2022 GMC Hummer EV Priced Higher Than Tesla Cybertruck, Others—A Lot More

The order books are already open for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV that debuted last night. And it looks like the reimagined icon will be quite a bit more expensive than the Tesla Cybertruck—not to mention other emerging electric pickups. Prices will start at $79,995 for the base Hummer EV, on the high end of the full-size pickup market, but we’ll have to wait a long time for that version, which will be the least-expensive Hummer variant.

In fact, that base model won’t arrive until spring 2024, packing a two-motor drive system and estimated range of more than 250 miles. These trucks are quite potent, delivering 625 hp and a healthy 7,400 lb-ft of torque. The 2X trim steps up to more than 300 miles of range, as well as extra goodies such as adaptive air suspension, four-wheel steer, and a “CrabWalk” function for additional off-road prowess and will retail for $89,995 when it arrives in spring 2023. Will any tax incentives apply to the GMC Hummer EV? Nope. Since GM surpassed 200,000 electric vehicle sales a while ago, don’t expect a federal tax credit to help offset any of the Hummer’s cost.

On the 3X trim, a three-motor system increases output to 800 hp and 9,500 lb-ft of torque. This model goes for $99,995 and is available in fall 2022. Reservations are already full for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, which arrives in fall 2021 with a starting price of $112,595. The early birds who managed to snag one of these copies will get a tri-motor system pumping out 1,000 hp and a whopping 11,500 lb-ft of torque. Other goodies include an extreme off-road package, an Infinity Roof with removable transparent panels, and exclusive interior badging.

The Hummer EV will cost a pretty penny when compared to some rivals. The Tesla Cybertruck will supposedly start at $39,900 for the base single-motor configuration (although Tesla isn’t known for achieving its most radical price promises), $49,900 for the dual-motor version, and $69,900 for the tri-motor truck. Meanwhile, the Lordstown Endurance is going for $52,500. The Rivian R1T is priced at $69,000 and up. Finally, we still don’t have pricing details for the upcoming Ford F-150 Electric. We can’t wait to test all these trucks someday to see if they’re worth their weight in gold.
