    I love mine! It performed like a champ over five states and 2400 miles. GM's partnership with Pilot/Flying J was genius. It's likely by next Summer I can charge exclusively at those locations.

    Perfect car for the suburbs. Zero gas consumption, clean emissions, almost zero maintenance. Plenty of room for trips to Costco. Good range. Most fossil fuel SUVs can barely make 300 miles on a full $200 tank of gas. Glad Chevy is stepping up. Hope dealers don’t gouge people. Have had an EV for 4 years, zero problems, no gas! Also have a 7 year old Toyota Hybrid.

    Just traded our 2020 Bolt same color as yours and bought a Blazer RS AWD! Love it as the Bolt was just to small and we felt unsafe on freeways! My wife loves the dual zone A/C as I am always hot and she is always cold so she uses heated seat and I use cooled seat! 2 people testing the Blazer found 315-320 miles range! Also you can choose to not need seat belt to drive! I have a Hemi Ram as my truck but rarely use it as I am to cheap to buy gas! My 1st EV was a 2013 Ford Focus EV which I love but way to primitive! Every EV has been the best car I have owned and like you I plan to keep this one forever! Also love the adaptive cruise control!

      When I filmed this (which was April 19), The dealership had told me that they had over 20 Lyrics sitting on the lot unsold, because they didnt qualify for the incentives. (as they were over $70k)
      Maybe they qualified for some?
      But since then, many dealers have dropped the price to $69k so that people will buy them. (I was told this at the dealer, just passing it on. This is a BC Canada incentive I talking about, all provinces are different. No matter what, I didnt think the Lyric was the right car as it was $11k more.

      I just googled CCS, and I still can't find out what it is.....but I can tell you, I drove my Bolt for 6 years, 80k KM driving where I need to go and passing gas stations. Now I drive this Blazer, and drive it everywhere I need to go. Yes, local stuff, nothing further than an hour away usually. Like I said in my video, I have a truck that is incredible on fuel, and I use it for long trips as it gets 1200KM per tank. Hope that helps answer your question.

The Hyundai's had a charging issue that would make the car charge super slow due to faulty controllers. The list goes on and I suspect your blazer will have issues.
