GMC Has Embraced the Electric Revolution and Offers a Slew of EVs

As your local GMC dealer, we want you to know about all of the brand’s electric offerings. With charging stations cropping up all over Colorado and EVs having longer-than-ever driving ranges, there has not been a better time to get yourself a ride with an electric powertrain. You’ll be saving plenty of money as you’ll no longer have to stop at the pump, and you’ll also reduce stress as you won’t have to reconsider your budget each week thanks to turbulent gas prices. Instead, you’ll save time during morning commutes thanks to no gas station pit stops, and you’ll be better able to lay out your spending plans ahead of time. Plus, you’ll have some extra cash you can spend or invest.

Today, we want to lay out the specifics of GMC’s current electric lineup so you can have an idea of how diverse it is and which of its electric offerings might fit your driving lifestyle. We also want to clear up any misconceptions you might have about the power of EVs. No driver needs to “settle” to get an efficient ride, not anymore. These vehicles can be very, very powerful, towing a heavy load and roaring onto the highway thanks to superior acceleration. Let’s take a look at some of the details of GMC’s electric options so you can decide which one you want to take out for a test drive.

GMC Hummer EV SUV: A More Family-Friendly Vehicle Than You’d Think

When you hear the name “Hummer,” you might think of a gas-guzzling military vehicle. Not in this case. The Hummer EV SUV is still ready to rock and roll, but it’s also ready to help you take the kids out to the park or up to the mountains to ski in the winter. Its electric powertrain allows you to travel quite a long distance before a recharge, as it can go an EPA-estimated 315 miles. That means, in most cases, you can just recharge overnight at home instead of worrying about locating a charging station (not that those are too hard to find these days).

The electric powertrain is going to rocket you down the highway as it comes with up to three motors that can crank out 830 hp. If you’re planning to take a trip across Colorado, you’ll have no worry about getting stuck merging from an on-ramp; you’ll glide right onto the freeways thanks to this vehicle’s acceleration, which can have you going from zero to 60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds. Pretty impressive in any circumstances, but especially when you consider this SUV’s size. The powertrain also makes this vehicle off-roading friendly, thanks to all that horsepower, and allows you to tow up to 10,000 lbs.

The electric element of the Hummer EV SUV is exciting, but don’t fear that it might skimp on SUV traits. For instance, you can handle quite a load of cargo thanks to the 81.8 cu.ft. of space you’ll have if you fold down the rear row of seats. Forget about just moving luggage; you’ll have no problem moving furniture with that amount of room. With its capability and interior space, this SUV serves families and adventurers alike.

GMC Hummer EV Pickup: An Eye-Catching Truck Ready to Tow

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a unique look to it, at once sleek and muscular, merging together the look of a Hummer and a Sierra; it is sure to make you the talk of the town and cause some envious looks to be thrown your way. However, this is not a vehicle that relies solely on its appearance as a selling point. The amount of power this electric pickup has is astonishing. It can tow up to 12,000 lbs, which is substantially more than the truck itself weighs. Yet, on the opposite end, it’s also ready to take off quickly, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in approximately three seconds, leaving almost all other pickup trucks in the dust.

This capability comes thanks to the two available powertrain configurations. One is a dual-motor setup that cranks out 570 hp. An impressive number, right? Well, wait until you see how much its tri-motor option offers: 1,000 hp. No, that’s not a typo. All of a sudden, it’s not a shock that a truck this size can still blast off like a sports car; with energy like that, nothing will stop you.

Of course, you can look at these impressive performance stats and worry that your Hummer EV Pickup will run out of charge quickly. That is not the case, though. With its tri-motor option, it can go an estimated 312 miles. That’s why this pickup also works well for those who like to go off-roading; you’ll have a charge for ages. The available 35-inch mud tires and 15.9 inches of ground clearance help, too.

GMC Sierra EV: A Classic Look With a Lightning Touch

When you think of the iconic look of an American pickup truck, you’re probably thinking about a vehicle that looks a heck of a lot like the GMC Sierra. A firm muscular build, an intimidating front grille, and a deep truck bed that can handle a hefty payload: these are all images that drivers associate with the Sierra. Now, you can get all that, but with an electric motor, so you don’t have to worry about guzzling gas and breaking the bank at the pump.

The GMC Sierra EV comes with electric motors in both the front and back, granting you 760 hp, which is why this truck can go from zero to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, which ranks more than a second faster than the traditional gasoline-powered Sierra 1500. In fact, you might be noticing that speed is a hallmark of all of GMC’s EVs; electric motors can provide you with acceleration that feels like you’re rocketing off.

Towing is another highlight of this truck, as it still provides the full Sierra experience drivers have come to know and love over the years. Not only can you move 10,000 lbs, but the Sierra EV also comes with advanced trailering tech that lets you keep an eye on what you’re moving and updates you on its status (such as tire pressure) so you can feel secure while you journey.

This truck charges fast, too, and with its standard battery pack, it has an estimated range of 390 miles. That’s even more than the Hummer EV Pickup, making the Sierra EV another truck that’s ideal for those who like getting lost off the roads of Colorado and driving into nature. Don’t worry: this truck will be more than ready to handle those rough terrains, too, thanks to its superior suspension and nimble steering. You’ll be more than ready to rumble in mud or snow.
