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.[1]

Overview

During its introduction, General Motors stated that it will have a starting price of around in the United States and will be offered in LT and RS trim levels.[2] [3] The Equinox EV is equipped with GM Ultium batteries shared with other GM battery electric vehicles, including the larger Chevrolet Blazer EV, which launched before the Equinox EV, in spring 2023.

Trim levels were detailed in September 2022. The base 1LT trim will have an estimated range of 250miles, and produce 2100NaN0 and 242abbr=onNaNabbr=on torque. A larger battery with 300miles range will be optional on the 1LT, and standard on 2LT, 3LT, and RS. All trim levels have optional eAWD with dual motors producing 2900NaN0 and 346abbr=onNaNabbr=on torque, with an estimated range of 280miles. A V2L (vehicle-to-load) system will be optional for the 3RS trim level.[4]

Cargo space is rated at 57.20NaN0, 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 front drive unit and other electronics instead.
