The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV was unveiled in Canada yesterday, expanding the Bow Tie brand’s electric vehicle portfolio in the northern country.
With an estimated driving range of 515 kilometers (320 miles) for certain models, the Chevy Blazer EV will be available in front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive configurations. Customers can choose from a variety of trim levels, including 1LT, 2LT, RS and the range-topping SS trim. There will also be a pursuit-rated Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) available for police fleets. A breakdown of powertrain specs and driving range for each trim level has yet to be announced, but Chevrolet stated that the crossover will feature a 11.5 kW Level 2 AC charging system with standard DC public fast-charging up to 190 kW, adding 125 kilometers (78 miles) of range in just 10 minutes.
The Chevy Blazer EV SS is the most powerful electric crossover in the lineup, boasting an AWD drivetrain and WOW (Wide Open Watts) mode for maximum performance. It will be capable of up to 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque, and can hustle from zero to 96 km/h in less than four seconds, GM estimates.
Each distinct trim level will carry its own unique characteristics. For example, the Chevy Blazer EV 1LT and 2LT will sport a monochromatic color scheme and 19-inch wheels as standard, while the RS trim will receive a sportier appearance with black exterior accents and 21-inch wheels. The Blazer EV RS and SS models will feature a dual-element LED exterior lighting signature that greet the driver as they approach, along with a backlit Bow Tie emblem. The SS will have its own grille treatment as well to denote its aggressive, powerful stance.
The Chevy Blazer EV will feature a 17.7-inch diagonal color touchscreen to handle infotainment and other features. The Driver Information Center in the instrument cluster will be 11 inches diagonally. A flat load floor will allow for plenty of cargo space, while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel will be standard across all trim levels. The RS and SS trims will feature ventilated front seats, along with heated rear outboard seats. GM’s Super Cruise will also be available. It’s worth noting that the Chevy Blazer EV does not feature a start button, but is instead started by closing the door and depressing the brake pedal.
The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV 2LT and RS will go on sale in mid-2023 in Canada, with starting prices of C$56,598 and C$61,298 respectively. The SS will go on sale in late 2023, with a price tag of C$80,998. The 1LT will begin selling in early 2024 for C$51,998.

Way too expensive. Do not purchase an EV and you will have lots of money left to purchase gas to fuel your ICE vehicle!!! Why the big push to EV’s? Does not look to be a money saving situation to me. And, all the mining for the product to produce batteries is done with ICE equipment. So, in my mind, EV’s cause more global warming than ICE.
You also need to consider all of the energy spent to produce ICE components, engines , and also the oil used to operate these vehicles for oil changes. There are upstream polution and costs for ICE vehicles that seem to be overlooked. Electric will save costs for many drivers , but the real push now is the polution cased by ICE vehicles.
CO2 is not a pollutant. The earth is not warming. Temperature records are being manipulated to scare you.
So the fact that the UK had it’s highest EVER temp yesterday and all kinds of video showing people all over the EU going to hospital, some dying are all false?
Back in the 90s 30,000, yes, 30 thousand people died during a heat wave in France one year. This isn’t new just because you don’t remember it happening before.
Gotta love the giant plastic grill.
Thay just need to do something with the fronts on these EV’s Tesla”s even look worse
Way too expensive in Canada. Cut some of the smutz and lower the prices to what people can afford.
A current mid trim LT Blazer lists at $49k Canadian. The EV 2LT is $56-$57 less a minimum of $5k in gov’t credits. Seems in line to me. Especially considering the extra performance, tech and fuel savings. Perhaps the Equinox EV will be more in line with your budget.
Unbelievable. I’ve been waiting for years for a RWD CUV and finally GM makes one and it’s a da** EV! No thanks.
Looks like Enclave meets Nox but, for once, Chevrolet did a great job with lighting elements. Under Simcoe Chevrolet and Buick designs have become too similar with neither going in a great direction.
Kia will keep growing!
Starts at C$51,998 with 247 miles of range. Can’t help but feel like that range is fairly standard in today’s market. For example, the Ioniq 5 58kWh RWD offers 240 miles and is C$2,400 less.
All the city’s are warning people to cut back on their electric power usage during the heat we are having . Well add a the electric cars to the problem and yes in plain language we all will be in deep S—T . Also what will all the bad batteries do for our environment? The thing that I question the most is why can’t a charging system can’t be put at each wheel of the vehicle to keep it charged while driving so it would be useful ‘ Hell I it will take two plus days just to drive across Texas with stopping to charge battery’s. ( Make for a great vacation on the road. I know this is look but just think about it .
Poorly informed comments on batteries.
Second use will extend life of high value batteries to 20-30 years. Used batteries will stabilize the grid and maximize solar and wind (renewable) energy.
Mine once for decades of function or pump and burn once with pollution???
I’m sorry what was your argument?
