Electric vs. Hybrid: Which Is Better for NJ Drivers?

The Chevy Blazer EV Deserves a Spot in the Conversation

Nielsen Editorial’s latest guide on electric vs. hybrid vehicles (and which is better for NJ drivers) highlights some solid picks for Garden State commuters, but we couldn’t help but notice one glaring omission: the Chevrolet Blazer EV. Because if you’re talking about electric cars for NJ drivers that bring both brains and bold style to the road, the Blazer EV absolutely deserves a seat at the table (or the charging station).

This all-electric SUV isn’t just about looking good in your driveway in Morris Plains (though it definitely does that). It’s also about real-world practicality for the way Jersey drivers actually live. The Blazer EV offers up to 324 miles of range, meaning it can handle weekly commutes, weekend Shore trips, and everything in between without constantly hunting for a charger. And when you do need to top off, GM’s fast-charging capability means you’re back on Route 80 before your coffee cools.

The Blazer EV’s interior is more high-end lounge than basic commuter ride — with available Super Cruise™ hands-free driving (hello, Turnpike convenience), a sleek digital dash, and enough space for kids, gear, and grocery hauls from ShopRite and Costco. It’s the kind of EV that makes you forget you ever worried about range anxiety or boring interiors.

At Nielsen Chevrolet, we know choosing between electric vs. hybrid cars can feel like a big leap — especially when you’re navigating New Jersey’s ever-changing traffic, tolls, and weather. That’s why our team is here to help you compare your options without the pressure. If you’re curious about what a premium EV like the Blazer EV can do for your commute, your wallet, and your weekends, we’re here to help.
