In conjunction with this proclamation, GM has also disclosed an array of thrilling updates concerning the Blazer EV, providing enthusiasts and prospective buyers with additional insights into the vehicle’s specifications and offerings. Among the key revelations, GM has shared precise pricing particulars, validated certain EPA range ratings, and clarified the timeline for the high-performance SS variant, which is now scheduled for release next year.

Delving into the specifics, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV will be unveiled in three distinctive trims: LT, RS, and SS, each tailored to diverse preferences. The lineup encompasses an array of drivetrain alternatives, including front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive configurations, designed to cater to various driving requirements. Additionally, the Blazer EV will be offered with three distinct battery pack options, providing customers the flexibility to opt for the power and range that aligns with their needs.

GM has also shared efficiency and range estimates. The single-motor front-wheel-drive 2LT models, equipped with a midsize battery, are projected to attain an EPA-cycle range of 293 miles, as estimated by GM. On the flip side, the sportier RS variant, featuring rear-wheel drive and the largest battery pack, boasts an impressive projected range of 320 miles, according to GM’s calculations. Moreover, the EPA has formally certified that all-wheel-drive versions of the Blazer EV 2LT and RS models will cover an estimated 279 miles on a full charge.
