Why this number
The Chevrolet Blazer EV (EPA data for the 2027 model year, the newest the EPA lists; dollar figures use 2026 electricity rates) uses 35.8 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle — the wall-outlet figure, so charging losses are already counted (look up your exact trim at fueleconomy.gov ). At the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh that puts the Blazer EV at about $6.09 per 100 miles — 6.09¢ a mile. That lands mid-pack: 40th of the 67 current models tracked here. Nothing about the running cost of the Blazer EV will surprise you in either direction, which for a SUV at 35.8 kWh/100 mi is a reasonable outcome.
What a Blazer EV costs to charge at every rate
The same Blazer EV costs $4.42 per 100 miles at Idaho’s 12.35¢ and $18.87 at Hawaii’s 52.72¢ — a 4.3× spread that is entirely the rate:
| Electricity rate | Per 100 miles | Full charge (~106 kWh) | Per year at 12,000 miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12¢/kWh | $4.30 | $12.67 | $516 |
| 15¢/kWh | $5.37 | $15.84 | $644 |
| 17¢/kWh (US avg) | $6.09 | $17.95 | $730 |
| 20¢/kWh | $7.16 | $21.12 | $859 |
| 25¢/kWh | $8.95 | $26.40 | $1,074 |
| 30¢/kWh | $10.74 | $31.68 | $1,289 |
| 35¢/kWh | $12.53 | $36.96 | $1,504 |
| 45¢/kWh | $16.11 | $47.52 | $1,933 |
Wall-side for the Blazer EV: EPA’s 35.8 kWh/100 mi is measured at the outlet, charger losses included; quick-fill your state above for your own figure.
That per-mile figure is the one to hold against gasoline: at 17¢/kWh the Blazer EV’s 6.09¢ a mile compares with about 13.6¢ for a 30-mpg gas car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026). The EV vs gas cost guide works the Blazer EV’s math in full — both formulas, and the electricity rate at which the advantage disappears.
Range: what a “full charge” of the Blazer EV really means
EPA combined range is about 295 miles. Multiplying that by the car’s efficiency gives roughly 106 kWh to refill a full range from empty, which is the honest way to think about a ‘full charge’ — battery capacity figures include a buffer you never actually use.
The Blazer EV on a public fast charger
On a public fast charger at about 48¢/kWh the Blazer EV costs $17.18 per 100 miles against $6.09 at home — 2.8× — or roughly $2,062 a year instead of $730 if it never sees a home outlet. Why a session costs more than the posted price for a Blazer EV (10–80% charging curve, idle fees, per-minute billing) is explained once on the cost-to-charge hub ; the EV time-of-use calculator nets an overnight rate against the Blazer EV’s $730 flat-rate figure.
The Blazer EV in cold weather
A hard winter lifts the Blazer EV from 35.8 to roughly 46.5 kWh/100 mi (the middle of the 20–40% rise real-world data shows), so $7.91 per 100 miles instead of $6.09 and an effective range nearer 227 miles than 295. The mechanics behind the Blazer EV’s winter penalty — cabin heat, battery chemistry, preconditioning from the wall — are on the hub ; the Blazer EV’s $730 annual figure above already averages the seasons.
Where the Blazer EV sits against other EVs
Its nearest neighbors on efficiency are the Genesis GV60 (35.6 kWh/100 mi) and the Mercedes-Benz EQE (36.1 kWh/100 mi). The Blazer EV at 35.8 kWh/100 mi sits against a set that runs from the Tesla Model Y at 26.9 kWh/100 mi, and the least efficient is the GMC Hummer EV at 67.8 — a spread that changes annual charging cost by $834 a year at 17¢/kWh and 12,000 miles. And if a SUV like the Blazer EV is the fixed requirement, the cheapest SUV to run tracked here is the Tesla Model Y at $549 a year — $182 less than the Blazer EV.
Trims: does the Blazer EV version you pick change the bill?
The EPA rates 4 configurations of the 2027 Blazer EV, and they are not close: 32.3 kWh/100 mi for the most efficient, 39.7 for the least, a 23% spread. At 12,000 miles that is about $151 a year between the cheapest and most expensive version of the same Blazer EV. Bigger wheels, all-wheel drive and performance tunes are usually what separates them — worth knowing before you tick the options box.
How it compares inside the Chevrolet range
The Blazer EV at 35.8 kWh/100 mi sits among 4 Chevrolet EVs tracked here, running from 28.2 (Bolt EV) to 49.9 (Silverado EV). Also on this site: Chevrolet Bolt EV , Chevrolet Equinox EV , Chevrolet Silverado EV .
The tax question for the Blazer EV, answered plainly
Nothing about the Blazer EV changes that: the rules are the same for every EV, and the full 2026 position — §30D, §25E, the ended §30C charger credit, state programs — is in the energy tax credit guide and on the cost-to-charge hub .

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to fully charge a Chevrolet Blazer EV?
About $17.95 at the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh. Refilling 295 miles of EPA range draws roughly 106 kWh from the wall — the EPA figure is measured at the outlet, so charger and cable losses are already in it. At 12¢/kWh that is $12.67; at 45¢/kWh it is $47.52.
What does a Blazer EV cost per mile in electricity?
About 6.09¢ per mile for the Blazer EV at 17¢/kWh, measured at the wall. For the Blazer EV that is the number to set against gasoline: a 30-mpg car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026) costs about 13.6¢ a mile.
Is it cheaper to charge the Blazer EV at home or at a public fast charger?
Home, for the Blazer EV: about $6.09 per 100 miles at 17¢/kWh against roughly $17.18 on a 48¢ fast charger — 2.8 times as much, before idle fees and per-minute billing on some networks.
Does the Blazer EV qualify for a federal EV tax credit in 2026?
No — the Blazer EV, like every EV bought after September 30, 2025, gets $0 federal purchase credit (§30D and §25E ended); the charger credit (§30C) ended June 30, 2026. State and utility EV programs are unaffected.
How we calculated this
Worked for the Blazer EV: 35.8 kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × 17¢ = $6.09 per 100 miles; 295 mi × 35.8 ÷ 100 = 106 kWh, × $0.17 = $17.95 per full charge; $6.09 × 12,000 ÷ 100 = $730 a year. The Blazer EV’s gasoline comparison is 12,000 ÷ 30 mpg × $4.07 = $1,628.
