Equinox EV Tour and Driving Impressions - Great EV for the Masses

Chevy has a winner on their hands. This Equinox EV is going to be a sales hit. The pricing is competitive, the 85 kWh battery pack offers good range, the software is good! And on top of that, there is very low learning curve, it's a car my mother can get into and drive away without instructions.

15 minutes charging range test:    • Equinox EV - 15 Minute Charge Range Test  

The single motor FWD variant is torque-y enough to find gaps in city traffic, but loses grunt above 100kmh/60mph on the highway. But drivers who want a quicker ride can option an additional motor on the rear axle for a total system output of 300 hp (for 2025+) .

I wish the Equinox EV charged faster than 150 kW, because it offers such a comfortable ride for highway cruising. But 150 kW is still acceptable for short to medium road trips beyond your initial range.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced electric SUV in 2025, definitely check out the Equinox EV. The 2026 MY cars are going into production later this summer with a native NACS port too, for easier Supercharger access.
