2024 Chevy Blazer EV Base Model Dropped, Starting Price Jumps (www.caranddriver.com)

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.

GM is on a roll... dropping base models, raising prices and removing CarPlay/Android Auto... Easy to guess which direction that roll is going.

Don't forget that they basically abandoned the rest of the world. They're just an American automaker now. Methinks their time is limited, EV or no EV..

That's not true, they sold 462,000 cars in China this quarter. In fact, there is another post here that showcases their new EV.
