7 Reasons to Consider the 2024 Blazer EV

Three trims. 615 horsepower at the top. Up to 312 miles of range at the bottom. The 2026 Blazer EV covers more ground — literally and figuratively — than any Chevy EV before it. If you've been considering an electric midsize SUV, these are the seven things worth understanding first.

Most electric SUVs look like they were designed by a committee trying not to offend anyone. The Blazer EV takes a different approach — sharp body lines, a wide aggressive stance, a sporty front and rear fascia, and an illuminated Chevy bowtie emblem that lights up as you approach. Available walk-up lighting makes the entrance feel intentional rather than accidental. The RS and SS push the exterior further with blackout trim, flat-bottom steering wheels, and 22-inch wheel options.

Inside, the 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen dominates the dashboard in a way that makes competitors look dated. The SS gets the full Adrenaline Red interior treatment — red leatherette seating, red stitching, and ambient lighting you can adjust to match whatever mood Columbus rush hour has put you in.

Electric motors produce their full torque instantly — from a dead stop — which is why even the base LT feels quicker than its 220-horsepower rating implies on paper. No transmission shifts, no turbo lag, no waiting. Press the accelerator on a highway on-ramp and the Blazer EV responds the same way every time, at any speed, in any weather.

The most common objection to buying an EV is range. The 2026 Blazer EV LT and RS FWD answer that objection with 312 miles of EPA-estimated range — enough to drive from Columbus to Chicago with one stop, or to get through a full Central Ohio work week without ever plugging in at a public station. The average American drives about 37 miles per day. The Blazer EV LT does that more than eight times on a single charge.

The SS is tuned for performance over maximum range at 302 miles — still more than enough for all-day driving. Even the AWD RS, at 283 miles, comfortably outpaces the average weekly mileage of most Columbus households.

The 2026 Blazer EV ships with a dual-level charge cord standard — a meaningful upgrade from 2024, when it was an optional add-on. That cord handles both 120V household outlets (Level 1) and 240V outlets (Level 2) without any additional hardware. Most Blazer EV owners charge at home overnight on a Level 2 setup and wake up to a full battery every morning, never thinking about a charging station.

The 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen is the largest in its class — standard on every Blazer EV trim including the base LT. Paired with an 11-inch driver information display, Google built-in (Maps, Assistant, Play), wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, the tech stack in the Blazer EV sets a benchmark most gas-powered SUVs at this price can't match. Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance on the RS AWD and SS adds highway driving confidence for Columbus-to-Cleveland or Columbus-to-Cincinnati runs.

The financial case for the Blazer EV runs deeper than skipping the gas pump. Electric motors have far fewer moving parts than combustion engines — no oil to change, no transmission fluid, no timing belts, no spark plugs. Routine maintenance is dramatically simpler and less frequent than any gas SUV in the same price range. Add a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible buyers, and the real purchase price on the LT can drop to well under $40,000.

Chevrolet's Super Sport badge has appeared on the Camaro, the Chevelle, the Impala, and the Corvette. Now it's on an electric midsize SUV — and it earns the badge. The 2026 Blazer EV SS with WOW mode active delivers 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque through its standard dual-motor AWD system. That's the kind of output you used to need a Camaro ZL1 to access.

The SS also adds 22-inch machined-face wheels, standard Bose audio, the Adrenaline Red interior, Super Cruise, and a 102-kWh battery pack capable of 190 kW DC fast charging — the fastest in the Blazer EV lineup. The Tech Bronze Appearance Package is available if you want to stand out further with bronze-finish 22-inch wheels and black exterior decals.

For a vehicle that costs roughly $60,700 and seats five people with SUV cargo space, the SS is among the most performance-per-dollar propositions in the EV market. It's not a performance car compromise that happens to be electric. It's a midsize SUV that happens to be faster than most sports cars when you want it to be.
