Say goodbye to spending time and money at the pump with this gas-free SUV. Wonder if the Blazer EV has what it takes to go wherever, whenever you want? Rest assured, you’ll still have plenty of power and be able to explore without limits—minus the lingering odor of gasoline fumes.
Depending on the trim you choose, the Blazer EV offers rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD); either way, at the heart of each Chevrolet Blazer EV is an electric propulsion system with an Ultium propulsion battery. This provides flexibility in range, performance, and charging speeds, ensuring you can get where you want to go on your schedule.
Plus, since it’s a ZEV (zero emission vehicle), you can feel good about doing your part for the environment.
Of course, you want to know that you can venture freely in an electric vehicle—thanks to the Blazer EV’s superb engineering, you can. Regen on Demand™ captures braking energy and stores it in the battery for later use. As a result, you’ll enjoy up to an EPA-estimated 103 city/88 hwy MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and up to an EPA-estimated 334-mile electric range.
Easily charge your Blazer EV at home by plugging into a standard 120-volt 3-prong outlet or a 240-volt outlet for up to 58 miles per hour of charge. With more than 231,000 available public chargers across North America (easily located via the myChevrolet Mobile App), any road trip is possible in the Chevrolet Blazer EV. Using a DC fast charger, you can add up to 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes. Keep calm and venture on!
As the Chevrolet Blazer EV has made inroads with cutting-edge engineering, it follows that it also equips state-of-the-art infotainment and safety systems. With a wide variety of innovative technologies, the Blazer EV helps you remain both connected and protected.
Easily pair your mobile phone to the infotainment system in the Blazer EV with Bluetooth® and Natural Voice Recognition to enjoy hands-free phone calls and streaming capability. You’ll access your apps, maps, music, navigation, and more on the standard 17.7-inch LCD touchscreen with Google built-in.
Additional standard connective and convenience technologies include:
- Wireless charging
- Wi-Fi® hotspot capability
- USB data and charging ports

You and your crew may find reasons to take the scenic route—and with the myChevrolet mobile app tracking nearby charging stations, you can!
Chevrolet prides itself on taking your safety nearly as seriously as you do. In the Blazer EV, you’ll benefit from an extra layer of protection thanks to Chevrolet Safety Assist, a standard suite of six advanced systems:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Following Distance Indicator
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam® auto high beams
Want to make sure long road trips are even more comfortable when you’re at the helm? Under proper conditions, available Super Cruise® driver assistance technology helps ensure safe, hands-free driving on over 240 million miles of compatible roads.
Obviously, the Chevrolet Blazer EV has got the goods. As you’ll see from the very first glance, it also has got the good looks. Still, this is not just your parents’ gas-powered Blazer outfitted with an electrical system. It features a distinctive body and will offer three trims—LT, RS, and SS—so you can select the one that best suits your needs.
The Chevrolet Blazer EV is differentiated by its athletic stance and exterior style. Make a statement and turn heads when you choose from its palette of six paint colors; stick with a classic shade like Summit White or Black, or go big and bold with one of these hues, among others:
- Radiant Red Tintcoat
- Riptide Blue Metallic
- Galaxy Gray Metallic
You can even select 2-tone variations that pair one of those body colors with a Black or Summit White roof. Plus, you can opt for 21-inch machined aluminum wheels with Black painted pockets, satin finish roof rails, and more. That’s just the beginning of the customization options to make your Blazer EV truly yours.
The sporty exterior design continues when you enter the spacious cabin of the Chevrolet Blazer EV. You’ll sink into cozy seats trimmed in cloth or perforated suede and Evotex that’s as supple as it is durable and easy to clean. Certain trims offer a 2-tone interior color story for drivers who prefer a race-inspired scheme—you can even choose a flat-bottomed steering wheel to help you speed down the highway.
No matter where they’re seated, adult passengers will have room to spread out and get comfortable. Plus, there will be plenty of space for everyone’s essentials.

Use the 60/40 split fold-flat rear seat to open additional cargo space and easily access your gear with the available AutoSense power liftgate.
With electric vehicles becoming increasingly more popular, many manufacturers are pushing the envelope to see how far they can extend their reach. The Nissan Ariya promises a “future of thrill.” Looking at the aspects that truly define an EV’s thrilling performance—horsepower, range, and acceleration—it’s apparent: With the Chevrolet Blazer EV, the future is now.**

As the driver, comfort is important to your overall enjoyment behind the wheel. The Mustang Mach-E rightfully acknowledges that it’s an electrified muscle car—and muscle cars are not known for their comfort. With the Chevrolet Blazer EV, you can experience plenty of power while still having extra space and most of the comforts of home, proving that there’s more to being mighty than mere muscle.**

Tesla introduced the first all-electric vehicle, yet automakers who’ve followed their lead have made major improvements along the way. Case in point: The Chevrolet Blazer EV easily surpasses Tesla’s Model Y when it comes to at-home charging range, plus offers nearly five times as many fast chargers across North America. Chevrolet may not have been first, but the Blazer EV is ready to outlast the Model Y.**
