General Motors sold 5,024 Hummer EV pickup units through September 2026, marking a 65.9 percent decrease compared to the previous year. The decline follows a year in which the automaker moved 17,000 units.
Why it matters
The vehicle's high base price often makes it inaccessible to average buyers. Many consumers are also favoring hybrid alternatives due to lower costs and fewer charging infrastructure limitations.
The GMC Hummer EV base 2X variant starts at $97,200, which rises to $99,895 after accounting for the $2,695 destination charge. Owners see a value loss of $20,816 after one year of ownership.
The players
General Motors

Hyundai

The details
The Hummer EV pickup measures 216.8 inches in length and features rear-wheel steering for its Crabwalk capability. Its air suspension system can raise the vehicle by as much as six inches, while the 3X variant delivers 1,160 horsepower and a 363-mile range.
Timeline
The Hummer EV saw 17,000 units sold during 2025.
General Motors reported 5,024 units sold as of September 2026.
Roadmap
The Hummer EV struggles to gain traction as the automotive industry grapples with the transition from premium electric trucks to more affordable electrified options. This shift contrasts with the sustained demand for legacy internal combustion vehicles like the Ford F-Series.
Potential buyers should note the high barrier to entry with a base price near $100,000 after fees. Prospective owners should also consider the significant depreciation, as the vehicle loses over $20,000 in value within the first year of ownership.
The takeaway
The Hummer EV occupies a niche ultra-premium space that current market conditions are finding increasingly difficult to support. Buyers looking for utility should weigh the vehicle's unique performance capabilities against the high cost of entry and ownership depreciation.
