3 WORST And 10 BEST Things About The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV 

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Blazer EV or Tesla Model Y?

Real cool vid and you had your research down cold. Loved watching. Great content.

Thank you for the review. I heard they don’t have Apple CarPlay. Also, the USB is for charging only. If true, how do you listen to Apple Music or Spotify for example?

My favorite car so far of the EVs I've driven, although a bit more power would be fun. The ride and overall drive were fantastic, and the feature set and materials were impressive. The only thing I've liked nearly as much was the Kia EV9 GT-Line, and it was way more money.

The overhead camera view is great for seeing if a small plane is landing on the highway

For your info, there's no Android Auto or Apple Carplay, there's only Android Automotive which is built-in

Edmunds bought one of these EV Blazers and bricked on them, with over twenty major tech issues with the car, the local dealer had to call in two experts from GM to checkout the car for all its crazy problems. It’s best to let GM figure out these issues before buying one.

Torque just gets you tickets, a reliable car is all you need! I would stay with my Bolt EV is it wasn’t just to small! Supercruise is the major plus which I will get when I can order one!

I just got my Blazer EV 2LT and am very impressed with the range for such a heavy vehicle at 5300 lbs. The 279 miles quoted is understated compared to the overrated Tesla Model Y. My only niggle with this EV is the suspension is a bit too firm although it has nice damping and control. I wish they had an adjustment feature for the suspension like they do for the steering and brakes. Otherwise, I'm ecstatic that I was able to get one at a killer lease deal. IMO, it's the best-looking of the comparable models you mention.

You missed one of the best features!!!…the rear view mirror camera. It makes that tiny regular mirror obsolete. The view at night is incredible (at least it is in my Bolt EV-I expect the same in the Blazer EV) You can have the view blocked by people in the back or boxes, and it won’t make a difference, because your view starts from the camera out back. That being said, we tint our windows very dark here in Phoenix Arizona, and using the regular mirror at night is almost useless, but with the digital camera rear view mirror, you see perfectly, because you aren’t looking “through” the dark window tint. Not to mention you can see almost 180 degrees, so the improved safety is irreplaceable.

Is great and I enjoy it

you dont get android auto or carplay

5:53 I didn’t think the blaze had CarPlay or Android auto????

And u can also get the Cadillac lyric for only around $2,000 more🤔

At 7:42 you claim the instrument information can be confused with speed. That is only on that screen, choose a different screen, and you’ll see all different variations. There is one screen that is totally clear, and put the speed dead center with all of the electronic information at the edges.

This has blended brake, so brake pedal will use regen to slow

I loved how the Blazer EVRSAWD rode but it's really slow for an EV and I'm not sure the Y is the answer. Everything I like about the Y is opposite of why I like the Blazer EV. Remember the Tesla is also much more efficient 84kw battery vs the rwd 102kwh(rwd) to get similar range. I have a drive that I do 1 time a month that's 5 hours in an ice but closer to 7 in the Y due to speed/range. Blazer is nicer vehicle but Tesla tech is better. What's longest the Blazer can go on full charge at 75-80mph? If it's 250 miles and charge in 15 than great but most likely not. EV's are not highway cars yet.....I'm waiting for a highway test in winter on the f150 Lightning flash with heat pump if over 250 that's an option but dcfc stinks.....need a few more years before things flip. Problem with Blazer EV is still dcfc charging which handcuffs it as your nice main vehicle but it has the higher " primary vehicle price. It's like a math equation that can't be solved quite yet. EV' are best as round trip back to home vehicles only in my eyes, even Tesla The range vs charging speed ÷ price still off the mark for most of us Government needs to get out of the way of the market also as we fight the mfg's to see whom is going to get the tax rebate if you qualify I still say blend gm/ford with Tesla for best vehicle 7:50 If Blazer had cybertruck tech/drive train it would be #1 selling vehicle guaranteed!!!!! Lighter by 800 lbs Faster est 3.5 0-60 Farther range. Est 375 Faster charging 350kwh

What Apple CarPlay????

