Another EV with the base model dropped almost immediately. A frustrating trend for sure.
As if some Titan-born Marvel villain snapped his infinity-stone-laden fingers, the base option for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV has vanished into thin air. The previously announced 1LT trim level, which was to start at $44,995, is gone, leaving the front-wheel-drive 2LT trim (pictured at top) in its place at an as yet unnamed price.

A Chevrolet spokesperson told Automotive News that the brand envisions higher trim levels on the upcoming Equinox EV will meet the needs of potential Blazer EV 1LT buyers, but with the Bolt twins on hiatus, we lament the removal of another budget-oriented option.
It’s interesting to see Chevy going the opposite route and raising prices right now when there have been so many other companies starting to lower pricing. You’d think they’d get rid of the higher trim rather than the lower one, but they must have better margin on the higher trim.
Agreed, I almost held my breath for the Blazer / Equinox. Glad I plunged early for the ID4, the savings have been great.
