Over the past few months, Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet has revealed no less than three new electric models that will eventually be added to the brand’s portfolio.
In addition to launching the Tahoe RST Performance, Chevrolet took advantage of the Detroit Auto Show to highlight its next series of electric vehicles. In their respective electric versions, Equinox, Blazer and Silverado have caught the eye. All three vehicles are based on General Motors’ Ultium architecture.
The electric-powered portfolio was presented by Doug Houlihan, executive engineer in the development of the Chevrolet Equinox EV and Blazer EV.
2024 Chevrolet Equinox
electric First announced last week, the Equinox EV made its first public appearance at the show. Its entry price of $35,000 for the 1LT version in Canada is certainly the metric everyone remembers.
Depending on the version selected, the range will vary from 400 to 480 km. By choosing a small battery, the developing power will be 210 hp. It will increase to 290 horsepower with the larger battery. Super Cruise technology will be available. Its arrival is scheduled for the fall of 2023.
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV
The Equinox EV isn’t Chevrolet’s only electric SUV. Indeed, we will remember that the manufacturer presented the Blazer EV 2024 last July. This focuses more on performance. It is also bulkier. When it first launched, it attracted special attention with three configurations that can be front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV

At the time, we knew it could go up to 640 km on a single charge, depending on the version chosen.
The RST First Edition offers 660 hp and 780 lb-ft of torque and power, respectively, and can tow payloads up to 10,000 lbs.
