As one of the nation’s first owners of General Motors’ new electric Chevrolet Blazer, James Hattin was loving the SUV—before the problems began. Research site Edmunds reported last month that it experienced 23 problems with its Blazer EV during two months of testing, including inoperable window switches and trouble with the infotainment system. Among the troubles reported were problems with charging, batteries and electric motors on models from several major brands. The rise in problems reported by EV owners goes beyond the electric system that propels the car. Chevy dealer David Ferraez said he only has one Blazer EV held up by the stop-sale order but has a few dozen scheduled for delivery to his metro New York store.
