The 2025 GMC Sierra EV is technically in its second model year, but since the 2024 model had a limited run of exclusively Edition 1 models, it’s the first year that this electric pickup is widely available. With a couple thousand for sale nationwide, we’re at a point where almost anyone can stroll into a GMC dealer and, about $100k later, drive home a Sierra EV.
However, dealer discounts are making this premium electric pickup more affordable than its official starting price of $91,995 implies. With supply seemingly outweighing demand, it looks like it’s not too hard to save as much as $10,000 on a brand-new GMC Sierra EV.
Auto Gallery in LaGrange, Georgia has three 2025 GMC Sierra EV units in stock: one Extended Range and two Max Range. Two of them come with a $10,000 discount, and one of the Max Range models has an $11,290 discount. Royal Moore Buick GMC in Hillsboro, Oregon has four Sierra EV units in its inventory. One is a 2024 Edition 1 with no discount listed, but the 2025 models offer savings between $6,000 and $10,000.
The most extreme example we’ve found of cash on the hood for Sierra EV models is Laguna Niguel GMC in South Orange County, California. This dealer has 11 Sierra EV units in stock, nine of which come with a $10,000 discount from the dealer. Some are 2024 Edition 1 models; others are 2025 models with Extended Range and Max Range battery packs. No matter what kind of Sierra EV Denali you’re looking for, this dealer has one with a significant discount.
We saw a similar phenomenon with dealer discounts on the Chevy Silverado EV WT last summer. We reported deep discounts ranging from $2,188 to $8,776. In some cases, you could combine discounts to get a 3WT – which normally retailed for over $70,000 – for under $60,000.
This goes to show that the full-size electric pickup truck is still a niche product. Although the Tesla Cybertruck is selling relatively well, and there are now widely available electric truck options from Chevy, GMC, and Ford, their sales numbers are minuscule compared to full-size trucks with ICE powertrains. Dealers don’t have to try very hard to sell ICE pickups, but apparently, moving the electric ones off the lot is more of a challenge.

Only for the rich who can afford an EV. Back to GAS Mary!
to rich for the average consumer, rewrite the article barta.
Does GMC offer any charging incentives? My wife leased a ‘24 Cadillac LYRIQ Luxury 2 RWD last March. She was offered $1,500 towards a home charger install or 2 years free EVGo charging. Does GMC offer this type of deal with the purchase or lease of a Sierra Denali EV?
Too much money and too soon for EV adaptation. Corporate hacks missed the mark by not letting the market dictate the rollout.
I think I saw one in this color today. It looks very nice in person.
Trouble is the folks who drive pickup trucks are not environmentalists who will spend $100K on a vehicle just to help save the planet. Then the environmentalists who’ll buy EVs aren’t into pickup trucks. Thus there’s a very narrow niche’ of the marketplace that this product resonates with. That’s why GM is selling maybe 12,000 annually instead of the 500,000 they were planning. That may not change for the foreseeable future.
At this point, still too expensive to justify. BTW, I saw a Cybertruck on I-24 heading to Nashville last month. What an ugly p.o.s! If Trump puts the brakes on charging infrastructure as he intends, it will make adoption that much further into the future.
Maybe under 65,000 I’ll bite but not for a few more years. Samsung batteries now have the risk of fires. Technology is not there. Gm needs to keep investing in gas technology and maybe 5 or so yrs batteries might be a little safer.
I hope the Escalade IQ gets to this point!!
I recently considered (for a hot second) getting either the Sierra EV max range or an Escalade IQ. I think they both look amazing. 460 miles of range and 100 mile recharge in 10 minutes is very close to what I would need to push me over the edge to buy an EV. For me it isn’t the lack of charging infrastructure that caused me to decide not to buy them. It would be a winter car for me and I live in Michigan. The cold weather range loss is what killed the deal. Until they find a way around that, I’ll be sticking with ICE or hybrid, which is what it will replace (2023 Lincoln Corsair GT PHEV). My current car is simply too small.
The problem of an EV truck is that you can’t use it as a truck. Try towing something more than 100 miles from you home, much less say a road trip with a travel trailer, boat, horse trailer, etc.
A hundred mile towing range renders them useless.
It is obvious when people comment without even a second of research. There are many towing tests where the Silverado EV got around 250 miles.
@Mudman
Go to TFLTruck.com and it will prove that when towing the EV’s don’t get even close to 250 miles of range! They are right at 100-150 max.
My 6.2L get 14.5 mpgs pulling my boat, takes 3 minutes to fill, and takes 2 hours to get to my lake house. If I had this EV the time would DOUBLE….no thank you, my time is valuable, and I need to be on water skiing.
$90K, what a bargain. I’ll take two at that price! 😒
Another overpriced General Mediocrity junkmobile that will lose 70% of its value in 3 years.
