After test driving the Equinox EV, I just traded in my 2022 Kia EV6 for a 2024 Chevy Equinox EV 2RS FWD with Super Cruise. It was peppy enough for us. And it rides just a little smoother and quieter than the Kia EV6 especially going over bumps. We have had it for 3 weeks now and love it. Oh, and the seats are much more comfortable than the EV6.
I own one. An RS. Nicest car I've ever owned and I've owned many. 29 inches of screen inside and I can verify it blows past the 513kms EPA range at times. 21 inch wheels.
my son just bought one, he loves this car, plugs it in nightly when rates are low. nice simple interior with 2 screens. 10 years on the battery. it's a nice SUV especially for the money 😊
10 year warranty on the battery? some sites say that NMC batteries only have 500-1000 Cycles and 3-4 years of life, maybe that is just internet garbage then, any more specs on the warranty?
I agree with Sam that GM should make a small wheel NOT base model EV that has a longer range maybe an ECO model like they did with the Cruze! I don’t need 22” wheels.
I can believe that 356 mile range is doable if it is 70 deg F. outside , no AC , no night lights and driving on a flat smooth prairie road at 60 miles per hour.
As an owner - lessee actually - I am especially pleased with the FWD (the PNW of the USA can be treacherous in Winter), the quiet, the range (single motor LT2), the quiet in the cabin, and the physical controls (buttons, toggles and knobs). It’s able to have FWD because it’s not a jackrabbit. Most single- motor EVs require RWD because of the tremendous torque put out by their motors. The Equinox EV has more modest torque and horsepower, and it is software controlled. So it is able to power the front wheels without ripping apart the tires or steering/suspension. Shredding and smoking tires is just not a pastime that I enjoy, nor does it contribute to a better earth. The primary technical Equinox EV downside is that its battery pack is low voltage, which means slow DC charging, no more than ~150kw. The financial downside is that, almost to a dealer, the $7500 rebate is retained by GM/Chevrolet, and not passed on to the customer. Have you experienced otherwise? I really want to know!
We got the tax credit of $7,500 off the sale price and we have to reconcile it when we file our taxes next year. Which means that if we don't have more than $7,500 in taxes, we will have to pay the difference to the government. My estimate is that we should come close to $7,500, so I allowed them to take it off the sale price. FYI - I agree, we got the FWD too and it's plenty fast enough for us.
Following Tesla lead, GM promised to reduce number of "not needed" parts in its vehicles by 25% for 2025 models. Somehow that claim went under the radar. IMHO, that's the reason for such a dramatic range improvement
Thanks for getting back on track with the EV narrative. It looks a nice car. I used to be a GM driver but switched to Renault in 2000 when the safety ratings came in.
Assuming you can get the base version. When it comes to EV range, X 90% for the actual range and another 80% for winter driving. A new EV with 300 miles of range comes down to 300 X 0.72 = 216 miles of real range on average. Add another 90% for battery degradation, you get 195 miles of range after about 5+ years. We just need a reliable charging network so most people don’t get hung up on range.
There is so much more to EV’s than range. Tesla has them all beat with tech. FSD is a game changer, a soon to be major disruption that no other car brand can compete with. The only time range comes into play is on road trips. Tesla has them all beat also with their charging network.
The EPA estimate is a city/highway average. Driving at slower speeds, say 55 and under, and frequently using regen to slow the vehicle gets you closer to the city average which is substantially higher than the highway average and also higher than the city/highway average. Driving on a highway at 70+ mph is the worst case scenario for EV range.
When I was young cars never got their EPA mpg rating. But things changed over a decade ago. The EPA rated my car at 31 city, 42 highway. But I get 44 city and 55 highway, probably because I have a manual and they used an automatic during testing, which is what most people bought.
Chevrolet bolt, back in the day, was the longest range per dollar of any car EV out there. The Equinox promises to do the same. I need all-wheel-drive, because I live on a steep hill, and we get snow. That said, of the all-wheel-drive EV's, the Chevrolet Equinox will STILL offer the most range, at the lowest price in that class, despite being ~$5,000-$7,000 US more expensive.

