A unique piece of history was sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction on January 28th – the first-ever 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV rolled off the production line and onto the auction block. The highly-anticipated electric SUV garnered much attention and ultimately sold for a staggering $500,000.

However, the real winner of this auction was not the lucky buyer, but Tread Lightly!, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the great outdoors through education and conservation efforts. The entire amount raised from the sale of the GMC Hummer EV SUV will go directly to Tread Lightly!, as Barrett-Jackson graciously waived their fees and commissions for this charitable cause.

The GMC Hummer EV SUV has arrived and is set to revolutionize the off-road experience. With its range-topping Edition 1 trim, this SUV packs a punch with a three-motor e4WD powertrain that produces an estimated 830 horsepower and enables quick 0-60 mph sprints.

The shorter wheelbase and tighter turning circle provide increased off-road capability, while features like CrabWalk, fast charging, and unique design elements set this SUV apart.
