Why your next adventure trip should be in an EV

2025-03-06


Imagine heading out into the wilderness on a whisper-quiet drive that lets you focus on the natural beauty of the outdoors. In a General Motors electric vehicle, you can explore America’s most beautiful sights with zero emissions and plenty of range – and on select models, the ability to power your campsite with off-board power.

GM offers the industry’s broadest EV portfolio, including the GMC HUMMER EV, the Chevrolet Silverado EV, and the GMC Sierra EV – three absolute workhorses when it comes to outdoor expeditions.

CAPTION: The Hummer is the perfect car for a southwestern desert adventure.

Planning your trip

Here are six reasons to take your EV on your next getaway:

1. Incredible range: Our EVs have impressive range, more than enough to get away from it all. The 2025 GMC HUMMER EV 3X SUV offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 312 miles; the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST and GMC Sierra EV Denali both have a GM-estimated range of up to 460 miles on a full charge.

2. Plenty of power: The GMC HUMMER EV SUV has up to 7,500 pounds of towing capacity. With the Silverado EV RST and GMC Sierra EV, you get towing capacity of up to 10,500 pounds, so you can bring your toys with you. (Actual towing capacity will vary based on trim level.)

3. Plug in your stuff: With GM EVs equipped with off-board power or outlets, you can power appliances, lights, cooking equipment, or tools. Charge your phone or laptop – or even another vehicle that’s run out of juice. Bring a toaster. Or a blender.

CAPTION: Drive your EV to the wilderness, and bring along your boat.

4. High performance: Our EV trucks and SUVs offer powerful acceleration and near-instant torque – and an ability to handle rough terrain. In addition to all-electric power, certain models are equipped with 4-wheel steer, enabling CrabWalk (GMC) or Sidewinder (Chevrolet), a revolutionary feature that allows you to drive diagonally at low speeds, giving drivers a new way to conquer everything from rugged landscapes to tight parking spaces.

5. Mean and green: Adventurers have a deep appreciation for nature – and with an EV, you can enjoy the serenity of the outdoors peacefully and without a tailpipe.

6. Chargers galore: GM EV drivers can now access more than 250,000 charge points across the U.S. and Canada (including the Tesla Supercharger network with required adapter, sold separately), making it easy to find reliable charging options along your route.

The bottom line: Whether you’re camping in the mountains, exploring national parks or heading to the beach, an EV can be an awesome companion for your next outdoor escape.

Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the trailering section of the Owner’s Manual. The trailering capacity of your specific vehicle may vary. The weight of passengers, cargo and options or accessories may reduce the amount you can trailer.

Crab walk limited to low speeds. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.

Actual EV range estimates will vary based on several factors, including ambient temperature, terrain, battery age and condition, loading, and how you use and maintain your vehicle.
