The Chevrolet Blazer is GM’s next electric car. It’s a small, lightweight car that runs on electricity from a battery pack. The Blazer is designed to be easy to operate and maintain, and it has a range of up to 100 miles. The Blazer is also the first electric car to be made by GM. It’s based on the same platform as the Chevrolet Camaro, so it should be easy to work with and maintain. The Blazer is also available in several different colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your style.
Mary Barra, the CEO of General Motors, revealed the Chevrolet Blazer EV in a tweet today. There are no details about the car, except the provided photo and the promise of more details coming on July 18. The fine print at the bottom of the photo also confirms the car will be available in the spring of 2023.

The original Blazer was the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, introduced in 1969, which was a full-size SUV with a removable top. GM later reworked it into a more cab-like design without a removable top, which also served as the base for the Suburban. The car entered production again in December 2018 as a mid-size crossover SUV, but without any electric or hybrid options.
The electric Blazer in the photo looks a bit different than the regular gas-powered 2022 Blazer — the headlights have a more streamlined design, for one. TechCrunch reports that the car will use GM’s Ultium EV platform, the same tech used in the Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, and other models.
No matter what the final details will be, the Blazer EV will be entering an increasingly-crowded market. BMW just revealed an electric SUV earlier this month, the iX1, and Ford has started shipping its highly-anticipated electric F-150 pickup truck to customers.
