Arnold Schwarzenegger knows a thing or two about what it means to be indestructible, which is exactly why the former Hollywood action star has collaborated with Kreisel Electric to unveil a brand new electric SUV, the [Hummer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hummer-ev-earthcruiser-camper) H1.

This electrified version of the venerable [military vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessey-jeep-gladiator-warhawk) is set to come equipped with 100 kWh batteries that work in conjunction with two electric motors in order to churn out 483 horsepower. With a top speed of 120 km/h and a top range of 300 km, this 3,300 kg beast is designed for intimidation and performance.

Despite the popularity of the original Hummer vehicles, they tended to be massive gas-guzzlers, which is why the introduction of an electric SUV version is an important innovation that proves that even beastly military trucks can be eco-friendly.
