The GMC HUMMER EV was a Moon shot
GMC HUMMER EV Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser joins Gary Gastelu in The Fox Garage to discuss the new all-electric pickup and SUV.
The tech world is flocking to CES this week -- some of it virtually due to the COVID surge -- and that includes several automakers showcasing their latest electric vehicles and new mobility solutions.
Here's what to expect from three major brands and a new American startup:
CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV

General Motors CEO Mary Barra is making a remote keynote address on Wed., Jan 5, where she will unveil the upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup in full for the first time. The full size truck will be built on the same Ultium platform as the GMC Hummer EV and feature a maximum range of 400 miles per charge, a panoramic glass roof and a four-wheel steering system that improves its maneuverability.
CHRYSLER AIRFLOW

The electrification of the Chrysler brand will be previewed with the Airflow Concept, which was teased during Stellantis' recent software day event. The automaker has previously said the all-electric SUV is "closer than you think and more than a pure concept."
HYUNDAI MOBILE ECCENTRIC DROID

Hyundai has been getting into alternative forms of transportation in recent years through the design of giant walking vehicles and purchase of the Boston Dynamics, maker of those creepy robot dogs, but its latest creation is a cute little four-wheeled helper. The Mobile Eccentric Droid, or MobED, is designed as a self-propelled multi-use platform that can climb stairs while transporting just about anything from boxes to a bassinet.
