Do you think the GMC Hummer EV is really that much bigger than a Rivian R1T?
New photographs shed light on the significant disparity.

Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV are the market's first all-electric pickup trucks, and both will be available in SUV configurations - the Rivian R1S and GMC Hummer EV SUV, respectively (a few R1S were already delivered).
We can see how the Rivian R1T and Hummer compare side by side thanks to rivianforums.com.
While the two new photographs are not ideal for size comparison, they are enough. The GMC Hummer EV is unquestionably a lot larger, more muscular vehicle, but perhaps not as large as some might believe.

The size difference will undoubtedly be reflected in the energy consumption, which is why GM is likely to equip the electric Hummers with a 200 kWh battery pack (we do not yet have an official figure).
Rivian starts at 135 kWh and a 180 kWh battery version is planned for 2023, but will be delayed by a year.
The Ford F-150 Lightning, which is scheduled to arrive in Spring 2022, will fall somewhere in between the two. This is a full-size pickup truck.
The Tesla Cybertruck, which is expected to arrive in approximately a year, should also be extremely large, as demonstrated in a December video:

The upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV and its GMC counterpart also will be full-size electric pickups.
