The GMC model experiences 156,005 car deliveries throughout the second quarter of 2023 in the USA, which is eighteen % greater than a yr in the past. The year-to-date outcome at 286,613 can also be optimistic (up 13 % year-over-year).
Sadly, one thing is holding again manufacturing and gross sales of the all-electric GMC Hummer EV Pickup and its SUV model.
In Q2, solely 47 electrical Hummer autos had been delivered to clients, which is nearly 83 % lower than a yr in the past (272). The one optimistic that we see is a rise from simply two items in Q1.
General, all-electric car gross sales are an virtually non-measurable fraction of GMC gross sales – regardless of hundreds of consumers ready for his or her BEVs.
GMC BEV gross sales in Q2 2023:
- Hummer EV Pickup: 47 (down 83%) and close to 0% share
To date this yr, GMC’s all-electric car gross sales amounted to simply 49 items, which is a really low quantity, even in comparison with the earlier yr (371 items in H1 2022).
GMC BEV gross sales YTD in 2023:
- Hummer EV Pickup: 49 (down 94%) and close to 0% share
We marvel what’s the cause that stops GMC Hummer EV Pickup from promoting at a better quantity. Over the previous seven quarters, the corporate barely exceeded 900 items. Not even a thousand.
One of many points in late 2022/early 2023 was a manufacturing pause on the Manufacturing unit ZERO in Michigan (Detroit and Hamtramck), as a result of preparations for one more Ultium-based mannequin, the Chevrolet Silverado EV.
We guess that probably there may also be different causes, like restricted battery provide or some ramp-up problems with the Ultium platform (Cadillac Lyriq ramp-up can also be going gradual in any case).
Let’s recall that the corporate closed reservations for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer EV SUV fashions in September 2022, with greater than 90,000 items reserved (backed by $100 refundable deposits). In October 2022, we heard that the Hummer EV duo is offered out for 2 years.
The Hummer EV duo ought to be produced at a charge of most likely 5,000-10,000 items per quarter to adequately reply to the demand.