Good news. Several friends bought "anything but Tesla" (three got the discounted MachE, two the Ionic5, one an ID4). I used to be open to a Tesla, regardless of Musk, not any more. Actions have consequences.
@@nguyep4 Not sure what's so laughable about the richest man in the world playing god. He is reportedly fine with striking the $7500 tax credit because he thinks it might crush his US competition.
You need to come to know it's not about range. It's about refill time. Motorcycles only have about 80 mile range. But you can refill them in the time it takes to go to the bathroom.
More interested in cold n wet conditions Because i guess folks are still going on long trips in miserable weather What my off grid setup makes on sunny days means SFA to me What they make on overcast rainy days is the real test Or i sit in the dark 😉
Any range comments should be real world USABLE range meaning don't run the battery below10% and don't charge it above 80% which all the companies recommend. That's 30% less than all these numbers or about 110-120 miles less. I agree not a problem with home charging and local trips but road trips? Big difference to ICE. Because you know exactly where gas stations are you can run your ICE car down to the reserve light and fill up in 5 minutes. Not so with roadside DC Fast Chargers where they're either all taken or half of them don't work or they're throttled down to where it takes over an hour to get to 80%. Yes, that will improve over time but still not there yet.
لا احد يهتم بمسافة السيارات الكهربائية أغلب الناس يتحدثون عن سرعة شحنها دائماً يقارنون سرعة تعبئة الوقود الديزل أو البنزين وبين شحن السيارات الكهربائية وهم على حق 💯
Is there any information about how long it takes to charge each of these Electric Vehicles. It takes about 3 minutes to fully fill up the tank of a petrol powered car and it is generally easy to find a petrol station.
80% every night. Rarely need to stop to charge at a charging station. 60 miles daily commute. Driven 4700 miles, paid $90. 3 min to fill up, good for those that need that.
Look into the DC fast charging performance. That's a weak point. The new Model 3 has efficiency close to 5 miles per kWh. The new Y could be worth the wait.
If the real driving range of that Equinox is that good, it's better than the Tesla Model 3 long range which would be a significant accomplishment. The Equinox EV weighs 400 lbs more; but it has a 85 kWh battery pack vs the Model 3 long range which is 82 kWh. Given the SUV styling and larger aero dynamic profile it seems like their finding was better than you'd expect. Unless the Chevy has a gear box or something to add to it's efficiency; its hard to believe it would be better than the Model 3 long range. Probably neither of them will actually achieve as much as 300 miles on the freeway at 70 mph.
If you watch any independent range videos, the range varies dramatically based on so many factors..Lucid for example, range drops dramatically if you drive 75 mph +…my Model Y LR…I always plan to charge on long highway speed trips every 2 hours…and because of Tesla network, I have no issues on long distant drives
Sure as heck didn't get that range in Colorado going to the mountains at 20°.lol😂 I kind of wish this guy would be more skeptical and more against EVs.. but then just proved himself wrong instead of always believing everything and wanting all these renewables that are not ready to go . I would trust him more. Kind of like when you go to a movie that you don't think's going to be very good and then you're really impressed I wish he had that attitude.
Being from the US, The Chevy Equinox was my 2nd choice a year ago when announced it was going to be made. But got tired of waiting, so I now own a 2023 Tesla Model Y LR. I enjoy the Model Y very much. Driving range was not a big factor for me being retired and only drive the Tesla around town. My decision to get the Model Y was size/style of the car, the Electronics and Security, and the Storage Space the vehicle has. Plus buying the Tesla direct and not going through greedy dealerships was great for me. Got the vehicle within 2 weeks after purchase. There are allot of Tesla haters now because of Musk/Trump relationships. I could care less what they think. They can all go pound sand far as I am concerned. I still like and keeping my EV for a long time. Thanks for your video.
