Chevrolet built an electric Bolt-powered K5 Blazer for SEMA

The K5 Blazer is a classic SUV with a huge fanbase.

Unfortunately, like most classic SUVs, it's dirty, slow and inefficient.

Chevy sought to fix that by transplanting the electric heart of a Bolt EV into the Blazer.

It keeps four-wheel drive by retaining an automatic transmission and transfer case.

The EV swap was completed using 90% stock Bolt parts.

The best bit is that the Bolt motor is more powerful than the old 400 cubic-inch V8 it replaces.

The Bolt's 60 kilowatt-hour battery pack just gets bolted into the cargo area, though, which isn't ideal.

This is will be sold as an Electric Connect and Cruise package and installed by a network of specially trained shops.
