(March 11, 2024) Chevrolet has resumed sales of the 2024 Blazer EV, more than two months after sidelining it to fix a software quality problem. The automaker also has cut the midsize electric crossover's price by at least 9 percent, pushing all three available versions below $50,000 after shipping and a $7,500 federal tax credit. GM made a sourcing change on some ineligible parts so the Blazer EV is again eligible for the full credit, according to Automotive News.

The least expensive configuration available now starts at $50,195 with shipping before the tax credit, down from $56,715 previously. Current owners will be reimbursed for the price difference when they bought the vehicle, Chevrolet said.

"We are excited to have the Chevrolet Blazer EV available again, this time with a compelling price, enhanced features and functionality and qualifying for the full consumer tax credit," Scott Bell, vice president of global Chevrolet, said in a statement.

GM halted sales of the Blazer EV in late December to fix software issues that included sporadic problems with vehicle screens and during charging attempts at some public fast chargers. Chevy said in a statement Friday that it also updated the vehicle with revised graphics in the driver information center, including the battery percentage display, and customizable ambient lighting in multiple colors.

When the stop-sale began, Chevrolet said the issues were not safety-related and affected an unspecified but "limited" number of vehicles.
