Equinox EV’s all-new Equinox EV uses newly-contoured sheet steel based on the Chevy Silverado EV and Chevy Blazer EV. It’s the much-anticipated $30,000 EV Tesla has yet to bring to fruition.

Mary Barra, CEO, and chair of General Motors stated in a statement that Equinox Electric Vehicles will be the top choice for customers in the future. Thanks to the flexibility of GM’s Ultium Platform, we can bring to market vehicles at nearly every price point and purpose.

2024 Chevy Equinox Electric Vehicle: What’s New?

The Chevy Equinox EV is a new hybrid, a battery-electric crossover that’s based on GM’s Ultium electrical architecture. Equinox EV can accommodate five people, and the rear seats provide a cargo space of 57 cubic feet. It will be available at Chevy dealerships starting in fall 2023. The 2024 model is available with either a single-motor FWD variant or a dual-motor variant with all-wheel driving. You have five trim options to choose from: 1LT to 2LT; 3LT to 3LT; and 3LT to 3LT.

The Base Chevy Blazer Electric Vehicle 1LT will be available at $30,000 before destination and tax credits. It is a fantastic deal compared to comparable EVs like the VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The 2024 Chevy Equinox FWD is powered only by one front-mounted electric motor. It generates 210 horsepower and 242 lb of torque. It has a range of 250 miles. The driving range can be increased to a GM-estimated 300 miles by purchasing a larger battery.

Chevy claims the AWD Equinox Electric Electric EV has a range of up to 220 miles when used with a larger battery. Regenerative braking and one-pedal driving are included in the lineup.

The MyChevy app can be used to locate charging stations or plot routes.

Equinox EV3RS is a range-enhancing model with 51 miles of juice-up range. The charger can charge Equinox EV3RS EAWD up to 19.2 kW.
