The Chevrolet Equinox EV will hit the market from a competitive $34,995 in entry-level 1LT FWD guise and top out at just under $46,800, excluding a $1,395 destination fee.
When Chevrolet first presented the Equinox EV in September 2022, it claimed it would be priced from “around $30,000.” While it hasn’t quite been able to hit that mark, a figure of $34,995 remains competitive and does allow it to significantly undercut the most affordable Tesla Model Y which starts at $42,990. Importantly, the Equinox EV qualifies for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit, meaning it can be purchased for as little as $27,495.

All front-wheel drive versions of the Equinox EV offer an EPA-certified range of 319 miles (514 km). Sitting above the 1LT base model is the 2LT priced at $43,295. It is followed by the 2RS starting at $44,795, the 3LT from $45,295, and the flagship 3RS is available from $46,795. Chevrolet has not yet announced pricing for the all-wheel drive versions of the Equinox but says they have an EPA-estimated range of 285 miles (459 km).
Powering the FWD models is a single electric motor with 210 hp and 242 lb-ft (327 Nm) of torque while the all-wheel drive versions will hit the market with 290 hp and 346 lb-ft (469 Nm). The carmaker has not yet announced the capacity of the battery pack.
What we do know is that the Equinox EV offers 11.5 kW Level 2 home charging that can add 51 miles (82 km) of range every hour. Find a DC fast-charging station and it can charge up to 150 kW, enough to add 70 miles (113 km) of range in just 10 minutes. A handy feature the Equinox EV has but the Tesla Model Y doesn’t is a vehicle-to-load function.
