Criminals beware! The Chevy Blazer EV Police Pursuit Automobile (PPV) is within the palms of the coppers, and it affords some severe torque and acceleration. We obtained the prospect to not solely get behind the wheel of this practice BEV for regulation enforcement but additionally experience together with some officers in a simulated chase. Take a look at the total video under.
As we awaited the arrival of the passenger model of Chevy’s all-electric Blazer EV, the American automaker teased an intimidating variant within the works, designed particularly for the boys in blue. We obtained our first have a look at renderings of the Chevy Blazer EV Police Pursuit Automobile in the summertime of 2022 as the primary ‘pursuit-rated’ EV from Chevy ever made.
The custom-made BEV relies on the top-tier Chevy Blazer EV SS trim and was refit to satisfy particular Michigan State Police requirements for decent pursuits of perps. By August 2023, Chevy shared video footage of an precise Blazer EV Police Pursuit Automobile, full with a police-certified speedometer, heavy-duty suspension, underbody skid plates, and 20-inch metal wheels (seen under).

Police simply obtained much more sustainable with the Blazer EV
We not too long ago traveled across the Detroit metropolitan space to check drive the upcoming Chevy Silverado RST and Equinox EVs. You’ll have to attend for these impressions later this month, however as a sweetener, Chevy shocked the media with a break within the drives to go to a neighborhood police academy and see the Blazer EV Police Pursuit Automobiles up shut.
From afar and up shut, the PPVs are sharp and intimidating. They are often appreciated as a singular step in sustainable regulation enforcement autos, so long as you’re a bystander and never the one being pursued.
The police-certified all-electric Blazers appear like a regular police automobile up entrance, with radios, a laptop computer, and “safety” (don’t fear, the weapons in our EVs had been rubber). The backseat was chilly and uncomfortable (who knew?) however designed to maintain each the rear passengers and cops protected from each other.
There was not a lot to report again there besides the choice to maintain carbon fiber accents on the doorways. I’m positive loads of alleged criminals will say that’s a pleasant contact. The trunk leaves loads of room for police tools like riot gear, though I wasn’t allowed to strive it on.
Throughout our go to, I obtained to do some scorching laps within the Blazer EV outdoors of the police academy, which you’ll see within the footage under. Afterward, I hopped within the entrance seat with an officer who took me on the identical course at a lot larger speeds for a simulated chase. It was a blast.
