New Hummer Electric Car

Written By Unknown on Saturday 14 December 2013 | 07:33


Hummer Launches an electric car with a smaller size than the gasoline car.
Revolution is aimed at the development of automotive technology to be more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Hummer is the first American car manufacturer to produce Truck and Suv. But along with models and hummer consumer interest in the category of luxury cars.

Electric cars are certainly beginning to take flight lately, with Tesla becoming the unlikely leader of the whole revolution. Okay, maybe it’s not quite a revolution yet, but it’s at least starting to gain a little more traction. It has gained enough traction to garner the attention of UK coach builder, Prindiville.
Prindiville, being the creative company that it is, couldn’t just make any run-of-the-mill EV. Nope, its engineers and designers came up with a near mock up of the latest Hummer H3 – you know, one of the many defunct GM brands – only miniaturize and electric driven. What a concept!
Prindiville has now begun production and released a slew of specifications, so we felt it was time to give it the appropriate TopSpeed once over via a full review. So is this new custom EV in a shrunk-down Hummer body a good buy for the average driver?





EXTERIOR




If you had nothing around Prindiville’s Hummer H3 to make a relative size comparison, this EV version of the hummer is nearly identical to the full-size model when looking at its front end. It boasts the trademark Hummer grille and the wide, flat hood with the raised center section. Even the wheel arches on the front and rear fenders are pretty close to the H3.
When you get to the side of the Prindiville Hummer, it is obvious that you are working with a mockup. First, it is a 2-door model, as opposed to the 4-door design of the real Hummer H3. Also, instead of having a boxed-in rear end, it boasts a sloped rear end and a triangular rear window.
The ultimate goal, however, is met, as Prindiville wanted to make a vehicle inspired by the Hummer, not an exact copy.
The Hummer H3 by Prindiville measures in at 3.0 meters (118.1 inches) long x 1.4 meters (55 inches) wide x 1.4 meters (55 inches) tall and has a 2.1-meter (81.7-inch) wheel base. This makes is 69.4 inches shorter, 19.6 inches thinner, and 18.2 inches shorter than the 2010 Hummer H3.
On the outside, it boasts 15-inch Hummer alloy wheels, a front and rear trunk, shark fin antenna, and LED lighting. You only have two color choices with this EV Hummer: metallic black with silver or flat white. To supplement this lack of standard colors, Prindiville does offer a wide range of optional colors for a fee.
The outside is really cool looking, but a little bit out of proportion.

INTERIOR

The inside of the Prindiville Hummer H3 is nothing like the vehicle that inspired it. It boasts a pair of adjustable heated sports seats, two cup holders, Hummer floor mats, a Pioneer CD player, and a digital dashboard that shows distance, speed, battery voltage, time, temperature, and amps. In addition, the speedometer can switch between km/h to mph.
Overall, the interior is pretty much “blah.” There’s no real substance to it and it looks as if they threw a basic car interior into the inside of a golf cart and called it a day. Eh, at least it has a radio.

MOTOR AND DRIVETRAIN



The motor is a AC brushless system with nine 8-volt batteries, creating the 72 volts needed to power this Hummer. The motor goes through a direct-drive system – no gears – and straight to the rear wheels. This system allows the Hummer to hit a top speed of just 40 mph, making it a true “city car.” Its range is also pretty small, as it can only travel 40 miles on a single charge.
When you charge the batteries off of peak hours, you will see a mileage equivalent of 600 mpg from this electrified Hummer. You can charge the batteries via a standard 13-amp indoor or outdoor plug, but Prindiville recommends having an electrician install a 16-amp outlet.
