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.
