Just make the whole windshield a touchscreen and be done with it 

Great looking car though!

Clever, getting rid of garage chargers and emergency generators

More notably, it comes standard with an onboard charger capable of both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. If you have access to a 240-volt outlet like the one used to plug in an appliance like a dryer, you can charge fully overnight without needing to install any specialized charging equipment

The Blazer EV doesn’t offer vehicle-to-home bidirectional energy transfer yet, but Chevrolet says it will in the future.

First time I see this.

With the Ford Mach-E, the portable 120V charger is a $650 option  Right now we use the *free* portable charger inside the garage for the CX-90. Need to get more quotes as my go-to electrician is retiring

I think the Leaf also comes with a 240V plug?

My Mach-E came with a portable 120/240V charger included.

Ouch! Good thing I cancelled my Lyriq reservation…

Went to look at the Blazer EV at the local dealer today. They had 6-7 in stock, including 2 unspoken for. No demo available to test drive.

Looks ok, probably a little more roomy inside than the Mach-E as the rear is more square, rear window not as tapered as the Mach-E. Seats were good and more grippy than Mach-E, with more adjustments in the RS trim anyway. More luggage room in the back, but No frunk!

Overall I felt it looked cheaper than the Mach-E, somewhat childish with the red trim around the vents inside. Something my 6 years old grandkid would love but me not so much.

Still good to see yet another EV available now, without 2 years waiting time like we used to see here anyway.
