Chevrolet released a new video showcasing the power of the 2024 Blazer EV SS, and this clip, features the company's NASCAR team testing its capabilities on the track. The team went on to test the first SS (Super Sport) trim electric vehicle on the Daytona International Speedway, featuring Chevy's NASCAR drivers, Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain.

The promotional video showed how much the Chevy Blazer EV SS can do, with its 557hp and 648 ft. lbs. of torque when stepping on the acceleration pedal, as demonstrated by Suarez.

It claims a zero to 60 mph speed in under four seconds, and the NASCAR racers claim that it sounds like the former vehicle of the same name. The range estimates 320 miles on a full charge with regenerative braking turned on.

Chevy's Blazer EV SS is Coming this Year

The Blazer EV is set to hit the market this summer of 2023, with the initial trims to be showcased. Its SS trim will shortly follow later this year, and the famed Police Pursuit trim will be available directly to law enforcement institutions only.

Chevy is offering the Blazer EV for a starting price of $47,595 for the base trim, with the SS line to sell for a whopping $65,995.

Chevrolet's EV Lineup is Coming

General Motors' famed brand, the Chevrolet, is one to revamp its lineup that adheres to the United States plans to save the planet by reducing its carbon emissions with clean energy cars coming soon. It originally started with the Chevrolet Bolt EV, the compact car that features a battery-powered drivetrain, its first contender in the EV race.

Since its success, the company has already debuted different models that will join the Bolt EV in its quest towards clean energy.

One of the most anticipated cars from the company centers on a crossover SUV, with last year's announcement of the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV with the many trims it delivers. The EV was built under GM's Ultium platform, centering on a renowned drivetrain development powered by its powerful batteries for its next-gen electric cars.

The Blazer EV is the first of Chevy's electric lineup to feature the world-famous SS trim, known for being the company's performance line which was initially featured on the Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, Monte Carlo, and more. With the recent showcase in one of the homes of American motorsport, the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV SS is set for the world, soon to bring its 557hp powers to all.
