The Blazer EV is a perfectly fine vehicle, but wow this whole thing reads like a GM press release. Just a really bad look for MotorTrend. They compare it to the Porsche Taycan, BMW iX, Jaguar I-Pace, and Lucid Air in in the intro to make it sound “democratized”. But when it comes to charging speed suddenly it can only be compared to the Chevy Bolt (never mind that the pricetag more than doubled). And when it comes to “value”, they basically justify it by adding every expensive option to the cheaper alternatives.
If you’re a buyer with a $60K+ budget, you already have some great options available. The Blazer will find its niche, but it’s nothing game-changing.
