Chevrolet on Friday confirmed increases in both EPA ratings and power output for its rear- and all-wheel-drive 2025 Blazer EV. It also released pricing and more information about the base front-wheel-drive model.
Rear-wheel drive versions of the Chevrolet Blazer RS come with an EPA-rated range of 334 miles in 2025, up from 324 miles in the 2024 Blazer EV, while LT AWD versions do 283 miles, from 279 miles. Horsepower and torque figures for both also rise to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft for the LT AWD, and to 365 hp and 325 lb-ft for the RS AWD.
Both of those models remain available to order now, Chevy said. It also increased the base price of its first front-wheel-drive model, the LT, to $45,995, including mandatory destination charge. That version will be available to order “soon,” according to the brand.
The range-topping RS RWD and high-performance SS AWD models will get a larger 102-kwh battery while other Blazer EVs get an 85-kwh pack. SS models go up to 557 hp, rear suspension, and 0-60 mph times in under four seconds, and while Chevy hasn't detailed that model yet, it has confirmed a 2025 Blazer SS base price of $61,995.
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS
Chevrolet had already dropped the base price on the existing AWD LT and RS versions by as much as $1,200 as they were being refreshed for the 2025 model year early last summer. For 2025, the Blazer EV LT AWD costs $48,995, while the Blazer RS AWD costs $54,295, with the content that was standard on the 2024 models optional—increasing prices slightly but allowing more flexibility if you don't want those features.
The LT AWD's Comfort and Convenience package and the RS AWD's Convenience and Driver package are now optional—along with a charging cable. That package includes wireless phone charging, a power tailgate, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and more, and is listed as costing $2,295. The RS Convenience and Driver Package includes a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, and heated wipers. The package adds $2,620 to the list but GM doesn't seem to agree to remove it in 2025.
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV
Still, the base price reduction is a pleasant surprise for EV purchases, as consumers—in recent surveys and actual demand—have shown they want a lower-priced EV option. GM in March dropped prices for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV by thousands, as it resumed sales and deliveries of the electric SUV after a series of interoperability problems, including charging problems, led to the suspension of Blazer EV sales in December.
GM noted that models delivered after that production hiatus were given “significant software updates,” including updates to ambient lighting and battery percentage gauge cluster graphics. In testing the Blazer EV last month, Green Car Reports found no software gremlins and was impressed with the model's efficiency and range.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is one of the most affordable cars of the year, because it starts with a base version starting at $34,995 and because it delivers a range of 319 kilometers.
