Building off the momentum of the Bolt, the Blazer EV is Chevy's first model built on the GM BEV3 platform shared with its brand-cousin, the Cadillac Lyriq and Honda’s latest EV models. Along with the shared platform, the Chevy Blazer EV utilizes GM’s Ultium battery and electric motors that boasts 90% less wiring and reduced dependency on cobalt to reduce production costs and complexity. The Chevy Blazer EV has a host of feature options, including the choice of rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and either an 85 kWh or 105 kWh battery.
The Blazer EV’s sharp lines and wide stance give it a sporty look that midsize crossover buyers will appreciate along with access to SuperCruise, GM’s hands-free driving system. Those looks don’t come at the expense of power, with AWD trims able to push a healthy 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque and the RWD RS trim kicking it up a notch to 340 horsepower and 32 lb-ft of torque. With limited competition in the midsized non-luxury electric SUV space, the Chevy Blazer EV brings worthy competition to the Tesla Model Y and the Honda Prologue.
The 2024 Blazer EV currently comes in two battery sizes and three configurations and drivetrains: 2LT AWD with dual-motors and 85 kWh battery or RS RWD with single motor, RS RWD with single-motor and a 105 kWh battery, or RS AWD with dual-motor and 85 kWh battery. Available Spring 2024, Chevy will add an SS AWD model that includes the larger 105 kWh battery from the RS RWD configuration. These large batteries come with exceptional range including an EPA estimated 279 miles for the AWD 85 kWh battery model, 294 miles for the SS with AWD and 105 kWh battery and 324 miles for the RS RWD 105 kWh battery model.
Regardless of trim level, every Blazer EV can charge at 11.5 kW with a compatible Level 2 charger, like JuiceBox 48, for quick and convenient charging at home. The RS RWD and upcoming SS models gain an optional 19.2 kW on-board charger. When you’re out on the road, ycan top off quickly with 2LT and RS AWD variants charging up at 150 kW and RS RWD and SS models going up to 190 kW.
