Although the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV shares its name with the gas-powered Chevy Blazer found at your nearest Chevy dealership, the similarity ends there. These two cars have nothing else in common. As one of the first models utilizing GM’s multibillion Ultium EV platform, the Blazer EV presents one of the strongest arguments for buying electric SUVs.
1. Its Ultium Underpinnings
Ultium is GM’s EV platform aimed at leading the company to EV dominance. At the heart of the platform is a high-capacity battery designed to withstand repeated fast charging. In a pioneering move, GM has built wireless monitoring capability into the battery system, making them the first in the industry to offer car owners the convenience of knowing the health of their car’s battery at all times.
2. It Has Multiple Trim Levels
The Blazer EV is the perfect example of GM’s commitment to offering EVs across a range of styles and price points. The base LT trim has an estimated range of 279 miles on all-wheel drive. Its motors produce about 288 horsepower. The sporty-looking RS trim is as much of a head-turner as it is powerful. Its RWD version has the longest estimated range of all trims, reaching 324 miles.
If you desire performance, then you’ll love the high-end SS trim. Fitted with a dual-motor engine that delivers an impressive 557 horsepower and 648 lb-ft of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds.
3. It Is Well Designed
Each feature of the Blazer EV is sensible and useful. From the long wheelbase that ensures plenty of storage to the airy cabin, this car’s design is focused on comfort and usability. For convenience purposes, the Blazer EV is engineered to be drivable upon sitting, eliminating the need for a start button.
The additional trim-specific details are great as well, such as the front bar light on the RS trim that illuminates when you approach the car from the front.
4. It Is Efficient
The Blazer EV has an EPA-estimated efficiency of 103/88/96 mpg-equivalent city/highway/combined and a range of 279 miles when fully charged. Chevy estimates that the Blazer EV can add up to 78 miles of range after 10 minutes of charging at a DC fast charging station.
