The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand since 2024. It was introduced in January 2022 in a set of images at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and was planned to go on sale in the fall of 2023 for the 2024 model year. The Equinox EV features a design and underpinnings different from the ICE-powered Equinox.^[2]

Overview[edit]

During its introduction, General Motors stated that it will have a starting price of around US$30,000 in the United States and will be offered in LT and RS trim levels. The Equinox EV will be equipped with GM Ultium batteries shared with other GM battery electric vehicles. The larger Chevrolet Blazer EV will launch before the Equinox EV, in spring 2023.^[3]^[4]

Trim levels were detailed in September 2022. The base 1LT trim will 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. A larger battery with 300 mi (480 km) range will be optional on the 1LT, and standard on 2LT, 3LT, and RS. All trim levels will offer optional eAWD 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 will be optional for the 3RS trim level.^[1]

Cargo space is rated at 57.2 cu ft (1,620 L), nearly 7 cubic-feet less than the ICE-powered Equinox due to its sleeker exterior design. No front cargo space ("frunk") is available, the hood houses front drive unit and other electronics instead.^[1]
