Buyer options for electric trucks are still relatively limited but they are expanding quickly. Ever since Rivian first christened the electric truck market with the arrival of the R1T, we have seen a steady launch of new models from all major players. Ford, Tesla, Chevrolet and GMC were next in line with the F-150 Lightning, Cybertruck, Silverado EV and Hummer EV. And before the Ram 1500 even enters the picture, GMC is back with the Sierra EV.
After an initial reveal in late 2022, GMC began taking first orders for the Sierra EV in the spring of 2024. According to GM Authority, those reservation holders should be getting excited right about now. Because the Edition 1 batch of Sierra EVs will be arriving at dealers across the United States over the coming weeks.
So far we aren’t seeing evidence of much inventory, with only 9 in-transit examples listed nationwide on Cars.com as of mid-August. But if trucks did indeed begin arriving on dealer lots this week, they would be already spoken for by reservation holders or as demo units.
