Marking a groundbreaking leap towards a sustainable automotive future, the much-anticipated 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV has finally graced the US market. Built on General Motors’ (GM’s) cutting-edge Ultium platform, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV is a symbol of innovation and eco-conscious driving, capable of redefining the driving experience. Originally announced in mid-2022, the final offering has seen a notable transformation. The initial $45,000 entry-level version has undergone revision, and the pricing has adjusted accordingly. In spite of the slight delay in its market debut, the Chevrolet Blazer EV has now proudly entered the market.

The Blazer EV, which is being produced at GM's Ramos Arizpe factory in Mexico, is available in three distinct versions, with each catering to prospective buyers’ diverse preferences. The entry-level all-wheel drive (eAWD) comes equipped with an 85-kWh battery, a rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant with a more robust 102-kWh battery, and an eagerly awaited performance version flaunting a powerful pAWD powertrain paired with a 102-kWh battery. The EV with pAWD system will enter the market in the spring of 2024. Adding a touch of personalization, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV offers three trim levels, viz. LT, RS, and SS.

GM, championing versatility, credits its Ultium platform for the Chevrolet Blazer EV. This technology allows the creation of FWD, RWD, and AWD configurations, each with distinct power outputs and battery capacities.

When it comes to range, the EPA Combined range for the Blazer EV LT/RS eAWD models stands at 279 miles. The RS RWD version, which is yet to be listed on the EPA website, is estimated to get rated at 324 miles. The top-tier SS version is slightly lower at 294 miles, but it compensates with a dual-motor powertrain delivering an impressive 0-60 mph acceleration in under 4 seconds.

The pricing announced for the ne EV also carries its own appeal. The entry-level LT trim, which comes equipped with eAWD and an 85-kWh battery, starting at $55,320 (plus a $1,395 destination charge). Thus, its effective price totals at $56,715. Moving up the ladder, the RS trim with the same battery and powertrain starts at $58,820, and it soars to $60,215 with the inclusion of the destination charge. Meanwhile, the RS variant with a bigger 102-kWh battery and RWD powertrain comes in at $60,395, with the destination charge pushing the total to $61,790.

It is important to note that all the three aforementioned configurations are eligible for the federal government’s $7,500 tax credit, which potentially reduced the EV’s effective price to as low as $49,215 and $54,290 for the LT and RS RWD variants, respectively.
