It heavily depends of course on prices.

The Chevy Blazer EV Heads To Dealers, But You'll Have To Wait For The Cheap Ones (jalopnik.com)
The Chevy Blazer EV Heads To Dealers, But You'll Have To Wait For The Cheap Ones (jalopnik.com)

Initially, Chevy said that the Blazer EV would be offered in 2LT and RS trims with starting prices of $47,595 and $51,995 respectively. These prices are still listed in the Blazer EV section of the Chevy site.

Prices have increased from their early estimates to $56,715 for the 2LT AWD and $60,215 for the RS AWD; the rear-wheel drive RS costs more at $61,790. A Chevy rep told the Freep that the first cars being shipped were highly optioned “launch editions.”

That thing is ugly, like pretty much all of the little crossover looking things.

I like the look, I see that they ship high optioned vehicles initially, as usual.

2023 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT Yearlong Review: Road-Trip Range Strategies (motortrend.com)

Yes, over a 1,000-mile trip, maintaining a constant 80 mph saves 50 minutes of driving time versus driving 75 mph, but 45 minutes of that are consumed by the three additional 15-minute charging stops, for an ideal savings of less than 5 minutes (which the time of slowing, hooking up, etc. surely consumes). If you can tolerate 70 mph driving, you'll eliminate another two charging stops, stretching the total journey time by another 28 minutes relative to the 75-mph time, but quite possibly clawing some of that back in logistical time savings. We extrapolated an estimate for 85 mph, and wow does that extend the journey! Relative to going 80 mph, the 11-hour and 45-minute drive time is extended by the addition of six 15-minute charging stops (or three more 30- and 45-minute stops), with the effect of nearly equalizing the overall trip time with that of traveling 65 mph (and that's before you figure in potential speeding-citation stops).

So, with an EV, range drops dramatically with:

cold weather
towing
higher freeway speeds

Aside from recharging challenges, those three are pretty big negs.  And they aren't subject to some kind of technical fix that i can see, at least not soonish.

The manufacturers are really trying to shove EV's down our throats. 

Anyone watch the BMW open?

I imagine they are under pressure to do so. Actually no. Not "I imagine". More like "I'm sure".

Yup.  Those have got to be the two on the list with the lowest registrations per capita.
