2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV in red running on street

Electric driving is taking off in Woodlawn, Virginia, and Chevrolet electric vehicles (EVs) are making it easier than ever to join the movement. The 2026 Chevrolet EV lineup includes the Blazer EV and the Silverado EV, which bring together impressive range, real-world performance, and the reliability you can expect from a Chevy EV. We’re here to show what makes these Chevrolet EVs worth considering if you’re an electric enthusiast.

Key Improvements From Previous Model Years

The Blazer EV gets some smart updates for 2026. Chevrolet simplified things by dropping the rear-wheel-drive RS option, though it’s still available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). Color choices have also changed, with Polar White Tricoat replacing Iridescent Pearl Tricoat. The new Tech Bronze package works across all Blazer EV models, adding sharp 22-inch bronze wheels and black exterior touches that make the vehicle stand out.

The 2026 Silverado EV features the Trail Boss model, which has a factory lift, 18-inch wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires, red tow hooks, and a tougher front bumper. Plus, the Chevrolet Silverado electric pickup truck features a Terrain mode specifically designed to handle rough terrain.

Performance, Capability, and Range Specifications

The all-electric Chevrolet Blazer EV caters to every driver’s needs. The base setup is an 85 kWh battery, FWD, 220 hp, 243 lb-ft of torque, and a range of 312 miles, which should easily cover your weekly driving. If you need more muscle, the dual-motor AWD version produces 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque, although its range drops to 283 miles. The SS model of the Blazer EV SUV delivers 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV comes standard with Performance Torque Vectoring Dual Motor Electronic four-wheel drive, but the power varies by trim. The WT makes 510 hp, the Trail Boss cranks it up to 725 hp, and the LT reaches 760 hp. Rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension are available if you want the full package.

Battery choices matter with the Chevrolet EV truck. The Max battery provides the WT with 493 miles of EPA-estimated range, compared to the Standard pack’s 286 miles. The Extended battery provides the LT and the Trail Boss with 410 miles of range, while the Max pack offers both 478 miles of GM-estimated range.

Towing capacity sets these vehicles apart from regular EVs. The Blazer EV handles 1,500 pounds for weekend gear or small trailers. The Chevrolet Silverado EV truck maxes out at 12,500 pounds with a 1,800-pound payload capacity.

Design and Interior Features

The Blazer EV has two rows of adult-sized seating in a sporty interior that complements its aggressive exterior. Round air vents add character to the dashboard, and the RS and SS trims feature an eye-catching black-and-red color scheme. Other colors are available if you prefer something more subtle. Cargo starts at 26 cubic feet but expands to 60 cubic feet with seats folded flat.

The tech setup includes a 17.7-inch infotainment screen angled toward the driver and an 11-inch display for gauges and driving info. The system runs Google built-in with Spotify, Waze, and Google Maps access, although Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t available. Physical climate controls and volume knobs are within easy reach.

The Silverado EV’s interior depends on its trim. Higher trims get a fixed glass roof, two-tone leather with red accents, and passenger space matching regular Silverado crew cabs. WT models keep things simple with easy-to-clean surfaces appropriate for actual work use. The column-mounted shifter creates room for a huge storage bin between the dashboard and armrest.

The truck bed measures nearly 6 feet long, beating most competitors. LT and Trail Boss models with Multi-Flex Midgate handle cargo up to 9 feet long, or almost 12 feet with the tailgate down. The front trunk adds 10.7 cubic feet of extra storage space.

Advanced Technology and Safety Features

Standard safety equipment on every Blazer EV includes front automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, rear-seat occupant reminder, and automatic high-beams. The optional Convenience and Driver Confidence package upgrades emergency braking and adds cross-traffic alerts, rear automatic braking, intersection collision help, and adaptive cruise control.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV comes better equipped with standard front and rear automated emergency braking, plus the Safety Alert seat. All models include adaptive cruise control, while Super Cruise hands-free driving is available on Blazer EV LT models and standard on Trail Boss trims.
