Also, theft issues have restricted my fair-weather seasonal use, which means I drive it less now (in addition to minimal winter driving).

None of things has anything to do with EV vs Ice.

Meanwhile, after driving my wife's eBlazer RS AWD (her car choice is hers, not mine), my impressions are favorable. It's decent no-fuss transportation. Power for highway entries or uphill passing situations is fine. I have noticed no drawbacks for this model as compared to owning it's predecessor iceBlazer RS. The biggest annoyance for me is the sound it makes while driving 25mph or less. I wish there was an option to change or disable it.
Now THAT is a mandate. The federal government actually does MANDATE that EVs produce an audible tone at low speeds. The “bell the cat” rule. Keeps blind people and inattentive people from getting run over in parking lots and such.
