GMC will likely be the only US brand to offer three all-electric trucks, with the Sierra EV joining the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV². Underpinning these three trucks is GM’s Ultium Platform, which enables versatility and claimed optimal performance in an all-electric truck.

This is the Denali of EVs,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “That means it leaves nothing on the table when it comes to hauling, towing and overall power.”

Front and rear electric-drive units supply a GM-estimated 754 horsepower and 785 lb.-ft. of torque to the wheels via an e4WD system in Max Power mode, giving the truck “exceptional traction and capability in almost every driving scenario.” The foundation the Sierra EV’s range, performance and capabilities is the Ultium Platform, first seen on the GMC HUMMER EV super truck.

The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1’s Power Station Pro allows the truck to be used as a mobile power source in different conditions. With the optional Ultium Power Bar accessory, the 2024 Sierra EV supplies 10.2kW of off-board power through up to 10 outlets that can help power tools and other accessories on the trail or at a campsite, as needed. When properly equipped, the Sierra EV Denali’s Power Station Pro can even power another EV.

This off-board power capability means that with the right configuration, such as a bi-directional charger and additional products and services offered through GM Energy’s Ultium Home line, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 can power a home’s essential necessities, for up to 21 days collectively¹⁰.

The EV Denali includes a 19.2kW onboard AC charging module for home and public charging. It also has a800V DC Public Fast Charging capability of up to 350kW, enabling approximately 100 miles of range to be added in 10 minutes⁴. Owners also have access to Ultium Charge 360, GM’s holistic approach to EV charging, designed to help simplify the overall charging experience, including access to more than 110,000 publicly available charging points in the U.S. and Canada.
