Blazer EV

The Chevrolet Blazer EV slots into GM's Ultium-based lineup as a midsize crossover targeting the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E. It arrived to a rocky launch marred by software issues that prompted a temporary sales halt in early 2024, which colored early reviewer impressions. Once updated, critics recognized it as a genuinely competitive package with a broad trim range spanning an approachable $44,600 LT to a 615-hp SS. Its interior tech and available rear-wheel-drive RS configuration stand out as the most frequently praised attributes.

Wide trim range covers multiple use cases: the FWD LT starts at $44,600 with a class-competitive 334-mile EPA range, while the SS delivers a 3.4-second 0–60 at $61,790

The RS RWD at $50,195 achieves the longest range in the lineup at 324 miles while offering 365 hp and a 6-second 0–60, a combination few competitors match at the price

Interior features a 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment screen and an 11-inch driver display, which reviewers at Car and Driver and MotorTrend noted as genuinely responsive and well-laid-out compared to segment rivals

Dual-motor AWD SS produces 615 hp with a verified sub-3.5-second 0–60, earning comparisons to performance-oriented EVs costing significantly more

DC fast charging is standard across trims, with the Ultium platform supporting up to 190 kW on compatible hardware

Software instability at launch led to a formal sales halt in January 2024 and left early adopters dealing with over-the-air update delays, undermining initial confidence in the platform

Adding AWD to the LT or RS trims drops EPA range to 283 miles, a meaningful penalty compared to the RWD RS or LT FWD figures

Rear seat and cargo space are modest relative to the body size, with InsideEVs and Edmunds noting the sloping roofline cuts into headroom for taller rear passengers

The SS trim's 303-mile range trails the cheaper RS RWD by 21 miles despite costing over $11,000 more, making its value proposition narrowly focused on outright performance

Silverado EV

The Chevrolet Silverado EV enters the full-size electric truck segment as a purpose-built rival to the Ford F-150 Lightning and Ram 1500 REV, built on GM's Ultium platform rather than adapted from an ICE architecture. Reviewers at MotorTrend and Car and Driver have highlighted its industry-leading range figures — particularly the RST Max Range's 460-mile EPA rating — and its surprisingly compliant ride given its mass. The modular frunk, multi-flex tailgate, and available hands-free highway driving via Super Cruise are frequently cited as standout features that give it a genuine edge over competitors.

RST Max Range posts a 460-mile EPA-rated range, the highest of any full-size electric truck currently on sale

760 hp and a 4.0-second 0–60 mph time in the RST Max Range trim, with even base Work Truck delivering 510 hp and a 4.5-second sprint

Built on a dedicated EV platform, allowing a large front trunk and more usable cab and bed packaging compared to converted ICE-based competitors

Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available and covers an extensive mapped highway network, a capability Ford's equivalent system has not yet matched in scope

DC fast charging at up to 350 kW on higher trims enables meaningful real-world charging stops shorter than those of the F-150 Lightning

Entry Work Truck trim starts at $57,095 but the most desirable features — Max Range battery, Super Cruise, RST styling — are locked behind the $89,700 RST, a significant price jump

Curb weight exceeds 8,000 lbs on upper trims, which some reviewers note affects maneuverability in tight spaces and puts it over the threshold for certain parking structures

Availability has been limited and trim rollout phased, with the Work Truck initially restricted to fleet buyers, frustrating retail consumers who want the lower entry price

Interior quality on lower trims has drawn criticism from Edmunds reviewers for not fully matching the premium price point, with some hard plastics inconsistent with the overall cost
