Chances of the Tesla Cybertruck (officially) making it to the local market are currently slim, but if it’s a full-size, fully-electric truck that you want, the Hummer EV Pickup could soon be an option for you.
Car brands must submit to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) the specs of any model they want to bring into the market, and in late July, the agency published the homologation papers for the electric Hummer truck. The information shows a maximum power of 746kW, making this the three-motor setup with 1,000hp.
There’s no mention of peak torque, but in case you’ve forgotten, this pickup made headlines during its launch for claiming to have 15,547Nm. That really depends on how you measure for torque, though—the actual figure is 1,625Nm.

The Hummer EV Pickup is also known for trick features like CrabWalk, which basically allows it to drive diagonally at low speeds, and Extract Mode, which raises the adaptive air suspension by a maximum of 152.4mm. You can check out the LTO document here.
At launch, Edition 1 of the Hummer EV Pickup started at $112,595 (around P5.47 million based on exchange rates at the time). The first production unit, however, fetched $2.5 million at an auction. How much do you think it could go for in the local market?
