- GMC now has two electric trucks in production
- The 2024 GMC Sierra EV will be a low-volume model for at least a year
- The limited-edition launch version of the Sierra EV costs $99,495
The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is now being delivered to customers, General Motors announced Wednesday. But it will be some time before other versions of the electric pickup reach dealerships.
The limited-edition launch version of the Sierra EV arrives with a starting price of $99,495 with a $1,995 destination fee—a fee thousand less than the around-$107,000 that was suggested when the Sierra EV was first previewed by Green Car Reports in 2022. The launch model’s 440-mile EPA range is also about 10% more than originally suggested.
Bearing GMC’s top-luxury Denali badge, the Edition 1 features adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and the CrabWalk feature from the GMC Hummer EV. The latter distinguishes the GMC from the top-trim 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST. Like their internal-combustion counterparts, the Sierra EV and Silverado EV are essentially twins, with the main differences coming down to styling and some feature content.

Edition 1 models have a dual-motor powertrain producing up to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque, enabling 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.5 seconds and a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs that’s slightly higher than the 9,500 lbs originally suggested. A midgate pass-through—pioneered by GM in the 2000s—allows the truck to swallow items up to 11 feet long. A front trunk is included as well.
With a dual-layer battery pack expected to be the same 205 kwh as top trims of the Hummer EV, the Sierra EV can take full advantage of 350-kw, 800-volt charging connectors, according to GMC, allowing up to 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. Bidirectional charging at up to 10.2 kw allows the Sierra EV to serve as a mobile power source.
The truck rides on massive 24-inch wheels and features a generously-sized 16.8-inch infotainment touchscreen. The Super Cruise highway driving-assistance system, which can be used while towing a trailer, is also available. GM expects 750,000 of compatible U.S. and Canadian roads to be available by the end of 2025.

The Sierra EV was announced in 2021 and at that time was confirmed for a 2023 market arrival. GMC has suggested all along that it might not be “high-volume entry” electric truck that GM CEO Mary Barra stressed in describing the Silverado EV, so work-truck variants like those offered for the Chevy likely aren’t planned. GMC has said that an AT4 off-road model is on the way, as well as an entry-level Elevation model priced around $50,000.
These other versions likely won’t arrive right away, though. Large-scale production of the Sierra EV and Silverado EV at GM’s Orion Assembly plant in Michigan has been postponed until mid-2026—the latest in multiple delays of the production ramp-up of these trucks and other GM Ultium EVs.
