The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV utilizes lithium-ion battery packs with NCMA cathode chemistry and a blended graphite anode. This chemistry is chosen for its energy density and thermal management properties. Two battery pack sizes are available. The FWD and AWD models are equipped with an 85 kWh battery, while the RWD and SS models carry a larger 102 kWh battery to support increased power needs and extended range.

EPA-estimated driving ranges differ by drivetrain and battery size. The FWD variant offers an estimated 312 miles on a full charge. The AWD model has an estimated range of 283 miles. The RWD version extends that range to 334 miles. The SS Performance AWD is estimated to achieve 303 miles. 

Charging capabilities include AC charging at up to 11.5 kW and DC fast charging that can deliver up to 150 kW for 85 kWh battery models and up to 190 kW for 102 kWh battery models. For example, DC fast charging provides approximately 81 miles of range in 10 minutes for the FWD model and up to 87 miles for the RWD variant. The AWD and SS trims offer slightly lower but competitive DC fast charging ranges within the same timeframe.

Charging from a 120V outlet provides about 4 miles of range per hour of charge. A 240V supply with a 7.7 kW dual-level charge cord delivers roughly 20 to 25 miles of range per hour depending on the drivetrain. The highest AC charging rate of 11.5 kW increases range gain to approximately 29 to 35 miles per hour of charge, varying by model. Home charging setups require a dedicated 60A station professionally installed, which is sold separately.

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV offers several drivetrain options that differ in motor types, power output, and torque.

The all-wheel drive (AWD) system features dual motors with individual gearsets. The front motor is a permanent magnet bar-wound type, and the rear motor is an induction motor without magnets. Together, these motors produce a combined output of 300 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque. The front and rear final drive ratios are 11.59:1 and 10.99:1 respectively. 

There is also a rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant that uses a single permanent magnetic motor delivering 365 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The final drive ratio in this setup is 11.63:1. 

The most powerful version, the SS Performance AWD, is equipped with dual permanent magnetic drive motors at both front and rear axles. It produces 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque when operating in Wide Open Watts mode. The final drive ratios for this configuration are 9.87:1 in the front and 10.49:1 in the rear.

The turning circle measures approximately 39.7 feet from wall to wall, enabling maneuverability in urban environments.

Brake systems vary with trim levels. Standard models are equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, while the SS model includes Brembo® six-piston fixed caliper front brakes and larger rotors measuring 15.3 inches in the front and 13.6 inches in the rear, designed to handle higher performance demands.

Exterior dimensions are consistent across trims with a wheelbase of 121.8 inches and overall lengths of about 192.2 inches for most models, with the SS slightly longer at 192.6 inches. Width without mirrors measures 78.0 inches and 86.5 inches with mirrors included. Height ranges around 65 inches, with the SS slightly lower at 64.8 inches. Ground clearance varies from 7.5 inches in the SS to 8.0 inches in the FWD, supporting light off-road capability and road clearance balance.

Wheel sizes and tire profiles depend on the trim, starting at 19 inches on the LT with 255/60R19 tires, 21 inches on the RS with 275/45R21 tires, and up to 22 inches on the SS with 275/40R22 tires.
