Some of the improvements include customizable multi-color lighting, new graphics in the driver information screen, with a battery percentage display.

Fall in price

These models were already eligible for a federal rebate through the iZEV program ($5,000), with rebates offered in British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories. But for Quebec residents, in particular, the RS variant now qualifies for a $7,000 provincial rebate.

Here are the newly announced prices for the model:

• – Blazer EV 2LT AWD $60,370 (was $63,370)
• – Blazer EV RS AWD $67,370 (was $73,370)
• – RWD Blazer EV RS $67,370 (was $73,370)

Note that the price includes freight and PDI, a $100 weather charge, and a dealer fee of up to $699. This is why the RS model is eligible for Quebec, despite the fact that the price shown here is more than $65,000, the limit currently set by the government program. MSRP is less than $65,000.
