Editor's analysis
Outstanding range-per-dollar value in a compact crossover.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV is the budget electric crossover the mainstream market has awaited. Starting in the mid-$30,000s, front-wheel-drive models earn an outstanding EPA rating of 319 miles per charge—far outstripping similarly priced competitors. Built on GM’s Ultium battery platform, it accepts DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, restoring about 70 miles of range in 10 minutes. Inside, the cabin features a segment-leading 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in navigation and battery preconditioning. While GM’s controversial decision to exclude Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will deter some, the native Google Maps routing and physical climate knobs function smoothly. With pleasant highway ride compliance and roomy seating for five, it delivers unmatched range-per-dollar.
