r/BlazerEV

I’m looking into buying my first EV and I am between 2 right now. The Equinox RS AWD and the Blazer RS AWD. I know the Blazer is a bit roomier, but is there anything that justifies the almost 10k price difference? I’m coming from a Camaro and would like to go to something with a similar drive. Thanks in advance!

Wife was driving home from Calgary when the vehicle suddenly made a loud bang, lights and horn start flashing and it died. Onstar immediately called and said to exit the vehicle as soon as possible to avoid a potential explosion.

Fire department looked over the car and said it looked okay and it was towed to my dealership. Initial diagnostic is showing the battery internally arc'd and that they have never seen this before so GM North America is now involved. 2024 with 19000km

I'm looking at getting my first EV and looking at an SS. I've been researching between here, fb, google, chatgpt, YT, and all the other usual places. That said, everyone has an opinion and they all conflict.
I figured it was time to make a post asking for some owner feedback, both good and bad and things to look out for.
Leasing is out since I live in Chicago. :/ I will be charging at home with a hardwired L2.
TIA

Is there any way to get the Tesla Suoerchargers to work on Google Maps?

I’m driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas tomorrow. I know there’s a few Tesla Superchargers that are compatible with the BlazerEV, but I can’t ever get them to show on Google Maps when using their directions. I’ve looked all over in the settings and I don’t see anywhere to get them to be included in the routing.. has anyone figured it out?

Does anyone use any J1772 extensions at home? I’m currently charging at a level 1 in my garage @ 12A. I would like to keep the SS in the drive way but still have the ability to charge.

I’m using the OEM mobile charger with the 120 outlet.

Hey guys I didn't realize I still had onstar subscription. Now that it's canceled I've noticed that I no longer have the app update my charging status, but I can still remote start. What other small features have I lost out on as well?

Hello all, current ICE owner coming in peace, looking to join up with the EV crowd.

I drove a Blazer EV today and really enjoyed the experience. I had two questions for people with any experience.

1. What can I realistically expect from the included 120V charger per night? I have an electrician quoting me a 200A upgrade for a Level 2, but if I find a deal I want to move on it. I drive less than 40 miles as a commute total during the week, and I teach so I have summers off. Will a 120V trip my current panel at all if I’m on the garage circuit with nothing but a fridge plugged in?

2. Anything I should know specifically versus a Mach-E? Those are the two I am looking at and Blazer felt more polished but the infotainment and telematics give me pause. Anything that should be a red flag?

Thanks in advance!!!

I have a 2024 Chevy Blazer EV lease that ends in August, but I am almost out of miles (1500 left); so I am planning to hunt for month/quarter end deals at the end of June and trying to get into a new lease (most probably another GM vehicle, as they would waive the disposition fees).

What is the procedure for lease return? I heard that if we leave it at the dealership; it takes 3-4 months before the final bill comes out?

Did anyone do a GM Lease return recently? What was the procedure? Suggestions?

Does anyone have any information about the difference in ride quality between the RS (RWD) and SS? I am aware the SS has 22" wheels and that will negatively affect ride quality, however, I am also aware they changed the shock absorbers and springs as well. Just wondering how much rougher of a ride it would be compared to the RS trim. I eventually plan to do some test driving myself, but was curious what others thought.

My auto hold stopped and can no longer use OPD. This sucks, scheduled service. Hoping its covered under warranty currently at 34k miles. Currently in a 2024 2LT

Looking around to buy 2024 used blazer ev or 2024 equinox ev. Any suggest which one will be better for daily 200 miles commute.

This is just for fun. Nothing serious.

I asked an AI photo generator to use my photo of my Blazer EV and replace the 2 rear doors with a pickup bed. The original picture and the AI generated result are below.

I'm sure it's not a practical idea, but it's fun to play.

Starting yesterday, my 2025 LT lost it's connections to the outside world. OnStar button doesn't work. No internet connection (hotspot or via apps). GPS is way off. I haven't tried XM. I tried rebooting the infotainment system by holding down the call hang-up button, but it didn't fix the issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone have consistently better experiences on one particular charging network? I used to judge them all based on whether or not the charger worked. I just used a Russian charger for the first time, though, and it was *by far* the best charging curve I've ever had, holding higher charging speeds for much longer.

Has anyone else experienced really good chargers with a particular network?
