New EV with 319 miles range
qualifies for $7,500 tax credit

(May 16, 2024) DETROIT —  Chevrolet’s all-electric Equinox EV is tailored to help customers make a seamless, confident and uncompromising transition to an EV. Equinox EV rounds out an electric Chevy portfolio that covers major segments, including full-size trucks, midsize SUVs and compact SUVs. The Equinox EV boasts an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles on FWD models. 

The first available Equinox EV will retail for $43,395 excluding destination charge, which was not disclosed by Chevrolet. The base LT model will be available later this year with a starting price of $34,995. The Equinox qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit according to Chevrolet.

“We are at a turning point where EVs will be the mainstream choice for the next generation of customers and Equinox EV will lead this charge for us,” said Mary Barra, Chair and CEO of General Motors. “With the flexibility of GM’s Ultium Platform, we are bringing to market vehicles at nearly every price point and for every purpose.

“Chevrolet is now positioned to offer a wide array of EVs,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “We know truck and SUV customers better than anyone and we’ve channeled that insight and experience into our new EVs.”

A standard front-wheel-drive system with GM estimated 213 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque offers quick acceleration and a fun driving experience for everyday tasks, with a 288-horsepower and 333 lb-ft torque eAWD system available. One-Pedal Driving is standard and allows the Equinox EV to accelerate and slow to a full stop, using only the accelerator. It’s paired with regenerative braking, which can convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle’s forward momentum into electricity that’s stored in the battery pack to maximize the driving range.

The Equinox EV also packs the latest in charging technology: Standard 11.5 kW Level 2 (AC) charging, which can add up to 34 miles of range per hour of charging, per GM estimates; Standard DC fast-charging capability of up to 150 kW, which enables approximately 70 miles of range to be added in 10 minutes, per GM estimates.

GM covers the Equinox EV’s battery with an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, in addition to the vehicle’s standard bumper-to-bumper coverage for added peace of mind.

Chevrolet says the two-wheel drive models will provide up the 319 miles range. AWD models are expected to provide 285 miles range.

With the Equinox EV, designers and engineers focused on style, space, safety and value attributes that made the gas-powered Equinox second to the Silverado in Chevy sales and elevated them with expressive design, electrifying capability and effortless EV technology.

In addition to the Ultium-based propulsion technologies, key features include a large, 17.7-inch-diagonal infotainment screen, a strong suite of standard and available driver assistance technologies, and available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology on compatible roads.

“The Equinox EV is an EV for everyone,” said Bell. “It’s an affordable game-changer, offering an uncompromising experience, with more features, that won’t change your daily routine — except that you will no longer have to stop at the gas station.”
