Which GMC Vehicles Have an EV Option
With GM’s promise to phase out gas-powered vehicles and offer an all-electric lineup within the next 15 years, we’ll continue to see more electric-powered GMC vehicles arriving at GMC dealers.
Right now, there are a few electric trucks and SUVs in the GMC fleet, but there are more coming, and it may be sooner than you think.
The Capable GMC Hummer EV Truck
The GMC Hummer EV truck was the first all-electric GMC to make an appearance at GMC dealers. It offers a unique blend of rugged capabilities and environmental consciousness. The impressive electric powertrain produces 1000 horsepower and sprints from zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds. This electric truck can use brute force to make its way over almost any terrain, while the rear-wheel steering system makes it easy to maneuver whether you’re on the trail or in the city. It even features a unique crab driving mode that will move it sideways.
Go Big in the GMC Hummer EV SUV
The GMC Hummer EV SUV arrived on the tail of the Hummer EV truck. While it shares many of the truck’s features and offers similar performance, it’s also more family-friendly, with more space in the cabin for passengers. The all-electric powertrain churns out 830 horsepower and gets up to 11,500 pound-feet of torque. This version of the Hummer will zip from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Drivers who are wondering about range for this large EV have nothing to worry about. It can go up to 300 miles on a full charge.
The GMC Sierra EV is Coming
Everyone loves the GMC Sierra pickup truck, and when the new Sierra EV arrives at GMC dealers in the near future, they will not only love its features and capabilities but also its efficiency and power. The official name for this new pickup is the GMC Sierra Denali Edition 1. And, with Denali part of its name, this truck is sure to deliver when it comes to upscale features and luxury.
Like the Hummer EVs and the Silverado EV, the Sierra will ride on the Ultium platform with a large battery pack that will help it get up to 400 miles of range. It will have all the latest technology, including GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, and it will feature GMC’s innovative MultiPro Midgate. This gate serves as a divider between the cabin and the bed that can be lowered when you have long items to move but want to keep the tailgate up.
What’s on the Horizon
While the GMC EV lineup currently features the two GMC Hummer models and the upcoming Sierra Denali EV, there is much more on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for a GMC Yukon EV. This full-size luxury SUV will sit at the top of GMC’s SUV lineup, and since it will be built right in the U.S., it could be an affordable option for SUV buyers who want to make the switch to an electric vehicle.
