2024 Chevy Blazer EV Base Model Dropped, New Starting Price Jumps
www.caranddriver.com
The 1LT trim is dead, and the now base 2LT trim is considerably more expensive than previously alluded to by Chevy.

Another EV with the base model dropped almost immediately. A frustrating trend for sure.

As if some Titan-born Marvel villain snapped his infinity-stone-laden fingers, the base option for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV has vanished into thin air. The previously announced 1LT trim level, which was to start at $44,995, is gone, leaving the front-wheel-drive 2LT trim (pictured at top) in its place at an as yet unnamed price.

A Chevrolet spokesperson told Automotive News that the brand envisions higher trim levels on the upcoming Equinox EV will meet the needs of potential Blazer EV 1LT buyers, but with the Bolt twins on hiatus, we lament the removal of another budget-oriented option.

      Yeah, we’ve gone back and forth. The leaf actually has a few nice amenities as a 2nd car (heated seats, back row is easier for a kid’s car seat) and the range is irrelevant (it’s used for 5-mile trips or less). The volt doesn’t have heated seats, is worth a lot more when it comes it financing a new car, and has an engine that still needs annual maintenance. That’s why we’re still leaning towards replacing it over the leaf.
