2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV

The 2024 Blazer EV is the first Chevrolet vehicle on General Motors’ new Ultium electric platform, which is shared by the Honda Prologue EV and Cadillac Lyriq. We offer our first impressions of the new Blazer, including its driving dynamics, build quality, and why GM ordered dealers to stop selling it. We also discuss the future of internal combustion engines and whether or not EVs will dominate the car market in the next decade. Also, we debate whether the 2025 Toyota Camry hybrid is worth the wait, or is the recently updated 2024 Honda Accord hybrid.   More info on the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV here: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/2024-chevrolet-blazer-ev-review-a1328332871/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT Ratings and test results on every car CR purchases and tests: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT     SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:15 - First Impressions: 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV 01:26 - Issues we encountered 02:58 - Lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 06:16 - Charging 06:40 - Interior Quality 07:08 - Driving Dynamics 10:14 - The Brakes 11:49 - Design oddities 12:35 - Controls 13:26 - Stop Sale Order 14:39 - More issues 16:43 - Things we liked 17:20 - Visibility 18:00 - Seat Comfort 19:44 - Question #1: What will be the prevalent fuel source for vehicles in the next decade? 25:26 - Question #2: Is the 2025 Toyota Camry worth the wait?     ----------------------------------   First Drive: 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Is a Bumpy Ride https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/2024-chevrolet-blazer-ev-review-a1328332871/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/chevrolet/blazer-ev/2024/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Hybrid & EV Ratings https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Preview: 2024 Honda Prologue Electric Vehicle Is Sensible and Roomy https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/2024-honda-prologue-review-a8015429336/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Preview: 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Shows GM’s Commitment to Electric Cars https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/cadillac-lyriq-review-a5185208455/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Car Safety Guide https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-safety/car-safety-guide-a6462424223/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
