Demand For The GMC Hummer EV Is Huge

The EV truck and SUV game is heating up, with theRivian R1Tmaking the first big splash in the US. TheTesla Cybertruck, following numerous delays, is set to arrive within the next year, and theGMC Hummer EVhas people in a frenzy too. Earlier this month, President Joe Biden visited GM's new Factory Zero in Hamtramck, Michigan, after which GM vice president Duncan Aldred announced that the GMC website爆炸有兴趣, and registered 230 percent more visitors than usual. That massive jump in traffic might pay dividends, asGM Authoritynow reports that there are more than 125,000 hand-raisers for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV.

A hand-raiser is someone who has visited the website and registered an interest in the vehicle by sharing their contact information. This is still far short of placing an actual pre-order and paying the $100 pre-order fee, but in the age where people are highly selective about handing out their contact information, this is a good sign that the Hummer EV will sell well. According to Global Vice-President of Cadillac, Rory Harvey, between 20 to 30 percent of hand-raisers end up converting into actual sales, which means we're looking at around 25,000 sales of the Hummer EV out the gate. GM's other highly anticipated SUV, the 2023Cadillac Lyriq, has attracted an incredible 216,000 hand-raisers.
