It solves the biggest problem everyone had with the Hummer: gallons-per-mile.

And it competes with the Cybertruck, and they don’t have to worry about a limited amount of space for the batteries. Seems like a good strategy to me, for a first attempt.

But my impression was that the only reason to have a hummer was the whole "I'm whatever enough to be above social responsibility" appeal. So if they make it socially responsible then that takes away their entire market. I've never been in the market for a hummer so maybe I'm missing something.

That said, an electric hummer could be a perfect fit for the hummer stretch limo market. Though idk if that market is big enough to warrant its own whole thing.

Are we talking about the mil-spec hummer which was admired by people who spent a lot of time off road, or the H2 which was just another truck (not useless off road, but no better than any other truck) which never actually went off road.
H2 is mainly what I was thinking.
