Video Summary
Findings from the review of the electric car in the video:-General Motors is taking an aggressive approach to electrification.
-The electrification initiative is cornerstoned by the Ultium platform;
-This platform consists of batteries, motors, cells, control systems, and electronics.
-This platform promotes high part commonality, lower MSRPs, and easier repairs.
-The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV shares nothing with the gasoline Blazer EV.
-It has multiple electric platforms, including ones in the Equinox EV and other large EVs.
-The vehicle has seen some price drops lately.
-If the $7,500 tax credit is applied, the cost could be $41,995.
-This would mean that the difference between the gasoline version would only be $2,500.
-Front end styling is similar to the gasoline Blazer, but more aerodynamic.
-It includes aero ducts for smoother airflow, and lower bumper/hood height than the gasoline version.
-It has full LED headlights in the same module as daytime running lights and the turn signals.
-The reviewer is driving the RS trim; this version is all-wheel-drive.
-It is the same size as the standard gasoline Blazer.
-This is a solid mid-size, two-row EV.
-The back seat is large with a lot of legroom; cargo area is limited due to lower roofline.
-Front seat is 7/10, lumbar support is only two-way. A four-way adjustable would be an improvement.
-It’s full of technology: power charging door, express wheels, full LED headlights, etc..
-LEDs are all in the same module; however, side turn signals are read and are not amber.
-It has all the control systems for the OnStar system.
-Full access to the internet as well as Amazon Alexa.
-It also has access to Google Assist.
-It has app access, but is missing CarPlay support.
-Acceleration is swift compared to the gas Blazer at 5.9 seconds zero to sixty.
-The 60 to 0 stopping distance is 132 feet. This is long due to the vehicles curb weight.
-As it is configured, fuel economy averages 3.1 miles per KWh.
-There is a lack of a Frunk in the vehicle.
-There are many discounts available on the vehicle.
-In summary, General Motors is attempting to create a reasonably priced car in a market where the price is often way too high.
