I was curious as to why the Equinox EV appears to have flush mounted door handles while the Blazer does not? Since this image came off the Chevy website I would assume it is more than a rendering, but I guess we will see.
Perhaps, but the same would & does hold true for the door covering the charge port. Time will tell!Don't know? I've read where the flush door handles can be very problematic in cold weather climates. Those could likely be gone in the actual production version.

True...Good thing we don't live in Norway!Perhaps, but the same would & does hold true for the door covering the charge port. Time will tell!
I agree, somewhat.these flush handles are not best as opening a door becomes a 2-step operation versus one for normal handles
Kia/Hyundai have a good design for flush handles. When you walk up to the car, the cars unlock and the handles pop out, then becoming a 1 hand operation.these flush handles are not best as opening a door becomes a 2-step operation versus one for normal handles
That is very similar to the Cadillac Lyriq, hopefully the Blazer EV will get the same as it's GM cousin.I agree, somewhat.
A (Tesla) Model 3 door can definitely be opened with one hand, but it's more of a task than a traditional handle.
Some of the flush handles come out automatically as you approach the car, so it then becomes a 'normal' process to open.
(I can't figure out how that works if you park in a driveway and you walk by it frequently. Guess don't keep your keys in your pocket unless you're leaving)
I like what the Mach-e does (push a button on the pilar and the door opens, and you just pull on the door - no handles.
You're spot on I missed it!You can see the outline of the charger faintly on the drivers side. Same location as the blazer, but undoubtedly will not have the motorized charge door at least on the base model.
