Chevrolet is an automobile manufacturing brand that has launched incredible electric vehicles over the past few years. They have recently added one of their classics – The Chevrolet Blazer – to their EV lineup. Read on to learn more about the vehicle.

Chevrolet and their electric vehicles
Chevrolet introduced its first electric vehicle in 1996 and the first electric pickup truck a year later. Since then, Chevrolet has continued investing in research and development and has introduced some very popular electric vehicles like Chevrolet Bolt EV, Chevrolet Bolt Electric Utility Vehicle, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV, and Chevrolet Silverado EV.

Let us look at the specs and features of the Chevrolet Blazer EV:

2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV
