General Motors (GM) said it is resuming sales and cutting the price of its Chevrolet Blazer EV after software quality issues prompted the largest US automaker to halt deliveries in December 2023, news agency Reuters reported on March 8.

GM said it has made significant software updates addressing concerns from early owners including customizable multi-color ambient lighting, revised Driver Information Center graphics with battery percentage display and more. Current Blazer owners will get a software update to address the issues.

The automaker also announced a price cut of the Blazer by about $5,600 to $6,500 based on the trim level. The Blazer has regained eligibility for a US $7,500 EV tax credit after new battery sourcing rules from the US Treasury on Jan. 1 made many EVs ineligible.

The Reuters report further stated that the Blazer price cuts and restored tax credit bring the effective price for qualified buyers down to $42,695 from the original $56,715 for the lowest-priced model. Other automakers, including Ford Motor have cut EV prices in recent months.
