The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s stop-sale finally concluded on Friday, ending a near-three-month hiatus. As production costs plummet, the Blazer EV debuts at a mere $51,000, making it eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax incentive.
The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s stop-sale order has been lifted, leading to a reduction in prices.
General Motors issued a stop-sale on the Chevrolet Blazer EV in late December, just four months after the order books opened.
The corporation has temporarily suspended its online transactions to address a software issue affecting the overall product quality. According to Scott Bell, Vice President of Chevrolet International, the company is aware that a limited number of Blazer EV owners have experienced several software quality issues.
General Motors announced that the stop-sale order pertained to a limited range of vehicles, citing no safety concerns as the reason for the decision. Last month, General Motors’ Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra announced that Chevrolet’s Blazer Electric Vehicle sales remain suspended.
General Motors CEO Mary Barra has deemed 2024 a “year of execution” for the company’s electric vehicle production, suggesting that GM is regaining momentum in its EV manufacturing efforts. As General Motors works to correct its autonomous vehicle technology, a major priority for the company is bringing fully functional self-driving cars to market, according to Mary Barra.
The General Motors’ Chief Executive Officer has announced that the company has overhauled its software development process and, more significantly, its validation process.
General Motors announced that the stop-sale order on certain vehicles has been lifted, effective Friday. Meanwhile, General Motors has unveiled a revised pricing strategy for the Chevrolet Blazer Electric, with lower costs to make the SUV more competitive in the market. The electric SUV has reclaimed the full $7,500 EV tax credit following an adjustment to its battery supply.
