Our 2024 Blazer EV is very, very broken. A road trip from Los Angeles to San Diego revealed a number of faults, but when we got the diagnosis from the dealer, we were shocked at what we saw. Read up on all our EV's problems right here.
Our Chevy Blazer EV Has 23 Problems After Only 2 Months::undefined
I’m not talking about the room to do it. I’m talking about the actual electrical load being handled. Let’s put it into perspective. A house may have 100 to 200 amps at the panel. Aside from all the 12 gauge wiring needed for 200 40 amp charge stations, your electrical grid in the middle of your city is going to have to handle a power draw of an extra 6,000 amps. It’s not something that’s easy and if your work is giving its use as a free perk, it’s not going to be “just the people who really need it” wanting to use it. Charging at work would save a person like $80 a month on the electric bill.
