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 (eAWD); either way, at the heart of each Chevrolet Blazer EV is 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.
With its near-instant acceleration and torque, the Blazer EV will put more pep in your step and is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Starting with the base LT trim, you’ll gain 288 horsepower. The top-ranging SS performance trim generates a beastly 557 horsepower and 648 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to reach 60 MPH in under four seconds—talk about having power to get up and go!

Obviously, the Chevrolet Blazer EV has got the goods. As you’ll see from 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 offers 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 eight paint colors; stick with a classic shade like Summit White or Black, or go big and bold with one of these hues, among others:
- Red Hot
- Riptide Blue Metallic
- Galaxy Gray Metallic
- Radiant Red Tintcoat
You can even select 2-tone variations that pair one of those body colors with a black 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 front bucket seats trimmed in 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.

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.
