Here’s When 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Production Will Start

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup got its big debut in October of 2020, first rolling off the line in Michigan for the 2022 model year. Fast forward to the present, and the latest 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is set to introduce a handful of important updates and changes over the preceding 2023 model year. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup will begin.

According to GM Authority sources, production of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup will kick off on June 23rd, 2023. Production will once again take place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Detroit, Michigan. Meanwhile, production of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is already under way.

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup will introduce several important changes, including the launch of two entry-level trim levels, specifically the 2 and 2X. They will join the range-topping 3X to round out the all-electric Hummer Pickup lineup for the 2024 model year.

The GMC Hummer EV 2 and 2X will both run a two-motor powertrain, as compared to the three-motor setup equipped with the 3X trim level. Output for the 2 and 2X is estimated to be roughly 625 horsepower, as was initially announced during the debut of the Hummer EV in 2020. Meanwhile, the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup 3X will be rated at 830 horsepower, or 1,000 horsepower with the optional 24-module battery pack on board. All trim levels are equipped as standard with GM Ultium battery tech and GM Ultium Drive motor tech. The GM BT1 platform provides the underpinnings.

Another important update for the 2024 model year is the introduction of the new Omega Edition, a limited-run variant that includes a unique matte paint finish, unique wheels, and a few other bits and pieces.

  1. Why introduce any new ‘editions’ when the manufacturing division can’t produce the product that customers ordered 3 to 4 years ago. The launch of this truck is the financial disaster of the century because of all the money that is being left on the table and the customers that can’t get their vehicles. The Lyric launch is the second biggest launch disaster of the century for the same reasons listed above. Lets just say it, GM is unable to produce these new electric vehicles. I imagine the launch of the Silverado will have the same results. Oh, and name of the Detroit production facility, Factory Zero, was not supposed indicate the amount of product they can apparently produce.

    1. Haha Mike.

      Yes (almost) Zero Production and Zero Paint choices since not only did they forget how to run a production line, you cannot get GM Ultium Electrics in any kind of Color anymore, at least if my LYRIQ experience is any example.

      Apparently GM upper management is more interested in Splashy Press Releases rather than the humdrum workaday world of consistently producing vehicles on an assembly line and purchasing battery pouches and wiring harnesses from suppliers on a timely basis.

      One example will show the somewhat schitzophrenic nature of their releases:

      My GMC/Cadillac Dealership had a new WHITE HUMMER with $120,000 final sticker price in the showroom last month as I picked up my LYRIQ ordered 11 months earlier.. It had a 48 ampere (so called 11 kw) Level 2 capability charging module. Meanwhile, the only Module AVAILABLE for my 2WD 2023 LYRIQ was the 80 ampere (so called 19 kw) unit…. One commenter posited that the 80 amp unit is unavailable for the HUMMER since they WERE ALL GOING INTO LYRIQs (!!!!!!).

      If there is one vehicle option that most very upscale (over $100,000) buyers will chose for the HUMMER, it would be an 80 amp facility on the Truck since they will have no qualms about hiring an electrician to fully update their garage wiring. But it was unavailable… Meanwhile, the LYRIQ with half the size of the battery could get along with a standard 32 amp unit as used in the 2017-2019 Bolts, and some 2019 VOLTS. Since GM has now de Facto ‘standardized’ on the 48 ampere size (likely since this size was chosen for FORD models), and some, not all Tesla models – plain jane Model 3s that are being used by Rental companies have the 32 ampere facility only).

      GM wisely is, with the 2024 model year LYRIQ, offering a 48 ampere (11 kw) unit (the smallest charger used in the lowliest current BOLT for example), for ALL LYRIQs. The 80 ampere model is now a $2,000 option on the more upscale trims, and is also now available on the 2024 HUMMER models.

      My point is – instead of changing all this stuff around and making silly limitations, such as the very popular choice All-Wheel-Drive Lyriq for 2023 can only be obtained with a 48 ampere charger, since the 80 ampere thing I have but cannot fully utilize takes up too much room in the hood area If you order AWD. I’m not certain they even attempted to make ANY 2023 AWD models other than experimental test models,

      In this slight little detail – they should have just used the plain jane 32 amp models for ALL LYRIQS (since that is all QMERIT will install anyway with their $1,500 gratis program), and worry more about obtaining BLUE PAINT since they have been out of it for the Lyriq for the past 11 months…. Which is why mine is Black.

