"Is the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV Worth the Price? A First Drive Review"

General Motors has released the Chevy Blazer EV, its first electric vehicle (EV) based on the Ultium battery technology. 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.

GM pulls the plug on Chevy Bolt EV.

General Motors will end production of the Chevrolet Bolt, the least expensive electric vehicle (EV) in the US, by the end of 2021 to make room for larger and more profitable EV trucks. The Bolt's demise comes as the EV market is transitioning from one or two models per automaker to a full slate of vehicles at many price points. GM's decision to discontinue the Bolt has drawn mixed reactions, with some saying it's premature while others see it as fitting as the automaker prepares for an onslaught of new models.
