2025 GMC Sierra EV goes up to 460 miles, adds lower-price version

• 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali steps up to an EPA-equivalent range of 460 miles
• Sierra EV Denali compares to Chevy Silverado EV RST
• Elevation and AT4 versions of Sierra EV are on the way

With the GMC Sierra EV pickup as well as the GMC Hummer EV family of SUVs and pickups, GM’s upmarket truck brand is fully on board with the idea of electric trucks—albeit without work-truck versions such as those offered through the Chevy brand.

To that, the GMC Sierra EV is mechanically identical to the Chevrolet Silverado EV, but it offers different design details and equipment to go along with the gas and diesel Sierra lineup. Both the Silverado EV and Sierra EV are entirely different vehicles underneath versus their combustion counterparts, built around GM’s large-format pouch cells jointly developed with LG.

The 2024 GMC Sierra EV has only up until now been delivered in Denali Edition 1 form, with the larger pack and a “GM-estimated” EPA range of 440 miles. GMC is re-upping the Sierra EV Denali for 2025 with more range and higher max tow ratings, and while work-truck versions remain out of the mix, it’s confirmed that Elevation and AT4 versions of the Sierra EV will arrive later in the 2025 model year. 

Two battery-pack sizes give you a choice of how much range you need—and how much battery weight you want to be hauling around to enable that. In EPA range ratings, the GMC Sierra EV Extended Range versions deliver 390 miles of EPA range from about 170 kwh, and the Max Range versions previously at 440 miles are now “GM-estimated” up to 460 miles from about 205 kwh. 

That parallels what Chevrolet recently announced for the 2025 Chevy Silverado RST—a range boost from 440 miles to 460 miles through what Chevy explained to be efficiency-related tweaks to motors, inverters, and aerodynamics. Work-truck (WT) versions of the 2025 Silverado EV rate up to 492 miles of range from that largest battery pack.

Both are dual-layer packs—meaning that the Sierra EV can charge at 800 volts and up to 350 kw—recovering up to 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes.

The 2024 Sierra EV Denali was priced at $99,495, including the larger pack and $1,995 destination fee. For 2025, the Sierra EV Denali with that Max Range pack goes up about a thousand bucks, to $100,495 including 2025’s $2,095 destination fee. But with the smaller Extended Range pack, the Sierra EV costs $91,995. 

The Sierra EV provides a combined 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque with either battery pack, via two motors and drive units—one front, one rear. Four-wheel steering enables an impressive turning circle of less than 42.2 feet, despite an overall length of 233.2 inches. 

The front trunk—often called a frunk, but termed an “eTrunk” by GMC—holds 11.0 cubic feet of cargo and is an ideal space for a carry-on bag or backpack.

Like the Silverado EV, the Sierra EV offers a super-versatile midgate setup—meaning that the bed of the truck can be expanded to fit items up to 11 feet long, while still accommodating passengers in the back seat. Think of it as wiggle room to balance out your needs, depending on the job. 

An adaptive air suspension also improves ride comfort and allows the truck to be raised or lowered by about two inches.

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV also ups its max towing capacity 500 pounds versus last year—to 10,500 pounds.

GMC says that those upcoming Elevation and AT4 trims of Sierra EV will arrive in the first half of 2025. Here, it might be useful to look to the gasoline Sierra, where the Elevation models get more blacked-out trim plus suspension and towing upgrades and add a few more convenience features, while AT4 models get an off-road-tuned suspension and skid plates. But exact details won’t come until some months later, when the arrival of these models will surely, once again, bring some lower prices to this electric truck lineup.
