Production of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is currently under way, and as a result, GM has contacted reservation holders of the all-electric crossover to start the order process for their vehicles.
However, availability of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV varies by trim level, with some of the three trims – 2LT, RS, and SS – currently unavailable as choices for reservation holders.
Specifically, only the 2LT AWD and RS AWD trim levels of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV are currently being built at the moment for reservation holders. The RS RWD can be “indicated” as an order request, but not submitted as an order.
Since there will be no 1LT trim level as originally announced, those who reserved a 1LT will need to choose a different trim instead. Those who reserved an SS trim Blazer EV can choose to either wait for an indefinite time for the Chevy Blazer EV SS to become available in the future, or change their order to either a 2LT or an RS.
Notably, both the 2LT and RS trim levels of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV are currently being built with mandatory option packages included. At least initially, the Convenience and Driver Confidence package (RPO code WPN) and Comfort and Convenience package (RPO code ZFT) will be forced choices on the 2LT AWD trim level of the Blazer, increasing its base price to $56,715 from its actual $53,195 base MSRP.
Similarly, first production RS AWD includes the Convenience and Driver Confidence package (RPO code ZL5) as a mandatory option. This raises its base MSRP from the actual $57,595 to the $60,215 price at which GM will fulfill the initial orders.
It’s currently unclear if the announced pricing for the RS RWD, which pegs the trim and drivetrain combination at a base $61,790, includes the Convenience and Driver Confidence package (RPO code ZL5) or if it is the trim’s actual base price. As a reminder, RS RWD vehicles can be “indicated” as an order request, but not submitted as an order at this time.
The only non-mandatory factory option currently available for the initial orders for the Chevy Blazer EV by reservation holders is the Power Panoramic Dual-Panel Sunroof (RPO code CAJ), optional on the 2LT AWD only for an additional charge of $1,500.
Debuted last year as an all-electric, brand-new take on the familiar Chevy nameplate, the Chevy Blazer EV has an official estimated energy efficiency rating of 279 miles of range per charge for the currently available trim levels. Charging time when using a 240V source is 9.5 hours.
All 2024 Chevy Blazer EV trims and configurations ride on the GM BEV3 platform while featuring GM Ultium battery tech and GM Ultium Drive motors for motivation.
The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV 2LT AWD and RS AWD are the first two variants to roll off the production line at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.

Unveiled on July 22, 2022 (13+ months ago) and still not available to buy at this time. It’s old news already. So stupid to unveil it so early. That’s GM. Don’t buy the stuff we have today, wait for the stuff that is years away.
For anyone saying that this vehicle is more expensive that the Tesla Model Y, well, duh. It’s a size class larger than the Tesla Model Y. It’s direct competitor from Tesla is the Tesla Model X, which is much more expensive.
The Blazer RS RWD (at least) should have significantly better range than a Model Y LR too. Model Y will max out around 275 miles at 70 MPH. State of Charge on YouTube got 330 miles from a RWD LYRIQ at 70 MPH. The Blazer RS RWD should go at least that far.
Bonus, you don’t have to see that ugly Y in your garage. How people can stand looking at that thing (and the X and 3) everytime they approach it to get in is beyond me.
That’s because you never own one.
Once you driven it, then you why people embrace it.
It’s tech, good charging. But yes, there’s compromise.
The look is obviously very common when there are more on the roads.
I think my Mach-E is one of the best looking cars on the road. Chose it over the Y mainly because of that
Problem is the price. They had said the RWD will be more expensive than the AWd rs. The AWD is pretty darn out of model Y price.
Sorry, but this is NOT an X or even Model Y contender. Even though its slightly bigger 192″ (and 900 lbs heavier – 5335 lbs) than the Model Y LR (187″), it has much less cargo room 59.1 cubic ft vs Model Y 76.2 (not even counting the 4.1 frunk), has no 7 seat option, and the made in Mexico Blazer can only tow 1500 lbs vs 3500 and yet the RS AWD costs nearly $10k more. There’s no comparison on range and charging speed – the Y wins handily and is significantly less expensive. There will be a market for this nice looking BEV, especially vs current inferior legacy OEM offerings (Toyota/VW), but it won’t make a dent in Tesla sales. While there is an army of Tesla/Elon haters, most are not BEV aficionados and aren’t willing to drop $60k on this. At these prices, this will struggle to gain traction when the similar Lyriq is nearly the same price with more options available. I’m willing to bet they sell a few hundred in 2023 and maybe 12k in total in 2024 unless they drop prices 10-15k. GM would have been better served making the Blazer an actual off road (ICE) Bronco/Wrangler fighter and fast tracking the less expensive Equinox EV.
Very well said.
And look up Edmunds/Consumer reviews on Lyriq….NOT GOOD!
Well based on history it seems I bet the Equinox will not keep its price either. Time will tell.
At this price, only early adopters can stomach this much because it’s so close to the Lyriq. I will pick the Tesla Y over this any day since it has a proven record now that it has mostly fixed early issues. The Blazer EV has not even been reviewed yet.
It’s basically already been reviewed. The automotive press by large likes the LyriQ and this is the just the Chevy version. Plus this is larger than the Y. But, it’s your cash, vote with your wallet. Both are great.
you funny, it’s not the same car.
Motor less powerful, no supercruise, less battery.
Finish is different. So, no, it’s not the same car, but hey, they share the same platform.
Except the SS does have SuperCruise
It has supercruise and just as powerful. Not getting your point. Just stated the platform has been tested.
I’m interested to learn how much room this has behind the second row, the “cargo area” of a ICE Equinox vs. ICE Blazer isn’t that much (different), and from the pictures, it looks like this has less room than its ICE Blazer counterpart. Anyone see the cargo area of the Lyriq?…
Will be good to “see the numbers” and compare to other models.
RS AWD:
Cargo capacity, all seats in place 25.5 cu.ft. Maximum cargo capacity 59.1 cu.ft.
Blazer (ICE)
Cargo capacity, all seats in place 30.5 cu.ft. Maximum cargo capacity 64.2 cu.ft.
LYRIC
Cargo capacity, all seats in place 28.0 cu.ft. Maximum cargo capacity 60.8 cu.ft.
Model Y LR:
Cargo capacity, all seats in place 34.3 cu.ft. Maximum cargo capacity 76.2 cu.ft.
The only “order” I will be placing is my visit to my local Chevy dealer to get my $100 deposit back.
My dealer has been pestering me to get my order in, NOW, “before the rush”…sorry, no rush for me.
I had my eyes on the RS from day one at 52k. We all know, a few weeks ago, they announced the
MAJOR price bump. Like others here….it’s just not worth 60k while every other electric offering out
there has a softer price. I watched the value of my EV6 plummet after purchase last year. While it is
an excellent EV (!) I had my sights on the Blazer because I thought it might better serve my family.
For me, it’s just not worth the move now. I am also concerned about it holding its value, because the
Lyriq, on the same platform is getting poor consumer reviews.
I would pass on this to show GM it’s not cool to yank our chains! And, the EV Blazer is still MIA here in the Bay Area.
Nothing to see or touch! Blind faith? I don’t think so.
I monitor the FB lyriq group. Obviously, the owner want to love the car. And most of the post surely are problem post.
Like dead 12V after a OTA.
Other OEM has this problem.
It’s over 14months. No drivable tester is still beyond me
You can order one but a stop delivery has already been issued so don’t be in a hurry to get it yet.
Ripoff. No way am I spending 60k on one of these when GM said the cost would be 47k. Nice bait and switch. I have cancelled my reservation. Spoke with my dealership and they have not seen any orders come in from GM reservations. Ha…nobody wants this car at this price.
