2022 GMC Hummer EV Will Be Built at Detroit Plant Converted to 'Factory Zero'

From Car and Driver

• GM used to build the Chevy Volt there, but just as the automaker made the transition to the Bolt EV, gasoline engines will be a thing of the past in Hamtramck, which will only build electric vehicles moving forward.

• The GMC Hummer EV will be the first all-electric vehicle built at the newly named Factory Zero, but the Cruise Origin and other electric vehicles will follow.

• Factory Zero has the features you might expect from a green-minded plant, like more than 500 kW of solar power generation and a 16-acre wildlife habitat.

The former home of the Chevrolet Volt is ditching any remnant of its gasoline-engine past in favor of an all-electric future. Just as the Volt gave way to the all-electric Bolt EV in Chevy's lineup, General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center will be going all electric as it is changing its name to, drumroll please, Factory Zero.

GM will build the GMC Hummer EV pickup as well as the bespoke Cruise Origin, an electric, self-driving vehicle that will be used by Cruise in its autonomous, shared ride hailing program at Factory Zero. GM said it will build other, not-yet-revealed EVs there in the future.
