100 MPG Hummer - Almost

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up for the "100 MPG" Raser Electric Hummer H3 unveiling at the 2009 SAE World Congress in Detroit. Jalopnik has an article and photographs.

The new Hummer gets 100 mph only if you don't drive over 60 miles in a day. Over that you can expect about 33 mpg since the drivetrain is a 200 kW motor to drive the wheels and a turbocharged Ecotec four-cylinder to power a 100 kW generator to charge the batteries and run the e-motor.
