The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a battery electriccompact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand since 2024. The Equinox EV features a design and underpinnings different from the ICE-powered Equinox.[2] Equinox EV was introduced in January 2022 in a set of images at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and was originally planned to go on sale in the fall of 2023 for the 2024 model year. Chevrolet dealers actually began receiving deliveries of the 2024 Equinox EV in May 2024.[3]
Equinox EV is built on GM’s BEV3 platform. For model years 2024 and 2025, Equinox EV uses the CCS1 / J1772 charging interface; for model years 2026 and beyond, the NACS / J3400 charging interface will be used instead.[4] All of GM’s electric vehicles (except the Spark EV)[5] gained access to the Tesla Supercharger network in September 2024.[6]
2024 Model Year
During its introduction, General Motors stated that Equinox EV would have a starting price of around US$30,000 in the United States and would be offered in various LT and RS trim levels.[7][8]
Trim levels were detailed in September 2022. The 2024 base 1LT trim was to have an estimated range of 250 mi (400 km), and produce 210 hp (213 PS; 157 kW) and 242 lb⋅ft (328 N⋅m; 33.5 kg⋅m) torque, but GM never actually produced the 2024 1LT trim. Non-base 2024 trims were 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS.
The Equinox EV is equipped with GM Ultium batteries which are shared with many other GM battery electric vehicles, including the similar but larger Chevrolet Blazer EV. A larger battery with 300 mi (480 km) range was to be optional on the 2024 1LT, and standard on 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS. For 2025 all trims use this larger battery, which provides an EPA-estimated range of 319 mi (513 km) for all front wheel drive versions.
All trim levels have optional all wheel drive, with dual motors producing 290 hp (294 PS; 216 kW) and 346 lb⋅ft (469 N⋅m; 47.8 kg⋅m) torque, with an estimated range of 280 mi (450 km).
A V2L (vehicle-to-load) system was to be optional for the 2024 3RS trim level.[1] However, GM deferred this capability to the 2025 model year, and as of September 2024 it remains unavailable even on 2025 vehicles.[9]
Cargo space is rated at 57.2 cu ft (1,620 L), which is nearly 7 cubic feet less than the ICE-powered Equinox due to its sleeker exterior design. No front cargo space ("frunk") is available as the hood houses propulsion systems and electronic systems instead.[1]
