As the automotive world continues its shift toward greener solutions, Chevrolet leads the charge with an expanding lineup of electric vehicles. The latest additions to Chevrolet's EV family are the versatile 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and the tech-forward and powerful 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. Built on General Motors' innovative Ultium battery platform, these models offer a range of powertrain options designed to meet the diverse needs of Future Chevrolet customers across Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Lincoln, Davis, and Fair Oaks. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is a midsize SUV with aggressive styling and a performance-focused attitude.  Estimated range expectations sit at an impressive 320 miles, and road trips will be a breeze with ample amounts of cargo room in this two-row EV.  The class-leading range of 440 miles and up to 754 horsepower puts the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV at the top of the list for capable electric trucks, while the roomy cabin and 10,000 pound towing capacity make it a true truck-lover's dream. At Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, we understand that choosing a new vehicle is a significant decision, and our team is here to guide you through the features and differences of these exciting new electric vehicles. In this review, we'll dive into the specs, interior features, range, and performance of both the sporty 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and the highly capable 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV-two models that promise to electrify your driving experience and pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future!

Performance and Efficiency

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV offers a range of powertrain options tailored to different trim levels. The entry-level LT trim features standard all-wheel drive powered by dual electric motors producing 288 horsepower. The RS trim provides flexibility with a choice between rear-wheel drive, delivering an impressive 340 horsepower from a single electric motor, or all-wheel drive with the same 288 horsepower setup. For thrill-seekers, the top-tier SS trim boasts an exclusive 557-horsepower electric powertrain, 648 lb-ft of torque, and Performance all-wheel drive, enabling blistering acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds. Towing capacity for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV tops out at about 3,500 pounds. When it comes to range, the RS trim leads the pack with an EPA-estimated 324 miles on rear-wheel drive and 279 miles for the all-wheel drive version. The LT all-wheel drive also matches the 279-mile range. Charging is a breeze with the Blazer EV's advanced 190-kW DC fast-charge capability, adding up to 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes, making it a top contender in efficiency and convenience.
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is powered by GM's 24-module Ultium battery system, boasting over 200 kWh of capacity. It features dual electric motors for electronic all-wheel drive, delivering up to 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in "Wide Open Watts"  mode, achieving a 0-60 mph time under 4.5 seconds. Built on the Ultium platform, it incorporates independent suspension, a low center of gravity, and all-wheel steering for a smoother, more nimble ride compared to traditional pickups.  The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST offers an estimated 440 miles of driving range. However, towing a trailer can reduce range by over 50%, although the Silverado's class-leading range still gives it an edge in towing distance compared to rivals.  The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV supports ultra-fast DC charging at up to 350 kWh, allowing it to add 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. For home charging, the Silverado EV supports 19.2 kW Level 2 charging, taking about 11 hours for a full recharge.  

 
 
 

Trim Comparison

Only one trim level of the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is available for sale at Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, the RST.  This fully-loaded electric truck features 24-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel steering, an adaptive air suspension, and a versatile mid-gate for extended cargo.  The tech-rich cabin includes a large 11-inch driver display, an even bigger 17-inch infotainment touchscreen, a head-up display that spans a whopping 14-inches, and a trailer-capable SuperCruise for hands-free driving.  Luxury abounds with thoughtful touches that include leather upholstery, a fixed glass roof, wireless phone charging, in-dash navigation, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.  The truck omits Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of GM's Google-based infotainment system. We love the power center in the bed that supports electric tools and appliances, while the RST can also serve as emergency home power when paired with GM's $7,200 Energy home power system.
If you are in need of something a little smaller, with the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, you'll have a little more variety with three trims to choose from, each offering a blend of range, performance, and style. The entry-level LT delivers a 279-mile range with standard all-wheel drive, 19-inch wheels, an 11-inch driver information center, and a 17.7-inch touchscreen display, surprisingly larger than the touchscreen in the Silverado.  The RS trim steps up with available rear-wheel drive, achieving the highest range of 324 miles. It also boasts street-inspired design elements like 21-inch wheels, a black-painted grille panel, sporty flow-through rocker molding, and an illuminated front light bar with bowtie animation. Inside, you'll find Evotex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated front seats.  At the top of the lineup, the SS trim offers Performance AWD, Brembo front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, faux suede upholstery, a virtual mirror, a head-up display, and heated rear outboard seats, making it the ultimate choice for style and driving enthusiasts.
