Blazer EV Dealer
Just because you want an SUV with a comfortable interior and plenty of cargo space doesn’t mean you're ready to sacrifice fuel efficiency. Fuel prices can fluctuate without warning and put a strain on everyone’s finances, but not everyone can simply get by with a compact car. Fortunately, with the electric car revolution in full swing, there are plenty of great electric SUV options available, with Chevy leading the charge with its Blazer EV. So, if you're looking for a spacious SUV that will keep you away from the pump entirely, the Chevy Blazer EV is a great contender for your next vehicle. For those in the Houston area searching for a local Blazer EV dealer, look no further than Parkway Chevrolet, located conveniently in Tomball, TX.
The Blazer nameplate can trace its history back to Chevy’s 1969 model year; however, the Blazer EV ushers in a new all-electric incarnation of the iconic model. Whether you’re a long-time driver of electric vehicles or are making the switch now, you’re sure to be impressed with its power and efficiency. If you’re interested in learning more, you’ve come to the right place. Let's take a deeper look at what makes the Blazer EV so special and why we're so excited to have it part of the Chevy lineup.
What Is the Blazer EV?
The Blazer EV is a two-row midsize crossover SUV that will hit the market for the 2024 model year. While it shares the same name as the gas-powered Blazer, the Blazer EV has its own distinct body and interior. It’s available in several trim levels so that you can find just the right balance of luxury, capability, and affordability. Even the most basic 1LT model comes packed with a top-of-the-line infotainment system and an extensive suite of safety and driver-assist features, but upgrading to higher-end trims can get you things like extra tech, exclusive styling features, or a sportier design.
Because it’s an EV, you don’t need to find the time to swing by a gas station to power the Blazer up. You can charge up in the comfort of your own home with a dual-level charge cord that can accommodate either level 1 or level 2 charging. You can also charge while you work, run errands, or have a day on the town by parking at one of the many public charging stations around the country. You can download the myChevrolet mobile app with Energy Assist to easily find compatible charging stations along your route and see their availability in real-time.
2024 Blazer EV Highlights
The first Blazer EV is coming out swinging, with an impressive 320-mile range on the RS trim and an SS trim that offers 557 hp, allowing it to go from zero to sixty in less than four seconds. Lower trims still have plenty to offer, including an 11-inch driver information center and a massive 17.7-inch infotainment display. It also comes standard with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, featuring helpful tools like automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams to give you the confidence you need on the road.
Its all-electric powertrain isn’t the only thing that makes the Blazer EV a futuristic vehicle. It also offers hands-free start, which means that not only do you not have to take the key fob out of your pocket to start the vehicle, you don’t even have to push a button. All you have to do is tap the brake, and you’re ready to go. Wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity mean that you don’t need to mess around with cables to keep your devices charged and connected to the vehicle’s interface.
FAQs About EV Ownership
What’s the Difference Between an EV and a Hybrid?
A hybrid vehicle uses both an internal combustion engine that runs on gas or diesel and an electric motor that uses energy from the car’s battery. Some hybrids use regenerative braking to charge the battery, while others can be plugged directly into a power source. EVs, on the other hand, don’t have an engine at all. They are powered by one or more electric motors that get their energy from an onboard battery that can be charged by plugging it into a power source.
How Does EV Charging Work?
EVs can be charged at your home or a public charging station. While EV charging takes longer than filling up a tank with gas, charging stations tend to be placed in parking lots so you can let them charge while doing other things, from grocery shopping to visiting a zoo or amusement park.
What Are Charging Levels?
Level 1 charging means plugging your vehicle into a standard household outlet. This is convenient because it means you can charge up just about anywhere with electricity, but it is quite slow. Level 2 charging requires an outlet that provides 240 volts of electricity and is much faster than level 1. You can find this at many public charging stations, or you can get a compatible outlet installed at home. Level 3 charging is also called DC fast charging. It’s the fastest type of charging and is generally only found at public charging stations.
Can I Own an EV if I Don’t Have a Garage?
It’s certainly more convenient to own an electric vehicle if you can charge up at home, but a garage is not necessarily a requirement. You’ll just want to take the availability of public charging stations into account more heavily before you buy. If there’s a public charging station at your workplace, school, or another place that you frequent, you should be able to easily keep your EV fully charged, even if you can’t plug it in at home.
Do EVs Need Special Maintenance?
EVs may seem more complicated than gas-powered vehicles, but in many ways, they’re easier to maintain. EVs don’t need oil changes or tune-ups because they don’t have internal combustion engines. However, this doesn’t mean they don’t need any maintenance at all. Tire rotations and wiper replacements are still just as necessary as they are with any vehicle. Luckily, the certified experts in our service department can help you with all of your automotive needs, whether you have a gas-powered car, a hybrid, or an EV.
Custom Order Your Blazer EV to Your Exact Specifications
The Blazer EV may be just one model, but there are plenty of different variations available. Aside from the trim levels, some available features are optional add-ons rather than standard equipment. Features like Super Cruise may be a must-have for a dedicated road-tripper but aren’t as appealing to drivers who know they’ll just be using their vehicle to maneuver around town.

When you buy or lease a new vehicle with us, we can help you customize your order to your exact specifications.
