How long does it take to charge the new electric Chevy Blazer?
The new electric Chevy Blazer can be fully charged in as little as 7 hours when using a Level 2 home charging station. However, the exact charging time can vary depending on the battery size, charging station power output, and other factors.
Charging Time Breakdown
The Chevy Blazer EV comes in several different models, each with a unique battery pack size that affects the charging time:
- Standard Range (SR) model: 247-mile range, charges from 0-100% in about 7 hours on a Level 2 charger.
- LT and RS models: 293-mile range, charges from 0-100% in about 7.5 hours on a Level 2 charger.
- SS model: 320-mile range, charges from 0-100% in about 8 hours on a Level 2 charger.
When using a standard 120V household outlet (Level 1 charging), the Blazer EV will take significantly longer to fully recharge - around 40-50 hours depending on the model.
Factors Affecting Charging Time
Several factors can impact the actual charging time for the Chevy Blazer EV:
- Battery size: Larger battery packs take longer to fully charge.
- Charging station power output: Level 2 chargers (240V) charge much faster than standard household outlets (Level 1).
- Battery temperature: Charging is most efficient when the battery is at an optimal temperature, around 70-80°F.
- State of charge: Charging slows down as the battery approaches a full 100% charge.
By using a Level 2 home or public charging station, Blazer EV owners can take advantage of the fastest possible charging times and get back on the road quickly.
