The GMC Sierra EV is GMC’s full-size electric pickup, sold new in El Paso
The Sierra EV comes in three electric trims for the 2026 model year: Extended Range with an 11kW charger, Extended Range with a 19kW charger, and Standard Range with an 11kW charger. All three use an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
Group 1 GMC Westside sells new GMC models, and the Sierra EV is on that list alongside the Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD. The Sierra EV is a full-size truck, so the trim you pick shapes range, charging and towing more than anything else. The sections that follow cover each of those in turn.
What does a new GMC Sierra EV cost in El Paso?
GMC’s published starting prices for the 2026 model year are $62,400 for the Elevation trim, $69,700 for the Denali and $79,300 for the AT4. Each price belongs to its own trim, so the number you see depends on which trim you choose. Texas adds its own sales tax and registration fees on a new electric truck, and the state sets those, not the dealer.
Group 1 GMC Westside sells the Sierra EV new at 955 Crockett St, so those three starting prices are a good place to begin the conversation. Bring the trim you are considering and your budget, and compare the figures side by side.
How far can the GMC Sierra EV go on a charge?
The EPA rates each Sierra EV trim for a different electric range, and the range follows the trim and charger. The Extended Range with the 11kW charger is the longest of the three at 410.0 miles, and the Standard Range with the 11kW charger is the shortest at 283.0 miles. The table shows the EPA figures for each trim.
| Trim | EPA electric range (miles) | EPA combined MPGe |
|---|---|---|
| Sierra EV Extended Range, 11kW charger | 410.0 | 68 |
| Sierra EV Extended Range, 19kW charger | 385.0 | 64 |
| Sierra EV Standard Range, 11kW charger | 283.0 | 67 |
Pick the trim whose range covers your normal week with room to spare. If you drive longer days, the Extended Range trims give you the most distance before you need to plug in.
How fast does the GMC Sierra EV charge?
The charger is part of the trim. The Extended Range trim comes with either an 11kW or a 19kW charger, and the Standard Range trim comes with the 11kW charger. So the charger you get depends on the trim you buy, and it is worth deciding on both together.
El Paso has public charging to plan around. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center counts 74 public electric vehicle charging stations with 194 charging ports within 25 miles of downtown El Paso. Only 15 of those sites offer DC fast charging, with 83 DC fast ports inside that same radius (U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, 2026). With that mix, a plan that starts with charging at home makes the most sense, and public charging covers the trips outside your routine.
How much can the GMC Sierra EV tow and haul?
The Sierra EV is rated for towing, and the Crew Cab is the configuration each rating covers. Every figure below is for an e4WD two-motor Crew Cab truck. GCWR means gross combined weight rating, the most the truck and trailer can weigh together.
| Trim | Max conventional towing (lbs) | GCWR (lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| Sierra EV AT4 Extended Range | 12,300 | 21,400 |
| Sierra EV AT4 Max Range | 10,200 | 19,700 |
| Sierra EV Denali Extended Range | 12,500 | 21,400 |
| Sierra EV Denali Max Range | 10,200 | 19,700 |
| Sierra EV Denali Standard Range | 8,500 | 16,600 |
| Sierra EV Elevation Extended Range | 12,500 | 21,400 |
| Sierra EV Elevation Standard Range | 8,500 | 16,600 |
The Extended Range trims carry the highest ratings, up to 12,500 pounds. The Standard Range trims rate at 8,500 pounds. If you tow regularly, let that number guide your trim choice before anything else.
What warranty comes with a new GMC Sierra EV?
GMC’s published warranty for the Sierra EV starts with a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain coverage is typically 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and other durations are available.
The battery has its own limited warranty. In GMC’s EV battery warranty wording, “The propulsion battery packs found in HUMMER EVs and Sierra EVs, as well as their internal components, are covered by a limited warranty for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.” That coverage applies when battery capacity falls below 75% of its original value during the warranty period, as a certified dealer determines, with a battery suited to the vehicle’s age and mileage.

Can I trade in my current truck toward a Sierra EV at Group 1 GMC Westside?
Yes. Once your truck has been inspected, the store pays out its value by check, and you can put that amount toward a down payment. In an April 2026 5-star Google review, Jesus O. wrote: “The entire buying process was easy; within a couple of hours, I had my old vehicle traded in and was rolling out in a new truck on terms that fit my budget. Would definitely recommend working with Austin if you are lucky enough to have him as your point of contact at the dealership.”
What Texas fees apply when I register a new electric truck?
Texas charges motor vehicle sales tax of 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). A fully electric car or truck rated at 10,000 lbs. or less pays an annual $200 fee at registration renewal, and a new electric vehicle issued two years of registration pays a $400 fee (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). All standard registration fees still apply on top of those.
What federal incentive applies to a new GMC Sierra EV purchase today?
None applies. The Internal Revenue Service says the federal New Clean Vehicle Credit and the Previously-Owned Clean Vehicle Credit have ended, and they are not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 (Internal Revenue Service, 2026). A new Sierra EV bought today does not qualify for either credit.
