If your heart is set on the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV or you’re simply curious about how it will handle itself during a road trip that extends much beyond the borders of Sterling, then look to this comprehensive guide that we at Pohanka Chevrolet have put together about its charging and range capabilities. There are other morsels of information available that pertain to EV ownership in general, so stay tuned and impress your friends with some of your newly acquired electric vehicle knowledge once you’ve finished!
At-Home Charging Options
Before we begin discussing aspects of the Blazer EV, let’s go over some ways you’ll be able to replenish the battery of your electric vehicle from the comfort of your own household. The first that we will cover is a route that you’re likely already familiar with, which is Level 1 Charging. Using the abundant 3-prong 120V outlet, you can successfully restore your vehicle’s vitality with great convenience because of their commonness. While this is a relatively straightforward method, it’s also the slowest, as it only returns roughly three to five miles of range per hour. Quicker yields are made possible by Level 2 Charging, which is a 240V solution that typically requires professional home installation. Your efforts are rewarded with faster repowering times, upping the ante to approximately 32 miles per hour spent replenishing.
Performance
Staying true to its nameplate, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer will certainly fire up your commutes that begin on Shaw Road. It achieves a 0 to 60 MPH run time in under 4 seconds1, a respectable number that is the product of vigorous components. In its standard FWD arrangement, it achieves 288 combined horsepower2 and 333 lb.-ft. of torque2. This is made possible through the teamwork between a 85-kWh lithium-ion battery, permanent magnet bar-wound motor, and rear induction motor. Its RWD iteration manages 340 combined horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque through a single permanent magnet drive motor and 102-kWh lithium-ion cell. The latter setup 279 miles of EPA-estimated range3, while the former earns 324 miles of approximate range3.
Public Charging
Sometimes you may find yourself in situations where you’re in need of a battery top-off, an example being if the Blazer EV is low on juice while in the midst of driving back home from the playground at Trailside Park. If you’re in this situation, don’t fret, as you can rely on the immense network of 174,000 public chargers to get it back up to an ideal percentage. What you’ll find at most storefronts or parking garages are Level 2 Chargers, while Level 3 DC Fast Chargers are typically available at commercial spaces. The latter is excellent when you’re in a pinch, as it can supply the Chevy Blazer EV with up to 80 miles of range in around 10 minutes4. However, keep in mind that DC Fast Charging should be used with mindfulness, as it can wear down the lithium-ion battery within the vehicle over time if performed frequently.
