The Chevy Blazer EV is back on sale with working software and a big price drop

It’s a Chevrolet resumption of sales of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV following reports of major software issues, . The company says the glitches have been fixed thanks to “significant software updates”. To lure wary consumers back into the fold, Chevy slashed the car’s prices. Sticker price is reduced by $5,600 to $6,500, depending on trim.

Here’s how it breaks down. The Blazer EV LT AWD now starts at $50,195, down from $56,715. The RS AWD now sells for $54,595, down from the original MSRP of $60,215. Finally, the RS RWD is $56,170, down from $61,790 .All these prices include destination charges.

Additionally, the 2024 Blazer EV lineup qualifies for this $7,500 federal tax credit. This brings the price of the LT AWD down to just $42,695 and is now applicable , so shoppers don’t have to wait for a discount check. If that’s still too rich for your blood, the Blazer LT FWD EV is still slated for release later this year.

If Chevy follows through on its pricing promise and qualifies for the full tax credit, we could be looking at a true budget contender in the EV space.

Chevrolet’s parent company also owns Cadillac, GMC and Buick.