Wait until the US dealerships tack on their marketing , sales policies and practices .That system ,that is foundational to their business model ,will poison the possible success of American EV SUCCESS
Mr. Viking says you have to be crazy and insane to not buy an EV at these prices. Forgetting that most people can't afford expensive new cars, EVs are not practical everywhere. We live in the mountains and sometimes get feet of snow. And there are less than great dirt roads. A lot of people here drive 4wd trucks which EVs can't do yet.
It's not insane to consider a gas car over a non tesla EV for the same price as there's no charging infrastructure. Even if you can charge it at a Tesla charger, the car prioritizes electrify america and other chargers that aren't as reliable, finding an available tesla charger is harder and not all of them work with third party cars.
When I used to buy an ICE vehicle, I would check the sticker for MPG which translates to efficiency. You need to give us km/kwHr or miles/kwHr, on top of just range. Our 2023 model y with 13,000 miles is getting 4 miles / kwHr.
4 MI per kilowatt-hour is pretty darn good. I was looking at electric vehicles about 7 months ago and most of them are under 4 miles per kilowatt hour.
I own equinox EV 1LT, it got nowhere near even 300 miles on high way. It is about 3.1 to 3.2miles per kw, or 280 miles. How does Edmund test equinox ev to have 353 miles compare to my real world of 280? Out of spec gets 370 miles on a 2024 model 3 AWD when Edmund only gets 338 miles. I don't want to say Edmund are bias but it totally sound likely
Maybe you do but I never just drive only on the highway!!! I actually avoid it after buying my EV and get maybe 310 miles range on my 2019 Bolt EV Premier in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Now that does depend if there is a cold/hot day and need to use my heater/AC but it happens more often than not!
Range, range.......... How about making a SHORT range EV for those who seldom or never drive far? I, like many, drive fewer than 50 miles in a day, and would gladly buy a cheaper vehicle with a much smaller battry pack. How many others' priorities are like mine?
You know what’s funny, you would be surprised how many people that don’t drive anymore than 50 -60 miles a day! A 200 mile range car could last 3 days plus without charging!

Lies lies lies!! Equinox ev is between 2.5-2.9 mi/kwh max! You will not get past 290 miles! Charging speed will pull 110 kwh max! Tested all over youtube.. Wild exaggerations
@@Jeff-wb3hh yeah everybody that doesn't do real range test videos on UA-cam will have testimony like yourself.. Soo anyways the equinox and or chevy junk will not average that.. Absolutely 0% proof of that.. Btw even Lucid barely achieved that on outofspecs testing.
My understanding is that the lower trim model with one motor is painfully slow. Even the dual motor is pretty slow compared to most electric cars. It’s also extremely slow charging the battery pack has low-voltage. It seems that Chevy paid no attention to Speed charging speeds.
still wouldn't personally buy the equinox over the model y. Would partly want to wait until GM has a few more years of electric under their belts. Additionally, the vehicles feel incredibly different. Ones very economy and ones luxury. If you need a car though and you need a budget under 30k, the equinox is EASILY #1 choice especially over any gas vehicle in that price range, assuming its made well.
Check out "State of Charge" 70mph highway test for real highway range for the FWD which he got 303 miles from 100% to 1%. "Out of Spec" review tested the AWD model.
@@aftonline taxpayers are paying it. Why should they subsidize a losing product? Chevrolet are losing nearly 20k per car but tax payers are softening the blow to the automaker. It's unsustainable.
@@mickfitz76yes and the US government gives nearly a trillion dollars a year to the fossil fuel industry to keep coal, oil, and gasoline prices lower. As soon as we cut subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, electric vehicles would sell like hotcakes as gasoline rose to about 6 to $7 per gallon.
Can't be bought for the price they advertise. Bait and switch, been trying to buy 1 for 2 weeks so far cheapest lease deal is $350.00 per month with $5000.00 down.
Why do you care about range when we've been told for years that range "doesn't matter" and that there are better options for long range travel? This excuse has been used to prop up EVs for years. By your own logic an EV shouldn't need long range.
The vast majority of GM vehicles of recent years have been incredibly unreliable, even the ICE vehicles they have made for many years. Add that problem to new EV technology and you have the perfect formula for disaster. Any new GM EV is bound to have numerous recalls and be in the shop more than on the road. And do you really believe that GM mechanics will be able to repair them? If you really want one, wait a year and buy a used one for half the price. But it really won’t be worth that either.

