2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Promises Massive Range—with a Sticker to Match

• 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is due to land with a manufacturer-estimated range of 440 miles on a full charge, landing just below the EPA range rating of its Chevrolet Silverado EV sibling.

• The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will start at $99,495, joining two versions of the Hummer EV in GMC's electric truck lineup.

• The electric truck is slated to offer 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque in Max Power mode, providing a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 1,450 pounds.

Even before the debut of the GMC Hummer EV, we knew that eventually we'd see several different versions of this truck architecture under different badges. And after the debut of the Chevrolet Silverado EV, it's now the turn of the GMC Sierra EV.

Just a few months ahead of its official market debut, GMC has shared a few crucial specs that will differentiate the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 from the other two electric truck models we've seen thus far. And this version will serve up something electric trucks haven't always offered in abundance: range.

The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is set to offer 440 miles of range—a manufacturer's estimate rather than official EPA numbers for the moment—still landing well north of the initial 400-mile estimate. We should note that this applies strictly to the Denali Edition 1, so other versions of the truck that will appear later may feature somewhat different range estimates.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV, which is already on sale, will still edge out this version of the Sierra EV with its 450-mile EPA range rating. The GMC Hummer EV, with its 314-mile range, will remain far behind by this measure.

The 440-mile range rating still places it far above the (much more aerodynamic) EV sedans on the market, easily eclipsing models like the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Tesla Model S, and also landing exactly 100 miles above the 340-mile range of the Cybertruck. In fact, we have a feeling this particular metric will be brought up quite frequently in various comparison tests in the coming months, especially when it is tested while actually towing something.

An 800-volt architecture, meanwhile, will permit charging rates of up to 350 kW, allowing the truck to gain 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
