Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Chevy Blazer EV PPV
General Motors is set to unveil the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV, an all-electric vehicle aimed at police departments worldwide. As manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) strive to carve out their niche in the evolving landscape of transportation, Chevy is targeting law enforcement fleets with its latest offering.
Police departments, much like everyday consumers, are increasingly integrating electric vehicles into their fleets. While the Tesla Model 3 has gained traction among law enforcement, Chevy is poised to introduce its own police-oriented EV that could emerge as a strong competitor.
Electrek’s Peter Johnson recently highlighted new details about the 2024 Chevy Blazer Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV). This initiative forms a key part of GM's ambitious $35 billion investment plan aimed at bolstering their electric vehicle production and market presence between 2020 and 2025.
Section 1.1: Key Features of the Blazer PPV
The specifications for the Blazer PPV reveal several noteworthy features:
- It will debut as Chevy’s first electric vehicle rated for pursuit, equipped with law enforcement-specific enhancements, including underbody skid plates and emergency medical supplies, along with light towing capabilities.
- Designed for the demanding nature of police work, the vehicle will be fitted with police-grade tires and top-tier Brembo brakes, ensuring improved braking performance.
- Chevy actively sought input from law enforcement agencies to identify the most beneficial features and components for this model.
- Enhancements to interior elements like the steering wheel, seat belts, and seats will prioritize safety.
- The vehicle is projected to deliver 557 horsepower and a range of at least 290 miles per charge.
- A false bottom trunk floor found in civilian models will be omitted to provide additional storage space in the police variant.
- All versions of the Blazer will share identical driver-assistance technology options.
Section 1.2: Production Timeline and Pricing
Chevrolet has announced that the pricing details for the PPV are expected to be released by mid-2023, with production slated to begin in the first quarter of 2024.
According to Ed Peper, the Vice President of GM Fleet in the U.S., this new EV is designed with a clear purpose:

This specially designed electrified Blazer EV PPV promises exceptional pursuit performance, the reliability associated with Chevrolet, and rapid charging capabilities essential for a high-performance patrol vehicle.”
