Competition in the various all-electric vehicle segments continues to heat up, including in the EV crossover segment where the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV plays. In fact, two rivals to the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, the Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y, just got a price drop. Which begs the question – should the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV follow suit?
2024 Chevy Blazer EV
For those who may be unaware, GM announced 2024 Chevy Blazer EV pricing last July, with the base 1LT FWD starting at around $44,995. Meanwhile, at the top of the range, we find the SS AWD starting around $65,995:
- 1LT FWD: around $44,995
- 2LT FWD: around $47,595
- 2LT AWD: TBD
- RS FWD: around $51,995
- RS RWD: TBD
- RS AWD: TBD
- SS AWD: around $65,995
Now, however, one of the Chevy Blazer EV’s chief rivals, specifically the Mustang Mach-E, just got revised pricing, with the base Select RWD Standard Range starting at $47,495, and the range-topping GT Extended Range with the Performance Package starting at $71,495 (prices include $1,500 destination freight charge):
- Select RWD Standard Range: $47,495
- Select AWD Standard Range: $50,495
- California Route 1 AWD Extended Range: $59,495
- Premium RWD Standard Range: $52,495
- Premium AWD Standard Range: $55,495
- GT Extended Range: $65,495
- GT Extended Range with Performance Package: $71,495
Not only that, but another big rival in this space, the Tesla Model Y, recently got a price drop as well, with the Model Y Long Range AWD starting at $54,880, and the Model Y Performance AWD starting at $58,380 (prices include $1,390 destination freight charge).
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Tesla Model Y
When you break it down, the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is still more affordable than the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model Y, even without a price drop. Nevertheless, competition in this space certainly isn’t going to cool off any time soon, which could suggest that a price drop may be the right move all the same.
To note, GM did not indicate whether or not the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV pricing details announced last July include a destination freight charge. It’s also worth mentioning that the Chevy Blazer EV 1LT has a smaller batter pack compared to the other trim levels, offering an estimated 247 miles of range compared to the 290 miles to 320 miles of range announced for the other trim levels thus far.

Hoping they are not that high! Would love to trade my fully chipped 23 Blazer RS AWD for an EV.
Ford and Tesla dropped prices on two specific vehicles to adjust out large sometimes monthly increases last year. 50-60K is just not obtainable for many folks so Ford is trying to get it’s expensive Mach E under the 50K price point.
Leave the price as is, anyone willing to pay that much for this ugly plastic wind up toy deserves what they get.
