GM restarts Chevy Blazer EV sales with updated software and reduced prices.

General Motors has resumed sales of the Chevrolet Blazer EV — and at a reduced price — more than two months after the automaker temporarily halted sales due to software issues.

In December, GM paused sales of the Blazer EV following reports of problems with the SUV’s infotainment screen and charging at DC fast charging stations from early customers.

GM announced that significant software updates have been made to improve features and functionality, aiming to meet customers’ high expectations. The company expressed confidence that these updates will address concerns raised by some early owners, with learnings applied to other products in GM’s lineup.

Additionally, new software features have been added, including customizable multi-color ambient lighting and revised graphics with battery percentage display.

Existing Blazer EV owners will need to visit a GM dealership for a software update to mitigate potential issues going forward. While GM did not delve into specific details of the software issues, it stated that there was no single root cause. The company emphasized improvements in quality testing and software processes to prevent similar problems in the future.

To spur sales, GM initiated price reductions and announced that the Blazer qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit.

The Blazer EV’s LT AWD trim now starts at $50,195, down from $56,715, while the RS AWD is priced at $54,595, down from $60,215. Additionally, the RS RWD has been reduced to $56,170 from $61,790.
