General Motors has ended the stop-sale on the Chevy Blazer EV after addressing software quality issues, with the electric SUV now starting at just over $50,000 and qualifying for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.

GM has announced that the Chevy Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq will temporarily lose eligibility for the EV tax credit starting January 1 due to minor components. However, all other EVs under the price cap will still qualify. GM expects the Blazer EV and Lyriq to regain eligibility in early 2024. Similar announcements have been made by Ford regarding the Mustang Mach-E and by Tesla regarding certain Model 3 variants. The changes come as more restrictions on eligibility for the tax credit are set to go into effect in 2022 and 2025.
The Chevrolet Blazer EV, an all-electric SUV, is a critical test for General Motors and its Ultium platform. The Blazer EV impresses with its exterior design, interior touches, user interface, and driving experience. However, the higher-than-expected price tag, starting at $56,715, makes it too expensive for what it offers. The Blazer EV offers a wide range of configurations, which Chevrolet sees as a competitive advantage, but it remains to be seen if consumers will be overwhelmed by the choices. The vehicle's exterior design stands out without looking like a novelty car, and the cabin is spacious and well-designed. The large touchscreen and the Ultifi software platform provide a good user experience, although there were some issues with software bugs. Overall, the Blazer EV has its strengths but falls short in terms of pricing and certain performance aspects.
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer electric vehicle (EV) is poised to become a popular choice in the EV market, offering up to 324 miles of driving range and a variety of drivetrains. Despite General Motors' previous delays in delivering EVs, the Blazer EV is already being delivered to customers, with hundreds in their hands and available inventory at dealerships. The Blazer EV is easy and enjoyable to drive, with a smooth and quiet ride, spacious cabin, and advanced infotainment system. With its range of trim levels and pricing, the Blazer EV aims to compete with other midsize SUV EVs like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Tesla Model Y and Model X.

The Blazer EV is a mid-size electric SUV with a sleek design and three trim levels. It offers different drivetrain and battery options, with DC charge speeds of 150kW and 190kW, providing a gain of approximately 69-78 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. The Blazer EV's new Google-based UI has received positive reviews, offering a well-laid-out interface with customization options and the ability to download apps. However, some reviewers noted a laggy throttle response and slower acceleration compared to other EVs. The Blazer EV is priced at $56,715 for the base model, and while it offers a good driving experience and ample cargo space, its higher price point raises questions in comparison to other electric SUVs on the market.
Chevy's Blazer EV, an all-wheel-drive electric SUV, will now cost buyers more than originally announced, with the RS trim priced at $60,215, up from $51,995.

Chevy plans to release higher-end versions and variants with different features and ranges. With the Blazer EV, Chevy aims to offer an attainable electric SUV as it shares the same Ultium EV platform as its future Bolt and other upcoming EVs.
