2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS Review: 615HP, 3.3s 0-60

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS delivers 615 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, making it the quickest SS-badged vehicle Chevy has ever produced. But can a 5,700 lb electric crossover actually handle like a performance vehicle? This review examines what happens when GM's legendary SS badge goes electric for the first time in history. Key specifications: 615 HP dual motor AWD, 650 lb-ft torque, 102 kWh battery, 303 mile / 488 km range, 190 kW DC fast charging, 0.85g lateral grip, 22-inch performance tire option. Wide Open Watts mode unlocks full power output. Standard Super Cruise hands-free driving. Starting MSRP $69,999 USD / $73,000 CAD. This review covers real world driving dynamics from a driver's perspective, including straight line performance versus handling limitations, DC fast charging behavior under thermal stress, and owner reported experiences after 6 to 18 months of ownership. We examine post-stop-sale software reliability, charging strategy for the 8-65% optimal window, and whether 7.9 inches of ground clearance actually matters for an electric performance crossover. If you're cross shopping the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Tesla Model Y Performance, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, or considering whether the SS justifies its premium over the Blazer EV RS, this review provides the technical details and ownership reality you need to make an informed decision.
