Why This Chevy EV Has Owners Saying “No Regrets” — Most Of The Time

The Chevrolet Blazer EV has been enjoying considerable market success, despite most brands struggling to uphold individual unit increases on a quarterly basis. A noteworthy reason for the EV bubble burst that we are currently witnessing is due to the rapidly rising starting prices, which will soon worsen once the current administration does away with the Clean Air tax rebate later this month. EVs benefit from substantial long-term savings in the guise of fuel savings and lower maintenance and running costs, but buyers still can’t justify spending so much of a premium to gain access to these pros.

This year so far, market insights reveal that Chevrolet has been able to sell an impressive 12,736 copies of the Blazer EV over the course of the first half of this year, making it one of the top-selling EVs in the region. This performance marks a 76.1 percent sales increase compared to the same period last year, which is a rare case when compared to its main rivals. Having sold so many individual copies, we are also learning that a lot of existing customers are proving to be exceptionally happy with their purchases, as they take to online forums to express what key attributes stand out on the Blazer EV.

What Owners Love About The Blazer EV The Most

The Midsize EV SUV Is Winning A Lot Of Hearts

A question posted to the r/BlazerEV subreddit seven months ago asked existing owners whether they regretted their Blazer EV purchase. Most of the responses indicate the opposite and how much they love their well-rounded electrified SUV. Owners highlight comfort, interior space, performance, build quality, and design as key strengths of the Blazer EV. One user praised its spacious and comfy seats, noting “plenty of room for three kids in the back,” and that the “screen is huge and looks cool” despite some infotainment glitches.

Another emphasized handling and ride quality, calling it “a tank and a sports car all in one” and describing the suspension and heated seats as standout features. Several owners compared it favorably to other EVs. One user said the interior stitching and materials felt better than a claimed 90 percent of Teslas on the road and praised the soft suspension.

Versatility That Rivals The Top EVs On The Market

Another, switching from a Model 3, said the Blazer EV SS feels more comfortable, quieter, and as fast, thanks to a 3.4-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time. The owner also noted how it “handles really well,” offers “all the bells and whistles,” and earned compliments from strangers. Others loved the quiet ride and comfort, describing how the car “glides on the road,” delivers great room even for a six-foot adult in the back, and offers strong highway manners.

Similarly, one noted it felt planted, “comfortable and quieter,” with better blind-spot monitoring and seat-vibration alerts that act like a massage. Finally, a user appreciated the practical performance and tech: having the NACS adapter means “Superchargers are usually also a tad cheaper,” and “the infotainment is a huge upgrade”, as it includes Android phone integration that makes sending routes a seamless operation.

The Blazer EV’s Incredible Electrified Drivetrain

The SUV Makes The Most Of The Ultium Platform

Chevrolet

For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet has changed the Blazer EV’s drivetrain configuration up. Both the LT and RS models are now available with single and dual motor configurations. The former generates 220 horsepower and 243 pound-feet to the front axle, resulting in a seven-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time and 118 MPH top speed limit. Upgrading to the dual-motor configuration increases the combined output to 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet, reducing the 0-60 MPH acceleration time to six seconds with no change to the top speed limit.

The Blazer EV SS‘s dual-motor configuration increases the combined power output to 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet, which is enough to afford it a 3.4-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time with a 130 MPH top speed limit.

Equally Impressive Efficiency Returns

The single-motor derivative is the brand’s most efficient option in the Blazer EV line-up, which is to be expected. The EPA indicates that this model will consume 102/87/95 MPGe on the city/highway/combined cycle, together with a 36-kWh-per-100-mile combined energy consumption figure. This model is only available with the 85-kWh battery pack, affording it 283 miles of range on a single charge. You can expect to save $4,750 in fuel costs over the course of five years, while spending $750 on electricity every year and $1.21 to drive 25 miles.

Upgrading to the optional 22-inch wheels takes a significant toll on the Blazer EV’s efficiency. This configuration returns a 103/86/95 MPGe consumption average with a 283-mile range estimate. This model will save you $4,500 in fuel costs over five years, cost you $800 to recharge every year, and $1.34 to drive 25 miles.

Interestingly, the dual-motor configuration’s estimates are on par with the front-wheel drive on 22-inch wheels, with the only differences being in the city and highway consumption estimates. Improved performance output also comes with the benefit of substantially lower running costs.

The EPA estimates that this model returns an impressive 40 kWh per 100 miles and will cover a full 303 miles on a single charge from the 102 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This model only takes 33 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent via a Level Three DC fast charging system. With this, you can expect to save $4,000 in fuel costs over five years, spend $900 on electricity every year, and $1.49 to drive 25 miles.

Chevrolet’s Appealing Pricing Strategy

Chevrolet has not revealed the RS trim’s full specification list, though it includes:

• Perforated suede and Evotex upholstery
• Memory power adjustments
• Heating and ventilation for the front seats
• A flat-bottom heated steering wheel

In the modern age of electrification, consumers tend to favor how comprehensive a package is above most attributes, so the Blazer EV’s considerable standard specification list acts as a strong drawing card for a lot of existing owners. The aforementioned benefits further bolster its reputation as a viable option for a well-rounded daily driver.
