General Motors unveiled the 2024 GMC Sierra EV last year, with the new battery-driven pickup set to launch with the range-topping GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1. We’ve seen the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 out in the wild before, but now, we’re getting a look at it on public streets in a much more complete form.
Indeed, this is our best look yet at the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 beyond GM’s official press images. This particular example looks to be more or less production-complete, save for a few missing badges around the doors and a missing GMC badge on the tailgate.
While prototype examples spotted previously included mismatched body pieces, this particular GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 includes crisp white panels front to back, giving us a much clearer view of the truck’s design. Standout features include a body-colored grille shield on the nose, which is lined in black and provides a nice complement to the glossy black on the lower bumper. The grille shield is also notable for the GMC badge, which is lined in chrome, as compared to the illuminated GMC badging seen on the nose of the GMC Sierra EV Denali in press photos.
Further details include a set of 24-inch wheels, which appear to be finished in a combination of black and brightwork finishes. In back, additional black trim is applied to the rear bumper surround and the headlights. The black-and-white color combo lends the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali a stark, high-tech appearance, recalling the GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 in that regard.
As for the specs, the GMC Sierra EV offers upwards of 400 miles of range per charge, while output from the GM Ultium Drive motors is estimate at 754 horsepower and 758 pound-feet of torque. The GM Ultium batteries include the Onboard Power Station Pro feature, as well as DC quick-charge capabilities that juice up with 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
As GM Authority covered previously, reservations for the GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 filled just 15 minutes after opening.

Interesting that myself and thousands of other faithful GMC owners are still driving around with no heated steering wheel, back up alarms or heated seats in our 2022 GMC’s
GM seems more interested in selling NEW than satisfying long term customers. Thanks Mary!
So how many of these massive EV trucks does GMC (GM) actually plan on selling to the public anyway? How can you recoup the cost of development when you’ll probably not sell enough of these to make it worthwhile. I can agree with “Don”, for gosh sakes take care of your prior commitments to your current customers first, or you’ll maybe not have any future customers to have to worry about! Building a (and I’m estimating here based on the Chevy configuration of this EV truck) $100,000 EV truck (in Denali trim) at this time seems an exercise in futility, while it’s interesting to look at and probably drive, I certainly don’t have the cash nor the need for such a vehicle, spending 60 to 70 grand for an average option equipped GMC ICE truck is scary enough, now someone at GM (let me guess, uh…Mary Barra?) thinks the public is going to rush to their friendly GMC dealer and lay out damn near one hundred grand (or more!) for one of these things?
Me thinks GMC has lost their collective minds here, they’re going to be in total shock when very few prospective new customers sign up for one of these EV trucks and they’ll be scratching their collective hind ends wondering “gee where did we go wrong”! I can tell you where you’ll be going wrong GM….listening to idiots in our government who are trying to push this “EV” crap down our collective throats! America hasn’t the power grids available nor the stained technology to maintain millions of “EV’s” that they project is the transportation future of the world! Just my opinion, and I assume that there will be “haters” who don’t feel the same way that I do, but if you actually “follow the science” you’ll see that we are being led down a really bad road here (pun intended) so maybe GM (and Ford too) might want to take a lesson from Toyota and not go 100% EV production in the future, perhaps some sort of a Hybrid that runs on both forms of energy (at least for now) would make a lot more sense…but who said you have to make sense in this world any more, just go with what ever someone dictates is best for all of us? Sorry…I don’t buy that theory, I’ll just hang onto me “ICE” GMC Denali truck for as long as I can, it’s a proven product and that to me, makes a lot more sense, at least at this time anyway. ‘Nuff said.
Irrational hatred for Mary and EVs, but it is the people who disagree with you who are “haters”?
This is an easy retort:
Irrational love for Mary and EVs, but it is the people who disagree with you (and her) who are “haters”?
I know I will be rushing to get one so….. Yea! Funny how the truck world gives so much push back based on price yet GM and Ford have always had very expensive trucks. Besides the 2500 and 3500 models in all manufacture trims, The Denali Ultimate ICE was always close to $100K. I have had nothing but EV’s for the last 5 years and besides the fuel saving which has been TRAMENDOUS the maintenance requirements have been almost $0. Tires, wipers, and Pollen filters. The RST trim you speak about is not going to be for everyone so get one of the lower tear trims. But I commend GM and all the other brands for creating the road to the EV future. Like all innovations it will be expensive at first. There was a time that purchasing a 65″ TV required a second mortgage. Now you can get one for $500.00 As for the infrastructure and the grid. You are speaking about upgrades. All of which can be done and will be once big business see the profits. Because lets face it this all runs on money. GM doesn’t build there cars as a generous donation to the world. Electricity is cheaper and cleaner to produce. The infrastructure to move it is also cheaper to build. All an all it comes down to when the greedy corporations are going to shift there revenue streams.
