2027 Chevy Blazer EV drops CCS for Tesla-style NACS port

GM is continuing its shift to Tesla’s NACS charging standard, and the 2027 Chevy Blazer EV is next in line.

The 2027 Chevy Blazer EV will feature a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port instead of the CCS connector used on earlier models. That change puts the Blazer EV in step with General Motors’ broader plan to move its EV lineup over to NACS, a transition the automaker said would start with 2026 models.

The Blazer EV isn’t the first to make the switch. The 2027 Chevy Bolt is also set to use NACS, while the 2026 Cadillac Optiq was GM’s first EV to roll out with the new port.

If you’ve been following the charging space, then you will have seen this coming. NACS is quickly becoming the standard in North America, largely because it gives drivers access to Tesla’s massive Supercharger network – still the most reliable and widely available fast-charging option in the US.
