Over 60k for AWD before options and delivery fees. Yikes!

Yeah. Who can afford that??

Fisker blows this away with their 37k offering.

Average new car price was $48k source. I wouldn't expect a brand new EV model to come in below that.

Is it me or does the headline not exactly match what is written in the article?

It sounds like the first version of the Blazer that will be released will cost that much, but that's the top trim, high end model. It doesn't sound like Chevy has said the Blazer EV will actually start at $57k for the lower trim versions, it's simply that they are opening production making the more expensive model (which is pretty typical of how the industry works).

A fully kitted out Blazer EV for $57k is not a bad price at all.
