I'm here to give an HONEST review. I've had a Chevy EV for about 3/4 Months and I'm counting down the seconds to get rid of it in 3 more years.. I've despised the car after 3 days of leasing it. Anyone thinking to buy this car truly needs to educate themselves on EV's not just go based off of what the dealer educates you with. Apparently, each model of this vehicle comes with different mileage range. i have a standard blazer that only gives me a 280 mile range on 100% battery. unrealistic for a parent like me. i transitioned to this from a Traverse that gave me 420 mileage range on a full tank. In other words, the blazer EV with 280 mile range is like having a half a tank... in terms of charging. Your best bet is to have a charger installed in your home. WARNING: OUTLET INSTALLATION RANGES BETWEEN $1K-$2K.... if you use a traditional outlet you will get about 4 miles for ever 2 hours you charge. public chargers do not work 98% of the time, especially the free ones. The ones you pay for, also don't work half the time and the ones that do get taken up so fast. I had 8 percent one day which is about 12 miles and i spent an hour trying to find a charger and could not find one., this actually happened a few times if im being ENTIRELY HONEST. The first time i charged my car to 80% which is what is recommended- i spent $60... again, $60 for 80% battery which is 226 Miles..think of it as $60 for half a tank. The car has a nice ride - its about the only thing i like from it. Super smooth- no gear shift so you can go from 0-100 real quick, no pun intended. The car has an auto brake feature which will give you whiplash any time it activates. i tried turning it off because the emergency brake has turned on on me in the middle of the highway and me driving without other cars in front of it. Its happened to me parking, at a green light, coming off an exit- you name it. again, I've tried turning this feature off and it still activates on its own. in my opinion- dangerous- especially in the middle of a highway or coming off an exit as anyone can easily rear end you. the car has the bird view to park which is pretty great. this is an electric car- like a cell pone- they glitch all the time. some days the screen works, some days it does not. some days it works and then in the middle of me driving the screen goes all blue etc. The car is definitely spacious, although i lost a 3rd row seat from my Traverse- the trunk space makes up for it. the google or Alexa feature it has- instead of car play- never works.. N E V E R - i call for google or Alexa and they're response is always "i seem to be having a problem right now" or the screen says "feature unavailable please try again later". please keep in mind that this is how you pull up your GPS or music while you're driving- so if you have an emergency mid ride- you're better off pulling over. also, back to the battery quickly. I was told any GM dealer will charge for free- this is absolutely inaccurate. I've visited a number of dealers and they all state this was a lie. they can charge in the even of an emergency but you have to pay. Also, i would like to mention that GM offers incentives for charger installation, which is true but guess what, it doesn't apply to Blazer EV. i tried returning this vehicle after having it for one week- 10 days- and was told i had the car for a month so i couldn't be helped. it felt like a month because i got it on the 28th of the month and came back on the 7th. I want to be fair and state the dealer did offer me alternatives for my vehicle and my situation a smaller Buick for $800 a month and more money down payment.--- clearly i was forced to keep this EV which i despise with every ounce of my body. GM definitely lost what could have been a very loyal customer... again, this car, for me, a no go... HOPE MY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE CAN HELP SOMEONE ELSE!

I turned in my 2021 Chevy Bolt lease for a Blazer EV RS as well. There are few things I do not like:
• No Apple CarPlay
• The RS doesn't have Panoramic Moonroof but the LT does
• Can't close the center console door when USB-C Charger is plugged in
• Only 150kw fast charging. Tesla, Hyundai, KIA all do much faster charging
• Super slow Charging Door
• Monthly Subscription service to use google services! DUMB decision by GM
