General Motors has postponed the planned May 20 reveal of its electric GMC HUMMER EV pickup due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The battery-powered truck was announced with a Super Bowl commercial starring LeBron James and is set to be offered in several versions, including one with 1,000 horsepower that can accelerate to 60 mph in under three seconds, which would rival the claimed performance of the Tesla Cybertruck.
