GM replies regarding why GMC Hummer EV emissions are so high, says it is a because it is a “performance-oriented EV”.

The study says Hummer EV produces 341 grams of CO2 per mile while Chevrolet Malibu produces 320 grams per mile.
Packed with several cool features, the 1,000-hp EV can hit 60 mph in 3 seconds and 90 mph in under 9 seconds.

A recent study published by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) said that the GMC Hummer EV produces more emissions than a Chevrolet Malibu ICE sedan.
According to the study, the GMC Hummer EV produces 341 grams of CO2 per mile, which is more than the 320 grams that a petrol-powered Chevrolet Malibu sedan produces per mile.
Responding to the study’s findings, GM, in a statement sent to GM Authority, said that the reason for the electric Hummer’s inefficiency is due to the fact that it is a “performance-oriented EV”.
“The study ignores the real-world importance and benefit of bringing to market performance- oriented EVs like the GMC Hummer EV.
“Seventy five percent of the tens of thousands of customers who’ve reserved a Hummer EV have never owned an EV – many are or were pickup owners.
“The GMC Hummer EV (and other performance-oriented EVs) are accomplishing more in bringing EV skeptics into the EV fold than any of these half-glass-empty criticisms ever will.”
