The Chevrolet Blazer EV, an all-electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) was shown off by General Motors (GM) on Monday night. Chairman Mary Barra hopes that the Blazer EV will help her beat Tesla in American sales by 2025. The Chevrolet Blazer EV, which will go on sale in 2023 as a 2024 model, is not the only GM electric vehicle that will be coming out soon. There are also a lot of Cadillac and Chevy EVs that will be available on the market. But the Blazer, with its lower price and place in the SUV market, could help GM reach its sales goals. Scott Bell, Vice President of Chevrolet, says that the Blazer will show how GM can enter high-volume markets. Not much was known about the Blazer EV and its many models. But enough was said for customers to have a pretty good idea of what to expect by this time next year.
