2024 Chevy Blazer EV Pricing, Availability Details Updated

View Comments

• For 56k even with tax credits, I’d rather buy a Camaro SS….should only be 10k for an EV.

• Cheapest 2024 Blazer AWD with gas engine (the useful version) sells for $39,495 including destination charge. It also has a theoretical 585 mile driving range at 27 MPG highway rating with a 21.7 gallon fuel capacity.

  Please tell me again why a person with a brain would want to spend $17,220 MORE for a 2LT AWD Blazer EV with a theoretical driving range of 279 miles? Even with the $7500 hand-out paid by those of us who remain skeptical, you still pay $9720 more for the equivalent EV version. LOL.

  EV ain't got no reason to live. LUDICROUS.

  • The Blazer EV and the Blazer are not the same vehicles. The Blazer EV has an entirely different chassis that makes it a much larger vehicle than the ICE Blazer. You're comparing apples to oranges.

    • The Blazer EV has smaller interior dimensions than the normal Blazer. Strangely, it has a much longer wheelbase. But... where it counts, it is less roomy. So yes, I will give you apples and oranges... both vehicles are called Chevrolet Blazers.

      • Interior dimensions are not yet published by GM. Where do you get that it has "smaller interior dimensions" as this contradicts the opposite being stated by Motortrend magazine which said that the EV variant actually has more interior space?

        • It took a lot of digging. Most sites are simply quoting the gas Blazer's interior dimensions/capacities and passing them off as the EV, we know that's not true. After digging, it was also determined the Equinox EV is smaller inside than the current gas version as well.

  • Remember your uhum gas price is a handout too with our tax dollar write-offs for every drop they drill for!

  • No air pollution. You will save thousands of $ on gas a year , no oil changes , more money saved and a lot lest maintenance , so what you pay extra will return 3 years down the road. In Quebec Canada , you can get recondition batteries for about 2000$. Also , before you do need batteries , you might of traded it in ! Do not believe all the bull.... that comes out of oil companies propaganda!

    • The $10K premium is literally 50,000 miles worth of gasoline. Assuming 300 miles of EV range, that is approximately 170 full recharges. The battery is 102kwh, so 170 recharges is 17,340kw. At the average USA home rate of $0.23 per kwh, that is $4,000 over the course of 50,000 miles to charge (using a public charger will add to that significantly.) So I pay $10,000 more upfront, plus another $4,000+ to charge over that 50,000 miles. So it takes me three to four years to break even and then start saving $1300-$1500/yr with electricity vs gas. Then another 5-6 years to actually recover that initial $10,000. That's hardly worth the time and inconvenience of dealing with charging an EV.

      Just like everything else, the "green movement" is a business. There are a lot of business endeavors banking on going green, and the EV movement is just another offshoot of that. Until these EVs can go 500-600 miles on a charge, recharge fully in 20 minutes with minimal battery degradation, and aren't severely impacted by cold weather use, they are not a viable option for a whole lot of people.

  • I just traded in our 2022 Blazer AWD with the 2.0L. On its last trip from Boston to Michigan (about 950 miles), I only needed to stop and fill it up once (after about 530 miles). Was not disappointed in its highway performance, but the wife ran the miles up on her lease and I had to turn it in early. When I filled it up in New York, the dash gave me an estimated 630 miles of range. But, you can get a Blazer EV that only has around 300 miles of range before you have to stop and charge? Why would anyone want to spend $10,000 more for a vehicle that will get 200 miles less per tank on the highway (in ideal conditions of course)??

    • Fast charge stations , take 10 to 12 minutes to charge to 85%. It will also cost you a quarter of the price, maximum , to fill up. If you drove 530 miles without stopping once, you have one heck of a good bladder. lol

      • paying gas versus the simplicity charging at home,
        I spend more time doing errand, and travel to work than actually spending all your time on the highway.
        If you are not ready for an EV, you aren't.

    • If you are driving more than 4 hours without stopping you are dehydrated and risking DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

      • So you're saying the Blazer EV has no cupholders? So you're saying ICE Blazer customers don't DESERVE the convenience of double the driving range over the EV version?

  • @ocnblu
    I agree that GM really dropped the ball with their BEV's
    A Blazer Dual Motor is not worth an extra $17,000 dollars. This vehicle should have started at 49K at the most.

    This price to me proved two things.....
    One: GM cannot scale up their BEV Production (which is a problem)
    Two: GM made the decision to keep the Blazer EV as a very low production vehicle because they cannot make money on BEV's yet because they cannot figure out how to scale.

    Very concerning as a GM fan and shareholder.
    Very concerning if you are a GM line worker as well. They will unfortunately most likely start cutting jobs because they are clueless on how to mass produce BEV's
    They will need all the money they can get to try and catch up.

