An all-electric powertrain, bidirectional charging, and 4-Wheel Steer are some of the innovative features you will find in the 2025 GMC Sierra EV. The full-size pickup truck comes equipped with tremendous horsepower and a long list of technologies to tackle jobs both on and off the pavement.

All-Electric Powertrain

The heart of the GMC Sierra EV is an all-electric propulsion system that generates 645 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. It incorporates two electric motors, with one positioned on each axle, and an Extended Range battery. Choosing the available Max Range battery increases the power output to a formidable 760 hp, making the truck quicker and giving it extra muscle for the worksite. In this configuration, the Sierra EV hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and tows 10,500 lbs.

Although there are many all-electric pickup trucks on the market, only a few come close to matching the driving range of the Sierra EV. The standard Extended Range battery allows the pickup truck to drive an impressive 390 miles on a single charge. With the Max Range battery, the Sierra EV's driving range reaches an incredible 460 miles.

Bidirectional Charging

The electric pickup truck has access to approximately 250,000 public chargers, which include Level 2 and DC chargers. You can locate the nearest station or plan a charging stop along your route using the myGMC mobile app. When plugged into an 800V DC Fast Charger, the Sierra EV gains up to 100 miles of electric range in 10 minutes, allowing you to continue your haul after a short break.

You can also charge the Sierra EV at home with a GM Energy PowerShift charger. Adding a vehicle-to-home (V2H) enablement kit to the system lets you harness the pickup truck's bidirectional charging capabilities. The Sierra EV is capable of powering your home for up to 21 days during a blackout.

Revolutionary Off-Road Technology

You can confidently drive deep into the wilderness thanks to the Sierra EV's traction-rich eAWD system, 8.95 inches of ground clearance, and adaptive air suspension with adjustable ride height. With the press of a button, drivers can increase the truck's ground clearance to put extra distance between the underbody and rugged terrain.

The pickup truck also features a host of other innovative off-road technologies, such as 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk. 4-Wheel Steer enables you to make extremely tight maneuvers by turning the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front ones. CrabWalk, on the other hand, turns all four wheels in the same direction, allowing the truck to move diagonally.

Barrington drivers shopping for an electric truck will find two excellent options at the local GMC dealership: the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and the 2025 GMC Sierra EV. One is more affordable and offers a reliable driving range for long-haul trucking, while the other is packed with torque and technology for extreme off-roading. more Horsepower and Torque While both electric trucks have impressive power outputs, the HUMMER EV Pickup takes the lead with its dual-motor setup, producing 570 hp and 7,400 lb-ft of torque in its base configuration. The HUMMER EV 3X Pickup takes things a step further with its tri-motor setup, zapping a best-in-class 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, the more affordable Sierra EV's two electric motors produce a maximum of 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque when properly equipped. Acceleration and Towing Capacity The torque-rich HUMMER EV Pickup dominates in acceleration and max trailering capacity. With its exclusive electric launch control system, Watts to Freedom, the EV 3X sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds. Meanwhile, the entry-level EV 2X offers the best towing capacity, which reaches a staggering 12,000 lbs. However, this doesn't mean that the Sierra EV is lacking in the performance department. The electric pickup truck sprints from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds with Max Power Mode and tows an impressive 10,500 lbs. Off-Roading Capabilities If you are looking for a capable off-roader, your options don't get better than the HUMMER EV Pickup.

Standard off-roading technology includes Extract Mode, which increases ground clearance by 4 inches, and CrabWalk, which turns the rear wheels parallel to the front ones. Only second to the HUMMER EV Pickup, the Sierra EV also comes with a number of off-roading technologies. Its Air Ride Adaptive Suspension allows you to increase ground clearance on demand, and engaging 4-Wheel Steer decreases the turn radius for tighter maneuvers. The truck also features CrabWalk, similar to the HUMMER EV Pickup. Driving Range The Sierra EV drives much further than most electric trucks in the market, even in its base configuration. The standard battery offers a reliable 390 miles of driving range, while the available Max Range Battery boosts this to an outstanding 460 miles. For comparison, the HUMMER EV Pickup drives up to 367 miles at the EV 3X trim level.
