Chevrolet raises 2027 Blazer EV LT and RS prices by $300, SS unchanged
By Eve
According to EV Charging News Blog, the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV launched in August at the same prices as the previous model year, but Chevrolet adjusted them in October. The LT and RS trims rose by $300, while the top SS trim kept its price. The base LT now starts at an MSRP of $45,000, with a destination fee of $1,795 bringing the effective minimum to $46,795, and an all-wheel-drive option costs $3,000.
Why it matters
A small but real price rise on volume trims shows how US manufacturers are adjusting EV pricing mid-cycle, which can influence driver uptake and the vehicle mix that charging operators plan around. Fleet and site buyers tracking the Blazer EV should note the higher entry cost when forecasting demand.

Chevrolet Equinox EV outsells Tesla Model Y under Canada's federal rebate programme, reviewer reports
The Cool Down, citing a YouTube review by Simply Gregster, says nearly 8,000 Equinox EV purchases were made under Canada's federal EV rebate programme through September, against roughly 4,300 for the Tesla Model Y. Some Canadian listings reached 37,000 to 39,000 Canadian dollars ($26,000 to $29,000) after rebates, from an LT1 starting price of 46,299 Canadian dollars ($33,106), with a 5,000 dollar ($3,600) federal rebate and a 2,000 dollar ($1,400) Quebec rebate running through the end of 2026. The front wheel drive LT2 reviewed has an 85 kilowatt hour battery, 220 horsepower and up to 319 miles (513 kilometres) of range, while the all wheel drive version offers 300 horsepower and about 307 miles (494 kilometres).
Why it matters
Rebate-supported pricing is putting a long range, mainstream vehicle from a non Tesla brand into Canadian driveways in volume, which broadens the mix of drivers that charging networks need to serve. The Quebec incentive window to the end of 2026 gives a reference point for planning demand in that market, though the figures here come from a reviewer's reporting.
Volvo opens UK orders for XC90 T8 Long Range PHEV at £75,765
Volvo has opened UK orders for the XC90 T8 Long Range Plug-in Hybrid at £75,765, positioned above the £66,270 B5 Mild Hybrid. It offers 101 miles of electric range, more than double the previous T8 PHEV, from a 41kWh battery paired with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 461PS. Total range is 1,096 miles, the official rating is 941.6mpg, and 0 to 62mph takes 5.2 seconds.
Why it matters
A 41kWh battery and 101 miles of electric range could shift more PHEV driver journeys onto electric running, which matters for workplace and home charging demand and for fleet charging policy. Buyers and CPOs weighing PHEV uptake in premium fleets should note the larger battery when planning charger provision.
Mercedes-Benz adds 310 kW all-wheel-drive VLE 400 4MATIC to its electric luxury van range
Mercedes-Benz is expanding the configuration options for its all-electric VLE Grand Limousine, with a new VLE 400 4MATIC, extra equipment packages and more affordable entry-level versions. The dual-motor 4MATIC produces a combined 310 kW, uses a battery with 115 kWh of usable capacity and offers a WLTP range of up to 654 km (406 miles). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, and the van can be configured with up to eight seats.
Why it matters
A large premium electric van with a 115 kWh battery and over 650 km of WLTP range adds to the pool of high-capacity vehicles that chauffeur, shuttle and family users will bring to charging sites. Operators planning hubs and fleet depots should consider how bigger batteries and multi-seat vehicles shape bay size, dwell time and power needs.
