Chevrolet has expanded its Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) fleet to include the Blazer EV into the mix. General Motor’s initiative is to become an all-electric manufacturer by 2035 to civilian and PPV vehicles alike. The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV will be the first pursuit-rated all-electric Chevrolet in more than 60 years of tailoring vehicles for law enforcement. While more specifications along with range will be revealed closer to launch, in the first quarter of 2024, we do know that it will be based off the Blazer EV SS retail model. 

 

Last week General Motors CEO, Mary Barra, announced on an investors’ call that the Chevrolet Silverado EV has received a lot of support and interest from potential customers resulting in 150,000 reservations! What’s even more exciting is that 65 percent of the reservations received are from conquest customers, or new customers not already affiliated with a General Motors brand, allowing us to branch out to even more people! Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort, Lansing and Bradley has Illinois’ Largest Chevy Inventory, including a great selection of Silverados!
