GMC just isn’t the corporate that involves thoughts at first when you concentrate on electrical autos, however it’s really doing fairly properly on transferring them out the door.

Actually, GMC sells simply 5 fashions, and two of them are full electrics. Its legendary Hummer is now solely obtainable as an EV, which explains why I see them all over now and virtually by no means see a non-electric Hummer.

As indicated within the title, with the US EV tax credit score expiring on September 30, GMC pushed much more EVs out the door — 83.7% greater than within the third quarter of 2024. The model bought 8,620 EVs, in comparison with 4,692 the 12 months earlier than. Gross sales of the GMC Hummer EV grew 21.9%, whereas gross sales of the GMC Sierra EV grew 771.8%. That mentioned, Q3 2024 was the Sierra EV’s first quarter available on the market.

Nonetheless, even with the gross sales surge, GMC’s EVs solely accounted for five.2% of GMC’s whole gross sales within the third quarter. Not that spectacular, however, hey, who has really been in a position to make a giant splash within the pickup truck market to date?

Naturally, the third quarter was a file gross sales quarter for each of GMC’s electrical fashions. As with the opposite auto manufacturers, the query is whether or not GMC will have the ability to construct on that and promote a number of thousand EVs 1 / 4 going ahead. For that matter, when will GMC have the ability to break the ten,000 EVs 1 / 4 barrier? Any guesses?
