Earlier this year, former California governor and Austrian actor Arnold Schwarzenegger enlisted the help of Kreisel Electric to build him an electrified Mercedes G Wagon. Schwarzenegger is known for his exquisite taste in cars, and seems to have a penchant for off-roaders having owned a heavily modified Jeep Wagoneer and a Hummer H1 as well as the aforementioned G Wagon. Now, the Hollywood star has once again teamed up with Kreisel Electric to reveal the Austrian company's latest project: the world's first all-electric Hummer H1.

Presented at Kreisel Electric's new research and development center in Austria for its grand opening, the soft-top electric Hummer H1 is just a prototype for now and was developed in only two months. It' powered by a 100 kWh battery which powers an electric motor at the front and rear, producing a combined output of 483 hp, a range of around 186 miles and a top speed of 74 mph. Unsurprisingly, converting the H1 into an EV has made it even heavier, weighing in at a hefty 3,300 kg. Schwarzenegger has apparently always dreamed of turning his Hummer into a fully electric off-roader. "Kreisel Electric electrified my G-Class last winter. And now a Hummer," he said.

"If Kreisel keeps it up at this pace, I will soon be able to fly here from LA in an electric airplane." With our electrified prototypes, we want to show what is possible using Kreisel technology," Kreisel co-founder Markus Kreisel added. "We will certainly not mass-produce these models. But our Hummer is a powerhouse in wolf's clothing, one that drives so quietly even the sheep are not disturbed." If you need further proof of Kreisel Electric's capabilities, the company also converted a Porsche 910 replica into an electric supercar producing 483 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. It's anyone's guess what Kreisel Electric will cook up next, but we look forward to finding out.
