Using an all-electric powertrain makes the Chevrolet Blazer EV an exciting SUV option for many Summerfield, FL, buyers. It offers an excellent range, especially compared to many competing vehicles. Likewise, it has an impressive charging system. Here is a closer look at the Blazer EV's range statistics and charging capabilities.
How Far Does the Blazer EV Go on a Single Charge?
The main differences in the single-charge driving range of the Blazer EV boil down to differences in the battery pack and the drivetrain. If you buy the LT trim, an all-wheel drive with an 85-kWh battery, you can expect a maximum driving range of 279 miles. The RS trim performs better because it operates as a rear-wheel drive and employs a 102-kWh battery. It achieves a peak maximum driving range of 324 miles. There is also an AWD version, but it will sacrifice some range.
Also, the highest trims, the RS and SS, are even more performance-oriented than the lower trims. While they employ the 102-kWh battery, they also tend to deliver more torque. Consequently, you should expect reduced driving range, especially if you use most of the vehicle's power. Also, Chevy does not recommend the top trims for towing.Charging
When using a 240-volt SAE Combo fast-charging port, the Blazer EV can take 9.5 hours to recharge from full depletion to 100 percent. Charging time from 20 to 80 percent is relatively short, usually under an hour. The SAE Combo is a Level 2 charger compatible with most of the widely available networks in the U.S.A. of 324 miles. There is also an AWD version, and it will sacrifice some range.
Notably, the Blazer EV has decent trailering capacity for a compact performance-focused SUV. It can tow up to 1,500 pounds. The EV driving ranges do not factor in the expected reduction in efficiency that comes from towing a fully loaded trailer.
