Video Summary
The Chevy Blazer EV SS has clear lens taillights. The exterior color is radiant red. It has 22-inch wheels, 615 horsepower, and 650 pound-feet of torque. The interior is an all-red color. The leather in the interior is not very nice. The dashboard and central console are plastic. It's a typical Chevy interior. The car is $65,000 as tested, which is a lot of money. With that price, however, it may be the cheapest way to get 600 horsepower in an EV. This car has the same powertrain as the Cadillac Lyriq. The battery is 102 kilowatt hours. This Blazer EV SS can only charge at 190 kilowatts peak. GM is usually conservative about battery use. The tester noted there are both balanced and dedicated chargers at the charging station.Charging test, with climate control on, starts at about 11%, aiming to test how much range this Blazer adds in 15 minutes of charging. As of that point in the video, the car did not have NACS yet but the vehicle can use super chargers if you have an adapter. This 10% challenge test will emulate how much range a person would get after 15 minutes of charging. They are driving 81 miles per hour indicated, which is 80 mph using GPS, until the battery is back to 10%. The car estimates about 2.5 miles per kilowatt hour. At the end of this time, they have 22% charge, gained 38 miles, and the charging was said to be a big disappointment. During charging, the charging rate went to about 175kw.
