The 2026 GMC Sierra EV offers impressive range flexibility. The standard battery gets you going, while extended and max-range battery options push up to 478 miles of EPA-estimated range-ideal for longer trips.

DC Fast Charging is fast: you can add up to 116 miles in about 10 minutes, so quick charging stops are easy to fit into your day. A new Standard Range battery is also available for 2026 on Elevation and Denali trims, giving you more options to match your driving needs.

To compare battery options, discuss your typical driving patterns, and explore what makes sense for you, call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444. We'll help you pick the right setup.
