EV MOTOR, PERFORMANCE, AND POWER

Moving to the inside mechanics of the all-new 2024 Chevy Equinox EV, you see a single electric motor, a GM Ultium battery, and an EPA-estimated 319 miles on FWD models. This electric model is also perky, offering 213 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque standard. 

You can also upgrade to have the available eAWD system to receive a more powerful 288 horsepower and 346 pound-feet torque. Either way, the electric version of Equinox is very fast and smooth and doesn't use a single drop of fuel.

For drivetrain specs, this electric SUV comes in both FWD and AWD, with FWD models seeing 213 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, you get the faster and higher torque figures with AWD. Your acceleration in the all-wheel-drive Equinox EV also impresses, at 0 to 60 MPH in 5.9 seconds.

  • Motor: Single electric
  • Battery: GM Ultium lithium-ion
  • Horsepower: 213-288
  • Torque: 236-346 pound-feet
  • Range: 319 miles

RANGE, CHARGING, AND BATTERY LIFE

Regarding your range, charge, and battery in a 2024 Chevy Equinox, this is where GM's Ultium platform and battery shine brightly. First, the FWD configurations of the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV offer up to 319 miles of charge, while AWD models offer 285 miles. Moreover, this SUV is compatible with Level 2 AC 240-volt at-home charging, delivering approximately 34 miles per hour and taking around 9.4 hours for a full charge.

You can also charge the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV with a Level 3 charger (150 kW DC Fast Charging), which provides your car with a 70-mile range boost in just 10 minutes. This is your best bet for long-distance recharging during road trips or between stations. Drivers also have access to GM's Ultium Charge 360 network, boasting over 110,000 public charging stations across the U.S. and Canada. It's safe to say you won't feel charge anxiety when traveling through North America.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

Moving onto infotainment and connectivity inside the Equinox EV, Chevrolet has pulled out all the bells and whistles. For 2024, you will get to experience things including:

  • 17.7-inch digital touchscreen infotainment center
  • Google Built-In integration for voice commands
  • Bose premium audio system

Overall, the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV offers class-leading tech and entertainment and relies heavily on the touchscreen display for everyday navigation. It's a major step up from regular Equinox vehicles.

FUEL ECONOMY AND MPGE

Another reason to choose the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV this year over other electric SUVs is its fuel economy and MPGe. Per the EPA, this model has a city fuel economy equivalent of 118 MPGe, highway equivalents of 98 MPGe, and a combined rating of 107 MPGe.

Of course, because you're not using gas for this model, you won't see traditional MPG specs from dealerships or Chevrolet. Your mileage per kWh is what you'll want to look for instead.

Now that you know what the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV offers in terms of interior, exterior, technology, safety, etc., let's discuss what each of the four trims will offer. It's also worth mentioning that there will be a later-released base 1LT trim, your cheapest Equinox EV, so keep that in mind.

IS THE 2024 CHEVY EQUINOX EV RIGHT FOR YOU?

Whether you've considered an electric vehicle before or not, the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is a solid alternative to typical gas models. Because this SUV runs solely on battery power, you see much better savings on everyday commutes and long-distance travel. The Equinox EV is also rather perky for the segment, offering a standard 213 horsepower and the more robust 288 horses offered by the available eAWD system. 

Price-wise, the Chevy Equinox EV is also on the lower-middle end of the spectrum, beating out standard trims in models like the Ford Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. It's an excellent car for the price. It is filled to the brim with technology, safety, and performance features. The cheapest 1LT trim is slated to hit the market last, so that may be worth waiting for.
