Chevrolet Equinox EV Now Available to Fleets

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV offers an electric vehicle with an expressive design, tailored navigational support, and an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles (from a full charge) on FWD models.

The interior seats five and provides a suite of standard and available driver assistance technologies, including a 17.7-inch-diagonal infotainment screen and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology on compatible roads. 

The Equinox EV, produced at GM's Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, facility, is now available to fleet and retail customers. The LS version's starting MSRP is $43,295. Later in the year, the base Equinox EV LT, with a starting MSRP of $34,995, will be available for ordering. 

Exterior Features and Design

Designers and engineers focused on style, space, safety, and value attributes with the Equinox EV. It has two trim levels — LT and RS — and is offered in FWD and AWD configurations.

Highlights include:

• The Ultium Platform enables sleek lines and sporty proportions.
• Walk-up lighting, front and rear lighting animation, and a unique light bar are available on mid- and up-level LT and RS trims.
• Standard 19-inch wheels, with available 21-inch wheels depending on the trim.
• AutoSense liftgate that can open hands-free when sensing the key fob is near the back of the vehicle.
• An available two-tone white roof on the LT and a black roof on the RS.

Interior Accents 

The Equinox EV offers personalized multi-color ambient lighting and an intelligent infotainment system with Google Built-in, which includes Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store. It also has numerous storage solutions from front to rear and up to 57.2 cubic feet of max cargo room with the rear seat folded.

In addition to the spacious cabin, the Equinox EV comes with heated front and rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, and a heated windshield wiper park feature, which helps keep the area around the wipers clear of ice buildup.

Adaptable EV Tech 

To make the EV transition seamless, support such as available navigation and route planning through the MyChevrolet app helps locate and plot routes to charging stations. Currently, the MyChevrolet app allows EV users access to over 174,000 public chargers throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

The Equinox EV delivers a list of standard safety features:

• Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.
• Rear Park Assist
• Reverse Automatic Braking
• Safety Alert Seat
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control

Super Cruise, Chevrolet's hands-free driver-assistance technology, is also available. It allows drivers to travel hands-free on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.

Equinox EV's Electric Capabilities

A standard front-wheel-drive system with GM's estimated 213 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque offers quick acceleration. An eAWD system with 288 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque is also available.

One-pedal driving allows the Equinox EV to accelerate and slow to a complete 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 stored in the battery pack to maximize the driving range.

The Equinox EV offers the latest in charging technology:

• Standard 11.5 kW Level 2 (AC) charging 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 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.
