# Downsized Gas Guzzlers The MEV Hummer HX is the Green Successor to GM's Iconic SUV By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mev-hummer-hx References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/gms-hummer-now.php) & [myelectricvehicle.org](http://www.myelectricvehicle.org/vehicles/mini-hummer-hx/) The MEV Hummer HX is either a win or a lose depending on which side of the Hummer debate you stand on. If you think Hummer's are God's gift to man and love getting nine miles per-gallon, then you will probably hate the [all-electric MEV Hummer HX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eq-technology-suv). However, if you love electric cars then you will be overjoyed at the sight of this shrunken-down Hummer. Whereas the discontinued GM Hummer used to be mistaken for an APC on a regular basis, this new Hummer from MEV (My Electric Vehicle) has more in common with a [golf cart or buggy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-ex). The vehicle has a few different configurations, offering drivers a hardtop, topless and "limo" option. The miniature electric Hummer is classified as a "resort vehicle," but it seems to have all the necessities needed to be street legal such as [mirrors and turn signals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-offroad-vehicle). Check out the new MEV Hummer HX in the video above and decide for yourself whether or not you would drop $16,000 on what truly is a one-of-a-kind ride. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Vehicle Conversions:** Opportunity for businesses to convert gas guzzlers into electric vehicles. - **Micro-mobility:** Emerging trend of compact electric vehicles for urban commuting. - **Resort Vehicles:** Growing market for street-legal electric vehicles designed for recreational purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruption potential to the automotive industry by offering green alternatives to gas-guzzling SUVs. - **Transportation:** Opportunity for transportation companies to diversify their offerings with micro-mobility solutions. - **Tourism & Hospitality:** Chance for resorts and recreational establishments to provide eco-friendly transportation options to guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Truck-Inspired Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hummer-ev-1.md) - [All-Electric Camping SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hummer-ev-earthcruiser-camper.md) - [Yellow Camouflage Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-Mini-Countryman-SUV.md) - [Customized Electric SUV Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3x-line.md) - [Retro Electric Buggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meyers-manx-ev.md) - [All-Electric Dune Buggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manx-20-electric.md) - [Miniscule Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-suv.md) - [Sleek Solar-Powered SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-one-suv.md) - [Open-Air Low-Speed Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-moke.md)
