General Motors continues to receive more and more reservation orders for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV.
In its Q1 2022 earnings report, GM revealed that it has received more than 70,000 pre-orders for the GMC Hummer EV across both the Pickup and SUV model variants. This is a slight uptick from March, when the automaker said that it had racked up roughly 65,000 reservations for the battery-electric truck and SUV.
GM previously outlined plans to produce roughly 23,000 examples of the GMC Hummer EV Pickup this year – quite a bit more than the automaker had initially planned to build. This was in response to higher-than-expected demand for the vehicle, with the automaker receiving 59,000 pre-orders by early February of this year.
GM said previously that it expects the GMC Hummer EV SUV to outsell the Hummer EV Pickup, with the SUV expected to account for roughly 60 percent of Hummer EV sales and the pickup taking the remaining 40 percent. The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV will be built alongside the pickup at the GM Factory Zero plant in Detroit, however it won’t enter production until 2023. The Hummer EV Pickup entered production at the facility late last year.
Surprisingly, the Hummer EV is in high demand among consumers that wouldn’t typically buy a GMC vehicle. Roughly 75 percent of the people that have reserved a GMC Hummer EV are new to the GMC brand, the automaker recently revealed. Additionally, roughly 70 percent of these reservation holders say they are a first time EV buyer.
So far, the only GMC Hummer EV Pickup units that have been built are of the range-topping Edition 1, which was priced at $110,295 before it sold out. Less well-equipped versions of the Hummer EV Pickup will begin to hit the market once the production of the Edition 1 concludes, starting with the EV3X this fall, the EV2X in the spring of 2023 and the entry-level EV2 in early 2024.

70,000 units at an assigned average price of $90,000 = $6,300,000,000, that’s billion with B
Read ’em and weep all you EV haters! 😉
Read what? That 70k people put a small deposit down for this? Why would anyone weep over that?
Ken, then you apparently haven’t seen all the hysterical comments decrying GM, Mary Barra, and EVs on this site every time they post an article having anything remotely to do with EVs.
So again why would anyone weep over this?
It’s a small number of vehicles, but it’s over $6 billion in revenue. It would take about 200k Equinoxes to make the same amount of revenue.
And what exactly does that have to do with people weeping?
Where are they going to get parts.
I’m on a list for a Z06 and the wait time is 6 years.
Hey Huey4417
Have you figured out where you are going to get the electricity to charge you $100K battery powered vehicle. A few issues like the current power grid’s inability to deliver enough juice to charge all those new EV’s? How are you charging 2 or 3 at your house. And 1 more little issue Europe has national controled “charging time periods. With the ability of returning your battery energy to the government if they decide they need it. Happy trails and good luck
You’re clueless. Not only about the National Grid and it’s capabilities, but also about V2G technology which enables a vehicle to send power to the grid if it needs to. This isn’t about ‘national controlled charging time periods’. The US’ national power grid is more than capable of powering all electric vehicles connected at home to charge within the next 10-15yrs.
There’s a difference between energy DEMAND, Energy Consumption, Energy Capacity, and Energy Flow. kWh are different than Volts and Amps. V2G technology was invented for benefit of the consumer. Let’s say you live in Texas in February, and idk. The Grid goes down because your power company puts profits before their own customers and weather scenarios. You could plug in your fully charged Hummer EV to your breaker panel, and you’re good to hear your home for a few days, or keep your freezer and refrigerator running and the lights on.
Next time, keep your idiotic comments to yourself.
No offense Sonic Fan, but Texas’ week long power outage was due to “Woke Policies”. Trucks with auxiliary power *DID* save the day, Like the optional Ford F-150 power outlets on the hybrid models which ran the truck ICE to emergency power the neighborhoods. If they had been allowed to run their existing coal-fired plants full power during the ’emergency’ there would have ended up being no emergency at all… They had 110% of the generation required even though there were no solar panels nor windmills operational.
But the EPA said no, and the Governor buckled under to them.
But you are correct about one thing: I do charge 3 plug-in evs every day with little added expense.
Reservations mean d!ck. Lets see 70k sold units, if they can even produce 70k units.
Somewhere I heard that historically, 90% of reservationists eventually choose something else… If that is the case here then that means 7000 firm future sales. So that’s a start…
I assume many potential buyers want to see how good the vehicle is IN PERSON, and what else is available from other manufactures, which is perfectly fine.
How bout make them
I don’t believe it! No way to verify.
Mary Barra said there were only 13 ‘Confirmed’ deaths from GM’s Special Ignitions…
By ‘Confirmed’ she meant she counted on her toes, all 13, and once there were no more toes, she couldn’t confirm any more deaths…
Too bad she didn’t have about 125 toes.
M.B.F.C.
It’s not 2014. In 2014 the Takata airbag scandal hadn’t broken yet. A lot of what got blamed on the switch was probably the fault of the airbags.
70,000 x 9,000 lbs. = More GM caused deaths.
The 1% aren’t suffering too terribly in the Biden “economy”
GM will prove all doubters wrong. Just watch.
gm already went bankrupt once so please sit down and be quiet fanboy.
The more ignorant comments the more my point is proven. Keep “em coming fools! 😂
The only fool is the person using emojis.
Love our second Tesla and thanks to a friend/college roommate who is now a large Chevrolet dealer, I have a Z06 Corvette on order and 3rd on his list. It will be our first gm vehicle since our 2006 GMC. Hope the wait is not too long.
We will look at gm EVs when we replace our 2022 Tesla if gm can produce a quality competitive EV. We will be happy that there will be so many choices from many manufacturers. EV Cars, SUVs, trucks, galore.😁
Try not to spray your shorts already, Richie. We know. The world is your oyster.
Idiot boy. I am pleased to have a wonderful family and life. Hope someday you can get there. Jealousy is a destroyer of character.☹️
I am not jealous. And you know nothing of my family life and character. Your gloating is simply tone deaf, that’s all.
You began with insult…I wished you well. Sorry you did not like my relating our return to gm products or our good experience with EVs. That was not gloating. Best wishes.
I didn’t insult you, merely colorfully pointed out your lack of tact. And yours was a somewhat backhanded way to wish anyone well. Glad that you’re buying gm at any rate but what’s wrong with the entire picture is that the door to new car ownership has been slammed shut on many of gm’s traditional home market buyers and that isn’t right and it runs counter to GM’s model for success: A Car for Every Purse and Purpose. Obviously, this doesn’t effect you.
Best wishes to you, too
