The Chevrolet Blazer EV is the company's first electric model to be made available its iconic "SS" trim.

General Motors, which owns the Chevrolet brand, says in a press release that the Chevy Blazer EV, which first debuted in 2025, is "first all-electric addition to the Chevy SS family" and "the quickest Chevy SS ever."

"It’s also the most powerful EV in its class, packing 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque," the company said, noting the Blazer is also "Chevy’s first performance EV."

GM touts the fact that it is the nation's second biggest EV seller, falling only behind Tesla in cumulative sales when electric models from its Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models are considered. GM sold 169,887 EVs in 2025 among the three brands that fall under its umbrella, according to Cox Automotive. The Detroit company's total was second only to Tesla's 2025 sales of 589,160 EVs in the United States.

GM sold 22,637 Blazer EVs in 2025, making it the company's second biggest-selling electric model, behind only the Chevrolet Equinox EV.
