Yeah...that's the thing. No doubt a Camaro EV could likely be setup to handle a bit better if they wanted to, but there's no reason the Blazer EV can't be just as fast as a Camaro EV. It's all in how GM wants to set it up really. One, two, or three motors, and then past that it's just software. How much power will GM engineers "program" into that particular vehicle? Being that these are all on the same platform, there's no more "well, that platform can't accommodate the V8". That's out the window. Now, aside from a little extra weight, and wind drag, the Blazer SS should/could be just as fast as a Camaro EV would be. Not saying that's a bad thing, but at the same time kind makes me wonder why would I ever buy a Camaro EV over something like this when its just as fast, probably not much more expensive, and way more practical.
If the ICE Blazer was sold with a 6.2 V8, the only reason I wouldn't be in one versus my Camaro SS is if it was priced way higher. (which by the way, I think the Camaro LT1 or 1SS are relative bargains in today's world)
