GM Hummer EV Reservations Have Stopped Accepting New Customers

General Motors (GM) has closed its GMC Hummer electric vehicle (EV) reservations, the renowned automaker has confirmed.

But why did GM stop accepting new orders for the Hummer EV? The American automaker explained the reason behind it as it closed reservations for now.

GM Hummer EV Reservations Have Been Closed

As per the latest news by Teslarati, the renowned carmaker is no longer welcoming new reservations for its upcoming Hummer EV pickup and the all-electric Hummer SUV.

It is worth noting that GM debuted its 2023 Hummer EV way back in 2020, resurrecting the iconic nameplate, which has been known for decades as an excessive gas-guzzler.

The new electric Hummer comes in two forms, a pickup truck, and an SUV.

Teslarati notes that the Edition 1 pickup retails for $110,295, whereas the SUV version starts at $105,595.

And since the reservation started in 2021, nearly a year after it first saw the light of day, it now has thousands of reservation holders.

Why GM Stopped Hummer EV Reservations

It turns out that the impressive number of reservations for the upcoming Hummer EV has forced the carmaker to stop accepting new orders.

According to a report by CNBC, GM revealed that its GMC Hummer SUV and pickup reservations have already reached a cool 90,000.

And as such, the giant automaker has decided to stop accepting new reservations from potential Hummer EV customers. CNBC notes that the move should help GM fulfill the orders of these thousands of reservation holders.

The news outlet reports that the fulfillment for these orders has already been extended until 2024.

Teslarati adds that the American carmaker admits to its customers that some reservation holders would have to wait longer before their Hummer EV reaches their garage.

So current Hummer EV reservations might need to equip themselves with a bit of patience.

However, the giant firm notes that Hummer SUV EV would start hitting the roads sometime in early 2023.

It is worth noting that a recent report disclosed that GM production only makes roughly 12 Hummer EVs in a day. And during that time the reservations had already reached around 77,000.

Elsewhere, Ford also stopped accepting new orders for its electric pickup, the F-150 Lightning late last year. And similar to GM, the Blue Oval also blames its strong demand, which, at that time, peaked at 200,000 reservations.
