- A handful of dealerships are adding thousands of dollars onto the price of the new Equinox EV.
- Two separate dealers have $5,000 markups, while another wants $4,750.
- A number of dealers have the model listed at MSRP, so it pays to shop around.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV is massively important as it’s the first truly affordable electric crossover. In particular, an entry-level variant will arrive later this year with a price tag of just $34,995. With the $7,500 federal tax credit factored in, the price drops to a mere $27,495.
That’s an impressively low number, but a handful of greedy dealers are already spoiling things. After a quick search, we found numerous crossovers listed for thousands above MSRP.

Chevrolet of Puente Hills was one of the worst offenders as they slapped a $5,000 “market adjustment” onto their Equinox EV RS. As a result, the $51,394 crossover carries a $56,394 price tag.
It’s a similar scenario at Covina Hills Chevrolet as the stealership is trying to gouge consumers out of $5,000. This means their $48,094 crossover is listed for $53,094.
Outside of California, Washington’s Lee Johnson Chevrolet has a $4,000 markup on their Equinox EV RS. This boosts the $50,795 sticker price to $54,795.
Meanwhile in Texas, Peters Chevrolet has a $4,750 markup on their EV. They’re seemingly trying to justify it by noting there’s limited availability.
Needless to say, steer clear of the aforementioned dealers as a number of others actually care about their customers and are asking MSRP. Among the apparent good guys are Florida’s Palm Chevrolet, Texas’ Capitol Chevrolet, and New York’s LeadCar Chevrolet Yorkville.
As always, it pays to shop around as a few minutes and a slightly longer drive could save you thousands of dollars.
