Blazer vs Equinox
Since they did a silent roll out there isn’t that much info out there
The Blazer is bigger than the equinox so i’d assume that stays the same with the EVs
And yet, everything that I see online says this thing competes against things like the Ioniq5, EV6, and MachE
Which is the flock i’d bet the EQuinox EV will be pitted against as well…time will tell

I bought 1 last week and sold my Ford Mavrick hybrid..23 with too many problems…..new discount and $7500 rebate, and S2200 more discount from dealer which brought it down to $44500 RS AWD …Best deal in EV right now.
Nice just picked mine up as well! What issues did you have w your maverick as my dad just picked one up last year and bought it. I’m concerned for him
I bought one last week and traded in my Bolt, new discount and $7500 rebate, best value vehicle period.
I am test driving one this weekend, what do you like about it?
Great review. Most of them just compare this to the others without taking it's biggest feature into account...the styling. I've owned mine for over 2 months now and have a few corrections/notes. 1. The hatch has proximity sensing, so all you do is approach the back, the car will beep 3x's and then open. No foot action needed. There is no apple carplay or android auto available, but you get 8 years of the integrated Google service at no charge. 3. I agree with your headlight assessment and don't understand why people complain about not having physical buttons. The small bulb icon below the one peddle drive is the headlight controls, so no need to dive into any menus.
Those rear seats DO NOT fold flat at all. They are still tilted. Also there is no feature that opens the back hatch by waving your foot under the rear bumper. The only reason why it opened is because you were standing there with the fob in your pocket.
Also, there is no CarPlay or android auto whatsoever on these vehicles.
Might I suggest a redo of this review or at least a video of what mistakes you made as to not mislead your viewers?
My only issue with the suspension is the noise from going over freeway expansion joints. It is not as composed as the Ioniq 5. Other than that, I love everything else about my Chevy Blazer EV. I still can't believe the weight of this vehicle at around 5300 lbs. but is quite efficient in range. I think Chevy has done the best in this regard.
Actually, No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto option. Not wired or wireless.
There is no Android Auto or Carplay, you should really correct this with an on-screen graphic when you say that it's there wirelessly. This is a major point of contention with the Blazer EV, whether you can live without it or not is something everyone has to decide but to be clear, the Blazer EV does NOT have Carplay or Android Auto
You changed your channel name? I remember it was something else..
yeah - stil same guy, but a different format and different name
