In a push to have EVs rule sales in coming years, carmakers are touting new models as having the range, price and features to rival gas-powered ones.
WARREN, Mich. — In their first rollouts of electric vehicles, America's automakers targeted people who value short-range economy cars. Then came EVs for luxury buyers and drivers of pickups and delivery vans.
Also coming next year: An electric Chevy Equinox, with a base price of about $30,000, whose price could give it particular appeal with modest-income households. There's also the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Volkswagen's ID.4 in the $40,000s and Nissan's upcoming Ariya around $47,000 with a lower-priced version coming.
"Going to the smaller utility segment gives you the opportunity to access the most customers in one segment," said Stephanie Brinley, principal analyst for S&P Global Mobility."To make a transition from to electric, you have to be in more space. You have to be in more price points. You have to be in more sizes."
Chevrolet says the Blazer will get a minimum of 247 miles per charge. Pricier high-end versions could go up to 320 miles . The Blazer will be available with Chevrolet's SS performance package with a zero-to-60 mph time of under four seconds. There will be a police version, too. "Most electric vehicle owners today own multiple vehicles, so they have an internal combustion vehicle to jump into depending on their needs," Barra said.
Last week, Manchin also rejected a slimmed-down version that included provisions to combat climate change. He indicated his support for just two items from Biden's broader agenda: Reducing prescription drug costs and bolstering subsidies for families to buy health insurance. His vote in an evenly split Senate would be needed for anything to pass.
