Previously priced at $56,715 before the federal tax credit, the entry-level LT trim with all-wheel drive now comes with a price tag of $50,195. This adjustment, coupled with the EV tax credit reinstatement, effectively brings the net price to $42,695.
The Blazer EV’s RS trim has also seen price cuts for both the all-wheel and rear-wheel drive variants, falling from $60,215 and $61,790 to $54,595 and $56,170, respectively. After applying the $7,500 federal tax incentive, the prices are further reduced to $47,095 for AWD and $48,670 for RWD. Chevy is also offering reimbursements for previous buyers who purchased at the higher initial price, unlike some other EV makers.

Despite the price reductions, it remains to be seen if these changes will boost the appeal of the Chevy Blazer EV in an increasingly competitive market. The vehicle still faces criticism over ride quality, seating comfort, and cargo space. With rivals like Rivian introducing new models, Chevrolet must improve its offerings, such as the upcoming Equinox EV, to stay competitive in the EV segment.
