Key Points:
- The Chevrolet Blazer EV Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) offers 498 horsepower from dual electric motors and is the second-fastest PPV in Michigan State Police testing, making it a powerful alternative to traditional V8 police cars.
- Used Blazer EV PPVs are becoming available on the market for under $30,000, presenting an affordable option compared to new high-horsepower vehicles which typically cost over $56,000.
- The Blazer EV PPV is based on the high-performance Blazer SS but is specifically tuned for police use, limiting output to 498 hp and 571 lb-ft of torque while maintaining strong acceleration and a top speed of 130 mph.
- Unlike civilian models, the police version features specialized electrical architecture to support law enforcement equipment, along with enhanced brakes, suspension, and skid plates tailored for police operations.
- Despite their capabilities, the supply of used Blazer EV PPVs is limited, with only a few available nationwide, and these vehicles often come without police lights but may still have equipment like bull bars.
