CHEVY BLAZER EV AWD NEEDS A BIGGER BATTERY! 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST IN THE LOWEST RANGE VARIANT

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV LT AWD, equipped with 21-inch wheels, delivers a disappointing 248 miles of range in a 70 mph highway test, falling short of its EPA estimate and tying with less expensive competitors like the VW ID.4. While the reviewer praises the Super Cruise system for its natural and comfortable operation, the vehicle's efficiency is criticized as poor, achieving only 2.7 miles per kWh. This result is considered unimpressive, especially given the vehicle's starting price around $47,000, which can climb to $56,000 with options. A notable issue encountered was the vehicle's inability to restart after running the battery completely dead, requiring a charge to 7% before it would power back on, a recurring problem with GM EVs. Overall, the Blazer EV AWD is presented as a vehicle with a significant range and efficiency deficit relative to its cost and competition.
