Electric vehicles' increasing prominence has led automakers worldwide to ratchet up their commitment toward sustainable transportation options. Two such groundbreaking models are the Kia EV6 and Chevy Blazer EV widely recognized as among the most innovative cars in the market today. The Kia EV6 is a brilliantly decked-out crossover SUV with a strikingly sleek design that highlights its extraordinary capabilities better: a range of up to 310 miles on a single full charge in the long-range mode which is impressive by any measure. Its battery is highly efficient and allows for speedy recharging delivering about 80 percent power in very little time at maximum output levels.

Alternatively, the Chevy Blazer EV's aesthetically pleasing exterior aligns with its fantastic performance statistics - capable of traveling around 320 miles, thanks largely to its large battery pack and a dual-electric motor system that generates horsepower upwards of 557 on the top-of-the-line SS model! Its acceleration time matches highly-priced models. Ultimately, both models thoroughly deserve consideration from buyers interested in making environmentally conscious gadget-rich purchases because they epitomize groundbreaking design innovations, which are the beginning of what many predict will usher in a new era of automotive transportation standards.

The GT version features a noteworthy cutting-edge dual-motor setup producing 576 horsepower. This is 19 horsepower more than the Chevy Blazer's top-end model, which is the first electric Chevy SS model, that comes in handy but not as advanced with its combined output of 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque. The Kia EV6's superior power rating provides a more than adequate 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 3.2 seconds compared to the Chevy Blazer EV's four seconds.

2 The Kia EV6 Is The Cheaper Of The Two

The Kia EV6 is one of the most compelling new entries in the EV market with its futuristic design, advanced technology, and impressive performance capabilities, but the aspect that has won praise the most from critics and consumers alike is the fact that for what it offers, the Kia EV6 is cheaper than its rivals, including the Chevy Blazer EV.

3 The Chevy Blazer EV Has A Slightly Better Driving Range

The battery range of an EV determines how far it can travel on a full charge. It is a major aspect for buyers constantly engaging in long-distance trips. The Chevy Blazer EV has a strong edge over the Kia EV6 with its better battery range. The Chevy Blazer EV can travel up to 320 miles on a full charge, while the longest battery range of the Kia EV6 offers up to 310 miles of range. This is a significant advantage not just for long-distance traveling, but for daily commutes. The Blazer EV's battery range comes from a large 102-kWh battery pack, which is among the biggest electric SUV batteries. The superior performance of the Kia EV6 aside, the Blazer EV's better battery range offers drivers the peace of mind that allows travelers to enjoy their long-distance driving.

4 The EV6 Lets You Get Back On The Road Faster After Charging

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles means automakers have to keep looking for new ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors. The Kia EV6 has a clear advantage over the Chevy Blazer EV because it makes use of a powerful 800-volt electrical system that allows it to charge at rapid speeds of up to 350 kW compared to the 190 kW available to the Blazer EV. Using a compatible DC fast charger, the EV6 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 10 minutes, compared to over 20 minutes for the Chevy Blazer EV to reach the same level of charge. This is a significant advantage for the Kia EV6 because, owners who are frequently on the go and need to cut down wait times at charging stations, get to recharge their vehicles quickly.

5 The Blazer EV Can Haul More Luggage Than The EV6

The Chevy Blazer EV has a boot with a total cargo volume of 30.5 cubic feet with the rear seats in their upright position. It further expands to 64.2 cubic feet when those rear seats are folded down. In comparison, the Kia EV6 is fitted with only 24.4 cubic feet of space with the rear seats upright, and it only expands to a maximum cargo volume of 50.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. This significant difference makes the Chevy Blazer EV a better choice to market to families who need to shop in bulk and have to transport large items frequently. Regardless of if you are hauling sports equipment, luggage, or other large items, the Blazer EV is equipped with ample space to accommodate these needs.

6 The Blazer EV's Larger Infotainment Screen Is Much Larger

The Blazer EV's larger 17.7-inch touchscreen display, diagonally tilted to the driver for ease of usage while driving is significantly larger than the 12.3-inch screen found in the Kia EV6. It also comes with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center that works similarly to that found in the Kia EV6. It also has an illuminated front light bar with an animated bowtie. In the SS trim, the Super Cruise driver assistance system is available. In addition, the Chevy Blazer EV infotainment is expected to also contain a suite of entertainment features similar to the Kia EV6 such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Sirius XM radio, over-the-air update compatibility, a premium sound system, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

7 The Blazer EV Hasn't Been Tested For Safety Yet

The EV6 got awarded a 5-star overall front and side crash NHTSA rating, and it has excellent safety technologies including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, crash imminent braking, and dynamic brake support as standard equipment. The IIHS gave it a Top Safety Pick+ award, which is the highest honor it gives any vehicle per year. It received the highest rating in every section rated. In contrast, the Blazer EV hasn't hit the market and although it's expected to receive excellent safety ratings from the NHTSA and the IIHS in keeping with the success of the gas-powered Blazer, the EV6 has already proven to not only be good but the best. The advanced safety features that both of these SUVs have include:

• Automated emergency braking
• Forward-collision warning
• Lane-departure warning
• Blind-spot monitoring

8 The EV6 Can Tow Far More Than The Blazer EV

Although electric vehicles are not usually associated with towing capacity, the Kia EV6 offers a towing capacity of over 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg), which is significantly higher than the 1,500 pounds supported by the Blazer EV. This makes the EV6 an ideal option to tow larger items, boats, or small trailers. The Kia EV6's dual electric motors encourage higher towing capacity. On the GT trim, it generates a combined power output of up to 576 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. This powerful torque distribution system, combined with its advanced battery systems and its proven Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), translates the vehicle into a capable hauler. This makes the EV6 an excellent choice for emergency moments when there's a requirement for the ability to tow a variety of loads.

9 Unlike The EV6, The Blazer EV Is Offered In AWD, FWD, And RWD

The Chevy Blazer EV offers drivers a unique advantage of the most extreme case of versatility. The ability to select from all three different drive modes, all-wheel drive (AWD), front-wheel drive (FWD), and rear-wheel drive (RWD), is a level of versatility that doesn't come around often. Few other vehicles offer this level of versatility in terms of available drivetrain configurations and this feature makes the Blazer EV stand out in a league of its own. The AWD option helps drivers enjoy enhanced traction and stability in all weather conditions, making it the ideal option for off-roaders and those living in areas with harsh weather. The FWD mode ensures energy efficiency is improved, while the RWD mode provides enthusiasts with a more engaging and sporty driving experience.

10 The Blazer EV Has A Faster Home Charging System

The available 240V charging system can charge the Blazer EV at speeds of 11.5 kW which is 0.5 kW more than what's available on the EV6. In a battery as large as the Chevy's, the difference is significant. It can charge in full in almost nine hours. Although the Kia EV6 charges fully in seven hours, it has a smaller 77.4 kWh battery. Using Level 2 charging, a dual-level cord is available for home charging at 240-volt. The fast home charging system uses a PowerUp wall charger that supports 11.5 kW speeds. This system can be mounted indoors and outdoors. It includes a charging cord that is 25 feet long and can easily be connected, detached and conveniently stored. It is also equipped with Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity to enable owners to monitor it easily.
