It’s about the same size as Chevy’s midsize gas-powered Blazer SUV but otherwise has nothing mechanical in common. With roomy seating and lots of the latest technology features, it could appeal to people looking to go electric with their next SUV purchase.
However, the Blazer EV’s launch has been marred by some glitchy software issues. It is also competing with a host of other electric SUVs, the most popular being the Tesla Model Y. The automotive experts put these two electric SUVs in a head-to-head competition to determine if the upstart Blazer EV can unseat the Model Y.
RANGE & CHARGING
The EPA estimates the dual-motor Blazer EV can go about 279 miles on a single charge. That compares well with a number of similarly sized and priced electric SUVs. Even better, the test vehicle managed to go 320 miles in its standardized real-world range test.
While official EPA estimates for the 2024 Model Y remain pending, the mechanically identical 2023 Model Y registered anywhere from 279 to 330 miles depending on the version. Tester has found in our testing that Teslas typically post slightly less range than those EPA estimates. Notably, Tesla recently revised the Model Y’s advertised range on its website, which now stands at 260 to 310 miles. Essentially, shoppers should be satisfied that both the Blazer EV and Model Y are capable of going around 300 miles.