      Instead – when customers call the various GM Help Lines they basically get a hand-holding “We Feel Your Pain” to customers who have preordered both LYRIQs and HUMMERs a year or more earlier but get ZERO information (another Factory Zero INNOVATION ! ) on to when they can expect their respective vehicles in the future ! It would be humorous if there wasn’t so much money at stake.

      1. At least at the Lyriq plant in Tennessee they can blame EV production shortfalls on the ICE cars running down the same line. “Oops we had a major breakdown or parts shortage on the ICE XT5, so, no EVs produced today because we only planned to run 20 today.” I wonder what the managers at Pole town are saying to excuse the lack of timely execution on launch of a “halo” vehicle.

  2. I reserved a Hummer 17 months ago in January 2022. Beyond the confirmation of my reservation, I have not received a communication from GMC. I’m wondering why when GMC is promoting the Hummer that they are not updating customers who have completed the reservation process?

  3. GM’s silence on Ultium production is deafening. Anyone thinking there will be a Blazer EV or Equinox EV in any volume this year, is delusional.

    Ultium was a bet-the-company decision and so far, it’s been a disaster for GM.

    1. There has been a steady stream of Lyriq deliveries on message boards and social media. The Hummer not so much. It seems they are figuring things out with the crossovers.

  4. How did they bet the company? Ultium cells are just large format poach cells like VW, Ford, etc. used Yes, they are larger than the other two, but not out of this world. The big thing with Ultium was using a common cell/module across several different classes of vehicles. Something no one else is doing. Imagine how efficient the drivetrain manufacturing is when you’re only building 5 drivetrains and sticking 3 different motors in them depending on need. That’s huge savings in manufacturing. The Hummer front motor and Brightdrop rear motor are the same. I assume it’s also the same rear motor used in the Lyriq and Blazer.

    1. Yeah, this was a new concept in 1908 when Henry Ford introduced standardization with his Model T’s.

      1. The difference is Ford couldn’t go from 160hp to 1000hp with those combinations in vehicles from cars to delivery vehicles.

    2. ‘How did they bet the company? Ultium cells are just large format poach cells like VW, Ford, etc. used’ The key word here is USED for a reason. And yes they pretty much did bet the house on this with 3 expensive Ultium factories under construction and inability to deliver but a small fraction of what they promised. Being an early mover during disruption matters and GM is not relevant in the BEV space right now. Which is disappointing, given the ‘head start’ they appeared to have over legacy OEMs. How long has the HUMMER EV been in production and they STILL can’t scale it, yet want to set up more BEV dealerships in Mexico and make more derivatives of the HUMMER EV – I think the marketing manager at In-Bev/Budweuser could make better decisions. The Silverado EV is basically the same thing and that is slated to come on line soon – no chance. And now with Ford using Tesla Super Chargers in 2024 with an adapter and all 2nd gen vehicles by 2025 will have the integrated NCAS (Tesla) charge ports and Tesla routing interface. This is a massive game changer for Ford and no way will GM swallow its pride and join. This is VHS vs Beta. I bet Hyundai-Kia will join next.

  5. One thing I have heard is that the customers are doing the R&D and the slow roll is to protect the brand from having too many recalls, etc (there is already one on the Hummer truck that involves replacing the battery). I would think everything is going the way they want minus a year or 18 months because of C19. We have received three delivery confirmations on the SUV last month, I bet we physically see them June/July. They are showing built and waiting (battery?) Supposedly with 80amp bi-directional charging.

  6. Those thinking these fat pig Hummers will be coming soon will have to wait more time. GM is way behind on finding enough kids in those 3rd world countries to work the mines for the raw materials used in the batteries. Since these pigs have more than 3X the size batteries that the Bolt has, it’s taking way more time for the kids to dig that extra material. But don’t worry, GM is on this issue because they want the mega wealthy to get their Hummers in time to show off to the McCoys.

  7. Did Tesla go through the same thing at one time. How’s there truck coming along supposed to been available years ago. When all the manufacturers cars finally come available in quantities the ugly cars that Tesla makes nobody will buy.

  8. I HAD A CHAT WITH A GM TECH ON LINE HERE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. The tech was an upity ASS. My concern was the demise of diesel options. I told him, as a loyal customer for over 50 years, these battery trucks will not tow much of anything. Especially in the cold temps. He just sneered and laughed at me. WELL, it sucks for GM, but i get the last laugh. Mary Barra should have stuck to putting on make-up. She knows nothing about trucks, including suvs. Bye bye GM. Maybe biden will bail you out again, like Obummer did. Good riddens to you leftist woke clowns who ruined our industrial base on purpose, forever rest in hell.

    good riddens tonyou woke libtards who ruined our industrial base on purpose!