Bravo BYD!

Sorry, but the Blazer EV DOES NOT have Apple Car Play or Android Auto. It has a Wi-Fi Hot spot so you can mate your iPhone or Android but it's a couple of extra steps. GM decided to go the Goggle route exclusively to nip software bugs in the butt. They feared too many beta problems with both systems. That's the biggest reason for the delay in moving forward with the all-out introduction of the Blazer EV.

This gonna get a lot views, as there wasn’t an official press drive

This could sell well in Europe but GM pulled out.

I’m surprised he hasn’t gone back and at least added some kind of disclaimer noting that this does not have CarPlay. It’s a bad look that he didn’t know about one of the most controversial aspects of this car which is that GM decided to not have CarPlay on it’s new EVs, although they have it on the Lyriq. The horsepower seems like a flaw as this is larger than most of the cars he mentioned as competition and therefore heavier. My guess is that it’s the compromise they made for range. I lost interest in Chevy’s EVs after the terrible launch of this car, but I’m back considering them as Chevy did the right thing with the stop sale. That charge port is a bit perplexing. The Audi Etron has a similar one that works just fine. Seems odd that they couldn’t figure out how to make it run a bit faster. I like the simple flap that the I5 and the Y have. Still electric, so cool, but opens quickly. Finally, it was a good review, ruined by getting basic facts wrong.

Damn, this with the cybertruck technology and drivetrain would sell like hotcakes!!! And for 79k all day, would assume it would have 0-60 in 3.5, 375 mile plus range, 350kwh DCFC and with equivalent Tesla battery technology in 105kwh battery V2G/V2V charging. Why doesn't chevy just let Tesla take care of the Tech/Drive line stuff and them make the rest.

Don’t buy until you do research on all the software problems. So bad has been pulled from sales. GM doesn’t know software if that’s important to you.

It doesn't have Android Auto or Apple Carplay.

They are trying to hide it from reviewers

Thumbs up for not being down with 1 pedal drive. That like driving with an anchor dragging bending.

Here is downside - it’s a stop sell given bricking issues lol…car sucks for now…

Time to get over performance(horsepower, 0-60, etc.) Grow Up!

Have owned 3 hybrids and 3 Ev's (current Maverick and MYLR) 40 plus others previous. Blazer EV looks good and drives good, however very slow acceleration, very slow charging and short range will crush sales especially priced as if it had leading tech. Chevy will need to discount about 10k with the $7500 tax credit to get prices to around low 40's for these to move. If you but one now you will see a 50% depreciation in 2 years. Buyer beware, GM is not technologically there yet. These will sell between 30k-35k used in 24 months and under 25k in 4 years. It's a great car, seats comfy, drives nice, decent room and stylish but technology is years behind. Wanted to buy one but absolutely no way I could justify. The RWD with larger battery and faster charging as does the SS both 190k and ranges of 320/290 look slightly better but only for diehard chevy fans whom are forward thinking intelligent and technology savvy.(not many exist) Why is chevy not utilizing hybrids and EV's with Range extenders????? Chevy needs to lead and not follow!!!! EV technology even Tesla is not "there" yet as road trips still suck in MYLR....hate the 20+/- minute stops and extreme electrical consumption over 70mph. Wanna drive 300+ miles at 80-85mph don't buy an EV yet, Tesla's suck and anything else you will cause brain melt.

You're obviously not doing 237mph from stop. C'mon. There is also a HUD that displays your speed....right...in front....of you.

Not competitive at all... Terrible acceleration, terrible range, no frunk, slow DC Fast charging and way over $50K...closer to $60K. This still uses the CCS charging port, which means you have to use Electrify America, EVgo and others if you would ever take a road trip. This is a horrible car.

Wow. This video plays like matketing-speak propaganda. If you want to see a REAL review of this EV nightmare, watch Consumer Reports' review. Completely different from this drivel.
