The very first 2024 GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1 SUV with VIN 001 has crossed the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, raising an astounding $500,000.
All proceeds from the sale of VIN 001 of the Hummer EV SUV will go to Tread Lightly!, a charity group whose mission is to keep America’s outdoor recreation areas beautiful and accessible.
“We’re proud to support Tread Lightly! and their mission through the monumental sale of VIN 001 of the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 SUV at Barrett-Jackson,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC.

“We can’t thank the GMC brand and Barrett-Jackson enough for this amazing support,” said Matt Caldwell, Executive Director of Tread Lightly!.

While VIN 001 Hummer EV SUV sells for half a million dollars, the very first Hummer EV pickup was snapped up by an unnamed woman at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction in May 2021 for an eye-popping $2.5 million.