    I hate to say this but lets not forget that GM makes a ton of money from China market and right now they are struggling there as well.....as most Legacy automakers are. They cannot scale BEV's and do not have great BEV's to offer in their market. Legacy thought they could just shove batteries on ICE Platforms and call it a day. They are finding out the hard way that Does not nor will it ever work.
    GM had the right idea make BEV specific Platforms from the ground up but cannot mass produce them. Huge Issue

    For reference on how out of touch GM's price decision on the BEV Blazer......
    Tesla Model Y (Performance) starts at $44,500

    • So true. GM's insistence on sticking with packs and LG Chem will keep them battery constrained for years. Unlike prismatic or cylindrical cells which are readily available and much more scalable, packs remain more challenging to scale. GM sent a team to help their partners get the equipment that makes the battery packs up and running months ago and they are still assembling packs by hand. And the clock is ticking as their window of opportunity provided by the IRA is closing as transplants complete their BEV factories in the US, providing them the same $7500 advantage. Lost opportunities for GM. Yes the packs are slightly more energy dense, but when you add the weight of the steel casing, the kWh/lb is less. GM in China uses cylindrical cells.

      • @mvb
        I have been saying that GM needs to move away from pouch batteries and into Cylindrical ones ASAP.

  • If I could afford it, I would buy a Blazer RS EV. We already knew more or less the prices for the new Blazer EV, they were never going to be cheap. Good thing GM has a good range of upcoming ICE crossovers to select from.

  • Maybe they don't want to see the planet go up in flames, that's why.

• EVs are set to crash. GM screwed the pooch believing they could skip hybrids - especially in the truck and full size SUV space

  • They really did . I wonder if they will ask for bailout in 5 years again.

  • @mikeRR
    Hey how are sales for ICE going for GM in China or any other Automaker over there?
    VW is literally Crapping their pants over there. They cannot give their ICE vehicles away.
    China is the biggest market.

    Maybe if GM could figure out how to scale their BEV's once and for all they could start making money.
    Someone let Tesla in the secret that BEV's will die as they cannot build Gigafactories fast enough to meet Demand.

    GM better figure out how to scale production and do so ASAP or many workers in the future will lose their jobs due to incompetent leadership that couldn't make the vital pivot.

    Disruptive tech always wins out....for Legacy Auto it is just a question of just how fast will it happen?

    • They will lose workers to their competitors who are still making ice , hybrids . Even worse , you can’t delivery products without workforce .

• So they are going to start taking orders in August. Big deal. What I really want to know is, when will they start shipping product to dealers?

  • They are already shipping to dealers.

    • Kind of. Every EV-compliant dealer has two "demo" models being shipped to them, some are already in-transit and will be arriving this month. Retail ordering has not opened, however, so we cannot place orders for customer vehicles yet. If they started accepting retail orders this month, the very first customer orders wouldn't start arriving until at least October assuming normal production timeline and no significant delays.

• Why so much hate for this BEV, GM has no choice but to make these and increase fleet CAFE averages to avoid escalating fines. If you don't like it, buy the ICE version. This is the most compelling BEV GM is introducing as far as features, range, charging and price.

  • Funny thing is how they’re all adoring the ICE Blazer here but in any Blazer ICE thread, they’ll hate on that just as much.

    Reality is so many will simply complain about everything GM does unless it has 600 horsepower and is gas guzzling. But then they still won’t buy it. They only want to buy a unicorn that GM won’t build because it can’t make a business case for production.

    • Disagree GM has good products here . Their turbo diesel durmax is thing a beauty to tow with . Their trax is car /suv with style that your common man can afford . They have good products but they have ton of ton flaws that is hard to overlook. The blazer in general went the wrong way all together . They should of made bronco equivalent but they haven’t . They tried to head to head with mach e instead . They no longer want fight against the regular mustang anymore. They don’t really have racing history of ford does. Their leadership and the direction they are going in general is the problem. If they don’t see why ice and hybrids is still needed . They will be asking for another bailout.

  • Ummmm GM could of invested in Hybrids if they didn’t want the CAFE fines. But they ditch them, promoted gas guzzling Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles and turbo 4 bangers like the 2.7L.
    GM made the bed. Now they can lay in it and enjoy the CAFE fines.

• Starting at $56,700.

  No thanks.

• So a Blazer RS AWD is $60,215 with 279 mile Est. range, but a LYRIQ Tech AWD is $62,090 and 307 mile EPA range?

  Hmmm…

  • The lyriq has a bigger battery. But yes, it's kinda stepping on their own,
    Blazer looks better (and the tech is skim down), i doubt people will order that trim.
    They mostly will order luxury 1 and up.

    • The tech trim is being dropped so no one will have to make that comparison. You'll soon see fewer trims for the Blazer EV too.

• Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra at her best. Charging $60,000 for an EV 90% of the public cannot afford. I hope nobody buys this extremely overpriced EV.

• Evs are dropping prices nearly every quarter I’d be skeptical if it lands at 56k. Also I might be the only one but this is a fugly design

• 56k at 276 range is crazy starting point that is not sustainable . If the plan do have limited orders this will work