Why are they pushing four door pickups on everybody. Not everybody wants a four door. Pulse I’m not ready for an electric pickup truck or car also. When they show me a two door pickup. I might think of looking at it. Thank you.
GM is selling 2 Doors for WT ICE Silverados and also higher Trim 2 Doors for the Middle East… go there and export one back to the states.
It looks like I obviously hit a nerve mentioning “Queen Mary” Barra and a full EV (only) selection for future GM products in a negative way. It’s not “hatred”, it simply expressing a point of view, hatred is different than “non acceptance or lack of respect”….I don’t “hate Mary Barra”, I just don’t respect what she’s done with the company that has given her free rein to do as she pleases with GM, which (in my humble opinion) has been somewhat of a disaster! I don’t “hate” EV’s either….I just feel that they’re being shoved down our throats at this time by political ideals pushing a certain political agenda. Again, it’s just an opinion, agree or disagree, that’s fine, it’s how our wonderful Democracy works. Is that being “irrational”? No, not really it’s just pointing out the negatives that seem to be constantly present when dealing with current EV’s. They’ll work fine for some folks and for others, like myself, I don’t think they’re “the answer” to a problem that we’re trying to solve by utilizing an “All EV Society” because it takes lots of “Energy” to make things move, and how we make that “Energy” is the all important answer the equation. Lets all hope that America can supply the extra energy we’ll need in the coming years.
Well stated, Rick.
Disagreement is quickly labeled “hate” from the Mary-can-do-no-wrong crowd, and the left in general.
Zero upvotes and a very quick 3 downvotes.
My point is made (and I’m obviously a hater).
Dumb as hell. GM needs new leadership. EVs are not the future.
They are the future. I am looking forward to it.
All those sticking to ICE are going to be left far behind.
Reminds me of a story I once heard while at a Cars & Coffee gathering, it seems two guys were discussing who’d win in a race between a Buick Gran National and a Corvette of the same year vintage, and so it seemed the correct answer was the Turbo Buick GN (back in the day) but then someone in the crowd quickly stated “if you lose to a Buick GN, you simply haven’t raced a long enough distance” OR “you just wait for that first corner”! Following that same sort of logic, who’d win in a race between an “ICE” vehicle and an EV”…if you lost to an EV (they are damn quick vehicles I do admit) you simply haven’t raced a long enough distance cause once that EV’s low on charge or worse yet, out of a charge completely, the ICE vehicle can stop and gas up almost anywhere within a few minutes in any kind of weather and you’re back on the road again heading to your destination, while the EV can only hope for a charging stations that’s open and working and does not have a long line to get into! Time is money they say, you want a “Quick Charge” (or with a Tesla, a Supercharge) you’re going to pay dearly for it and you can’t do that too many times in row, or you’ll damage your batteries! Those who consider an EV the true vehicle of the future are going to be fighting a losing race as we’ve already established the fact that most States (and we haven’t even considered those very cold in the winter States where batteries just won’t give you the mileage you might expect) will be having a difficult time producing a constant supply of power (electricity) as needed, especially during those freezing cold winter months where those EV’s will be at their worst attempting to traverse freezing cold highways and rural roads, and of course not to mention in snowy weather, “AWD” or not, snow tires or not, it’ll be tough going for most EV’s in the cold winter months. That is why I’d prefer a true Hybrid vehicle, possibly the best of both worlds and Toyota knows this and they’re refusing to go full EV but instead prefer to go the Hybrid route where you’ve got choices instead of GM’s idea to go “Full EV” in the next 5 years or so, maybe sooner if “Queen Mary Barra” has her way. So being a “positive guy” (no EV pun intended) I’m positive there will be one hell of a controversy as more and more EV’s hit the roads of every State in America. Time will tell if the EV truly is the proposed Harbinger of things to come, but my bets on the good old “ICE” vehicles, I personally think there is a lot of good miles still left in them as we progress down the road for our future transportation needs.
As far looks it’s pretty decent . The grand EV Avalanche is looks better than Chevy version. I’d say black it would look the best or grey
I love the truck and when I win the powerball I’ll get one
I’ve got a duramax and an ev truck. What the duramax doesn’t do well, the ev truck excels at.
The duramax doesn’t get driven much anymore unless it’s long distance towing.
Anyway, just coming in to say that it’s not ‘Nuff said.
Drive an ev truck for a day and then tell me that you don’t instantly realize it’s the future of the automobile.
Turn off fox news and experience it for yourself.
