2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1
The Sierra EV was announced in 2021 and was confirmed at the time to launch in 2023. GMC has hinted that this may not be the “high-volume” electric truck that GM CEO Mary Barra emphasized when describing the Silverado EV, so work truck variants like those offered by Chevy may not be on the cards. GMC has said that an AT4 off-road model is in the works, as well as a lower-cost Elevation model priced around $50,000.

Large-scale production of the Sierra EV and Silverado EV at GM’s Orion assembly plant in Michigan has already been postponed to mid-2026—the latest in a series of delays to production of these trucks and GM’s other Ultium electric vehicles.
