General Motors will start taking preorders for the GMC Hummer battery electric pickup on May 20 after its debut.

USA Today spoke with Michelle Malcho, Buick and GMC spokeswoman and here's what she told the.

The preorder program will be conducted on a first-come, first-serve basis. A customer will have to put a "certain cash amount" down and provide a name and contact information to preorder and reserve a Hummer, Malcho said. GM has not determined the minimum down payment amount required for a preorder, Malcho said.

All 1,685 GMC dealers in the USA are eligible to sell the Hummer, Malcho said. GM held a conference call with the GMC dealers Tuesday to review a Hummer dealer agreement they must sign if they want to sell the pickup.

@2007hummerowner found a dealer in North Carolina that's already accepting pre-orders on their website!

Hi all. I bought my 2007 Hummer brand new and have enjoyed every minute. It is still going strong. Honestly thinking of an electric version never occurred to me. Looking forward to learning more and giving my thoughts as a die hard Hummer driver.

I went on their site and found this.

What's odd is that not all dealers make it easily known that an order can be placed.

I agree, AllTerrain. That's what led to my skepticism in the original post. I checked my local GMC dealer, no cigar. And it's a pretty high-volume dealer in the Cleveland area.

Yeah I haven't seen any other dealers promote something like this. So who knows. I'm curious about how many people have reached out to this dealer in North Carolina.

Dealer Pre Order Contact ~ I have the EV1 reservation here in Rhode Island. The dealer confirmed they have (8) eight total EV1 reservations. Thus far besides my GMC EV1 reservation, I only have an email from the dealership from back on October 22, 2020 from the dealership General Manager, confirming reservation and as soon as they had more information they would contact me. Back in May I contacted the GM who stated they were still awaiting information from GMC. I called last week on 7/1/21 and they stated they were still awaiting more information from GMC, with no timeline just yet. For ALL the members who may have dealer contact information on the ordering please add to this thread. Also going to recommend to the the Administrator to see if he can add a dealership column to the reservation list, so others who go through the same dealer can ensure equal costs, service etc.
