For the new car shopper ready to switch to an electric vehicle (EV) without sacrificing style or excitement, the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV offers a muscular, highly flexible choice. Built on GM’s dedicated Ultium EV platform, it blends the aggressive looks of the gasoline Blazer with cutting-edge electric technology. Starting MSRP for the entry-level LT trim is around $44,600.
Versatile Performance and Impressive Range A key differentiator for the Blazer EV is its broad range of powertrain options, allowing shoppers to choose based on their priorities:
Range Leader (LT/RS FWD): The most efficient setup, with Front-Wheel Drive (FWD), achieves the highest estimated range of up to 312 miles on a full charge.
Balanced All-Weather (LT/RS AWD): Adding All-Wheel Drive (AWD) drops the range slightly to an estimated 283 miles but significantly boosts traction.
Pure Performance (SS AWD): The range-topping SS trim delivers an exhilarating 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque using its powerful dual motors. This model can rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds using the Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode, and offers an estimated 302 miles of range.
Charging and Efficiency The Blazer EV supports flexible charging, including Level 2 (240V) home charging, which can recharge the battery overnight in about 9.5 hours. For road trips, it's capable of high-speed DC fast charging, enabling a quick top-up (e.g., 10% to 90% in under an hour). Energy-saving features like One Pedal Driving and Regen on Demand help maximize the distance between charges.
Tech-Forward Cabin The interior is dominated by two large, integrated screens: an 11-inch digital driver display and a massive, driver-canted 17.7-inch central touchscreen that utilizes Google built-in software. Standard features include the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver aids and available Super Cruise, GM’s highly rated hands-free driving system, perfect for reducing fatigue on compatible highways.
The Blazer EV provides a spacious environment for five passengers and offers decent utility, with 25.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, expanding to 59.1 cubic feet when the seats are folded. The 2026 Blazer EV is an excellent choice for the shopper who wants an EV that is both practical for daily use and thrilling to drive.
