GM’s Investor Day presentation o November 17th revealed some interesting information about the demand for the company’s upcoming fully electric portfolio of crossovers and pickup trucks. According to GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra, the GMC Sierra EV now has roughly 20,000 customers on the waitlist.
“GMC already has a waitlist of close to 20,000 customers, and that’s growing every day,” said Barra.
This comes as no surprise, as interest and excitement surrounding the Sierra EV has been quite strong, as per GM. In fact, reservations for the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 were completely filled in 15 minutes following the all-electric pickup truck’s debut on October 20th.
GMC Sierra EV AT4
The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is set to launch early in the 2024 calendar year, and only customers who managed to snag a reservation will receive one. The GMC Sierra EV Denali will be next in line, launching in the spring of the 2024 calendar year, followed by the GMC Sierra EV AT4 late in the 2024 calendar year and the GMC Sierra EV Elevation early in 2025.
The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is the range-topper of the lineup. Pricing will start around $107,000 for the Edition 1, while the lower trim levels will start around $50,000.
Under the skin, the 2024 GMC Sierra EV rides on the GM BT1 platform, which it shares with the Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer EV SUV, while GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors provide motivation.
The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 model produces a maximum of 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque in Max Power mode, which is enough to rocket the all-electric pickup from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4.5 seconds. Maximum range per charge is estimated at 400 miles.
Production of the 2024 GMC Sierra EV will initially take place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan, while future GMC Sierra EV models will also be produced at the GM Lake Orion plant in Michigan.

Styling is rugged and best looking ev truck I’ve seen yet. If the powers that be outlaw the ic engine , I’ll be game in the future for an ev Elevation below $60,000.
All of the GM EV orders may crash the power grid. 🤣
Like the 36 LYRIQs sold so far this year? Not sure anymore when I’ll get mine…..They keep pushing back the delivery date….
Am I correct that those 20,000 reservations are only for the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1? If that’s so, then that’s $2.1 billion in sales right there. 20,000 x $107,000 per truck.
none of that matters much if the percent of profit is not there. I assume it is at that price, but I wonder about the 50K versions.
The Tow Ratings Suck!
These are for cruising and getting groceries.
Lie most half ton trucks these days. I suspect it will get enough range to tow a boat or camping gear to the lake, with the occasional home depot run for projects. The real question will be how these big tanks do in the snow and ice and will they force this on the real towing trucks, the 3/4 on and up?
This is good news, it means that many fewer people I am competing with to buy liquid fuel!
400 miles in eco mode! Lights A/C blower motor and 2-3 cell phones charging? Towing a trailer with a load? Not just a trailer? Heater in winter. 150 miles I bet on a charge!
More power to whoever wants an EV at the current insane pricing.
The true test is how well these hold up and then resell/trade in 3 to 5+ years. That’s where the headaches and remorse will set in, IMO.
20,000 fools who have more money than the average American who want NOTHING to do with electric crap vehicles.
They like to advertise the ev towing a trailer. I currently tow an airstream with my 2017 1 ton diesel Denali, and the range on a tank is incredible. Switching to the ev, I would have to either find charging stations that are compatible with trailer attached, or start looking at camping within 50 to maybe 75 miles from home.
Charging while at the campsite…how many campgrounds are ready for vehicle charging, and how to pay for it.
I think I’ll let this particular rattlesnake bite someone a bit more adventurous than me.
To King Ralph; I had my Chevy over 5 years and never to pay for gas or oil changes or filters. When may EV pickup comes, you will you for gas and oil not me. JIm C.
