to a UQM PowerPhase 75 generator that provides 41 kW of continuous power in extended-range mode, with a peak power of 75 kW. A UQM PowerPhase 125 traction motor powers the wheels. seconds, and has a top speed of 84 mph (156 km/h). Earlier post.).

An American green technology company has developed a hybrid Hummer capable of over 100mpg. Raser Technologies, the company behind the hybrid hummer, claims to have achieved the impossible by greening up one of the cars with the worse environmental record. The Hummer H3E is a plug-in electric vehicle with an onboard rangeextender.
Once a symbol of gas guzzling Americana, perceptions of the Hummer may soon change for the good after a preliminary road test of the Raser Hummer H3E achieved more than 50 miles of all-electric range. Tags: Electric cars Green cars Latest news electric Hummer Raser Hummer H3E Raser Technologies.
General Motors presented an updated Viability Plan that accelerates and deepens the cuts in US brands and nameplates, dealers, manufacturing operations and employees intended to enable GM North America to breakeven (on an adjusted EBIT basis) at a US total industry sales volume of approximately 10 million vehicles. billion from 2010 to 2014.
The Ford F-150 Lightning with ExtendedRange Battery will be one quick truck, with the veteran automaker recently announcing that the vehicle’s 0-60 mph time has been updated to less than 4 seconds. The F-150 Lightning’s Standard Range Battery also saw an increase from 426 hp to 452 hp. . Lightning fast!
It sounds like quite the balancing act from a technology and engineering perspective, and thats why Green Car Reports checked in with Scout Motors chief technology officer Burkhard Huhnke last month at CES. But Scout also didnt want to be seen in the same company as models like the GMC Hummer EV, Huhnke let on.
According to Kelly Blue Book, the following popular vehicles can easily pull a trailer: Published towing capabilities are: GMC Hummer EV : 7,500 pounds. Some vehicles have extended-range options that carry higher weights than the standard model for a higher price. Rivian R1T : 11,000 pounds. Ford F-150 Lightning : 10,000 pounds.
The Ford F-150 Lightning XLT High/Extended now starts at a price of $80,974, a full $8,500 more than its previous price.

The world’s first-to-market electric pickup truck, it turns out, isn’t from Ford, General Motors, or a late-to-market Tesla Cybertruck. That capability begins with four individual electric motors, as I experienced on a stirring R1T test in and around New York. I’m looking forward to my first hardcore off-road runs in the Rivian.
And in the last two weeks, one of the largest utility companies in the United States, Pacific Gas & Electric, announced plans to work with General Motors in experiments with their bidirectional charging technologies.

New for 2025, the Sierra EV Denali has a whopping 460-mile range, up from 440 miles in the 2024 model.
Instant torque delivery from the Sierra EV’s dual-motor system meant we didn’t lose momentum up the hills, while the air suspension kept us feeling even-keeled. miles per kwh according to the Sierra EV’s trip computer—suggesting we might still see 390 miles of range or more in this type of driving. seconds (or better, it seems).
