Chevrolet has been selling electrified vehicles for many years now, but its newest model, the 2024 Blazer EV, is something a little different. Using GM’s Ultium battery system, it’s the model the brand hopes will start to drive Americans into seeing mass-market all-electric vehicles as a reasonable alternative to gas-powered models. And while we had a chance to drive one when it first came out, a slowed introduction and rollout due to software and manufacturing issues meant there weren’t many on the roads until now — and the ones on the roads generally had issues.
No longer, however. Chevrolet seems to have ironed out any software bugs and assembly glitches, and the Blazer EV now is flowing out onto dealer lots in volume — which also means we finally got to spend a week behind the wheel of a sporty RS-trimmed model. Cars.com Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman drove it all over southeastern Michigan and came away with some definite thoughts on how Chevy’s first big competitor in the mid-size electric SUV category performs, including one aspect that might legitimately be a deal killer for a lot of prospective customers.
