Electric Police Pursuit Coming to Your Town

The future of police vehicles comes in the shape of the same Blazer EV that’s heading to your local Chevy dealer very soon. The shape might be the same, but the equipment will certainly give law enforcement officials an advantage when tracking down criminals.

This new police vehicle is the future of pursuit, and it comes with an all-electric powertrain to be quick, agile, and quiet when out on the road. Of course, when the lights are blaring, and this Blazer EV PPV (for police-prepped vehicle) is on your tail, it’s not going to be a quiet ride at all.

When Will the New Blazer EV PPV hit the Roads?

This new police cruiser arrives alongside the rest of the Blazer EV lineup, but it’s not made for private citizens. This electric pursuit vehicle is based on the SS model and will have the largest Ultium battery of any of the Blazer EV models. This cruiser brings 557 horsepower and 648 lb-ft of torque to the streets while offering 290 miles of driving for the men and women in uniform. As you would expect, this new vehicle will be properly equipped for police use, making it the perfect cruiser for law enforcement officials to use.

Which Blazer EV Models Do We Get?

When the 2024 model year opens, your local Chevy dealer will have a selection of new Blazer EV models for you to buy. We know at least four trims will be part of the lineup, giving us various power options, driving distances, and pricing levels. The equipment will be a little different for each one as well. Let’s take a quick look into what each of these new Blazer EV models could offer when they arrive.

Blazer EV 1LT

The 1LT trim should be the base model of this electrified Chevy Blazer, and it could be the volume trim for this electric vehicle. The 1LT delivers 247 miles of driving range from a single engine. You’ll find a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen in the center stack, an 11-inch digital gauge cluster behind the steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, and an FWD setup. If you want to spend the least on the new Chevy Blazer EV, this is the trim you’ll want to enjoy. The 1LT model should come in at an MSRP of $44,995, and it will arrive in the early part of 2024.

Blazer EV 2LT

Consumers searching for more driving range and a larger battery will look for the 2LT trim at their local Chevy dealer. Until we have the complete list of features, we won’t know what the $47,595 price will get you other than AWD, a larger battery pack, and Super Cruise. Those three items might be enough to make sure you have everything you want in the 2LT trim. The larger battery pack means an increased driving range of 293 miles, and the AWD setup ensures you have one electric motor at each of the axles. This also means we get more power in this Blazer EV.

Blazer EV RS

When you demand your Blazer EV offer at least 300 miles of driving, the RS has you covered. This is the longest-range Blazer EV, and it can take you on the road for 320 miles between charges. You’ll also find a power liftgate, heated/ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, sporty-looking 21-inch wheels, an LED light strip in the grille, and improved upholstery. All of these upgrades bring you to a starting price of $51,995. Could the Blazer EV RS be the sweet spot of this electrified SUV?

Blazer EV SS

If you thought the PPV model of the Blazer EV SS would have more power and driving range than the one you can buy at your Chevy dealer, you’d be wrong. You’ll have the same power in this model, which means you’ve got the sportiest of the four Blazer EV trims. This version rides on 22-inch wheels, has AWD, Brembo brakes, and available Super Cruise. The price jump into the Blazer EV SS is significant, bringing you a starting price of $65,995. We certainly hope there’s more equipment to go with the items mentioned, meaning we expect to see a lot more performance-oriented equipment for this top-level Blazer EV.

How Long Does it Take to Charge the Blazer EV?

Using the 11.5 kW onboard AC charger, which is ideal for at-home charging, you can refill the batteries overnight. This is pretty typical of modern electric vehicles. While out on the road, if you need more miles, a DC fast charger can give you 87 miles of charging in only 10 minutes. That will keep your drive going, and you’ll probably stick around to get as much as 200 miles of charge in 30 minutes so that you don’t have to stop again for a while.

Sporty SUV Styling Works in the Blazer EV

Even though the Mustang Mach-E came out first, Chevy turned the Blazer into a sporty vehicle when it brought this name back to the market. The Blazer EV takes styling cues from the Camaro and Corvette to be a hot-looking, stylish, colorful, and fun electric vehicle to drive. This midsize SUV delivers high shoulders, a low roofline, and plenty of room in the cabin for five people to feel comfortable. This impressive SUV is a great option for police to enjoy, and it makes a good choice at your local Chevy dealer.

Will You Drive the New Chevy Blazer EV?

Your local police force will likely receive new models of this Blazer decked out for police work, but you can have this SUV and enjoy what it brings to the market. Do you want to spend the least and drive the 1LT? Would you like AWD and more driving range found in the 2LT trim? Are you looking for the greatest driving distance in the RS? Will you select the performance-oriented SS model that has the power you’ve been after? One of these four electric SUVs can give you the drive and experience you want when it’s time to ditch the gas pump and go electric.
