This Weird Scottish Hummer EV Is Coming To America

Over in Scotland, this truck is primarily marketed to buyers as atough and no-nonsense EV SUVthat'll haul both your gear and your crew across any terrain you might encounter. Munro Vehicles says that this vehicle ought to have special appeal to farmers as a result, who have long relied on the Defender to do much the same thing. However, in America, the intent will be a bit different. "One particular customer market we have/are targeting in the States is the huge electric utility sector where companies need to show their customers that they are taking the provision of EVs seriously in their own fleets," Hansen said.

However, the company is still in its infancy and looking to enter one of America's hottest segments, especially at this price point. An MSRP of $87,843 is a whole lot of money, especially for what Munro markets as a stripped-out, off-roader. Still, Munro stands a chance, as everyone heads for an electric future. Who's to say if Munro Vehicles has a chance versus Rivian, Tesla, or Ford to claim a tiny bit of market share in the EV off-roader game? For now, we'll have to see what kind of interest the company can command stateside once its units start getting over here. Munro has planned to release 50 vehicles this year, with 25 as LHD models.
