The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a compelling electric car for its low price point, with the best range-to-price ratio in the entire industry, undercutting the Volkswagen ID.4’s sticker price by $6,165 yet traveling an additional 113 EPA-rated miles.
For current owners of a non-GM vehicle made in 2010 or later, they can receive a $1,500 discount and Costco members are eligible for a $1,000 discount, with the offers stackable.
Dealers are currently advertising 2025 Equinox EV LTs with steep discounts, potentially allowing some buyers to secure a new high-range EV for around $23,000.
The Equinox EV has a well-performing tech spec including an 85.0 kWh usable battery pack, with the base FWD version capable of traveling up to 319 miles on a charge and the AWD version managing 307 miles.
However, the Equinox EV is relatively heavy compared to other non-luxury electric crossovers such as the Model Y, with Tom Moloughney recording a 20 to 80% charge time of 34 minutes compared to the Kia EV6 crossover at just 17 minutes.
The base LT version of the car comes with basic features but offers select added features in specific packages, whereas the RS version includes sporty 21-inch black wheels and leatherette seating material, with dealers often incentivizing the higher-end variants.
Despite being not the perfect electric vehicle, the Equinox EV offers excellent value at its base price point, since it undercuts and outranges other crossovers on the market, with incentives making the car even more affordable.
We recommend the base version over the pricier plush models or other crossovers with costly packages, but with prices as low as $23,000, for interested buyers there is no reason not to buy one.
The Equinox EV is not just a low-priced electric car, its sleek styling and range make it a compelling option compared to other more expensive EVs.