So maybe GM is on my list of cars to consider. I will now watch the rest of this
Power is proportional to the cube of velocity so small reductions in velocity can have a big effect on range.
True, but since you're covering the distance in less time, range decreases proportionately to the square of the increase in speed.
True but as long as they utilize the same test on all vehicles the relative order will not change. As always "your range can vay...."
I agree with Sam that GM should make a small wheel NOT base model EV that has a longer range maybe an ECO model like they did with the Cruze! I don’t need 22” wheels.
It also hurts like fuck when you need to replace tires, you can watch grown men cry at the tire shop every day.
I can believe that 356 mile range is doable if it is 70 deg F. outside , no AC , no night lights and driving on a flat smooth prairie road at 60 miles per hour.
GM Ev range are usually accurate and if anything umdestated.
Not only good range per dollar but more power than is available in the gas version of the Equinox.

DON’T believe it. You will NEVER find a base model for that price, even BEFORE dealer hits you with extortioner “market adjustment”.
Not true here in Michigan. The base model is pretty cheap.
You can find the case model in Illinois, too. We got an RS with a few extras for $35k after the tax credit.
I sell them and someone just took delivery of an Equinox EV for under $33k out-the-door.
He IS including the "Tax Incentive", that not all of us will qualify for. The price on the window sticker will be higher.
I have seen multiple at the base price. There are 20+ available within 100 miles of me.
Some of these are starting to be shipped to dealers and dealers are starting to show them in their inventory as arriving soon.
no way ,with that boxy exterior the aerodynamics can never be superior to a Model 3

Out of spec does a highway test at constant speed. The 356 mile result is from mixed city and highway driving equivalent to the EPA testing.

I'm getting 3.5 mi/kW in my 2024 Equinox EV FWD 2RS. "State of Charge" ran their 70mph highway test from 100% down to 1% and drove 303 miles.
@@Jeff-wb3hh yeah everybody that doesn't do real range test videos on UA-cam will have testimony like yourself.. Soo anyways the equinox and or chevy junk will not average that.. Absolutely 0% proof of that.. Btw even Lucid barely achieved that on outofspecs testing.
But will it Hold Up?
Imagine if it was a slippery sedan or wagon instead of just another stupid SU fing V.
It would be interesting to know the testing regimen.
My understanding is that the lower trim model with one motor is painfully slow. Even the dual motor is pretty slow compared to most electric cars. It’s also extremely slow charging the battery pack has low-voltage. It seems that Chevy paid no attention to Speed charging speeds.
most buyers don't know that
? So what's the size of the battery pack. And can they make a profit 💲💲 ?
still wouldn't personally buy the equinox over the model y. Would partly want to wait until GM has a few more years of electric under their belts. Additionally, the vehicles feel incredibly different. Ones very economy and ones luxury. If you need a car though and you need a budget under 30k, the equinox is EASILY #1 choice especially over any gas vehicle in that price range, assuming its made well.
Check out of spec reviews for a real range.
Check out "State of Charge" 70mph highway test for real highway range for the FWD which he got 303 miles from 100% to 1%. "Out of Spec" review tested the AWD model.
That range doesn’t last like any other EV. Solar wind and 😅the rest are all a scam do the research to this mis information
It is not $27,500 it is $35,000.
Stop saying that.
If the goverment is paying $7500 and you are paying $27,500, then it cost $35,000.
Even without the rebate, Chevrolet loses money on each car.
Nah. That's 27K to me!
The buyer doesn't care how much the government is paying. It has zero effect on their buying decision.
@@aftonline taxpayers are paying it. Why should they subsidize a losing product? Chevrolet are losing nearly 20k per car but tax payers are softening the blow to the automaker. It's unsustainable.
@@mickfitz76yes and the US government gives nearly a trillion dollars a year to the fossil fuel industry to keep coal, oil, and gasoline prices lower.
As soon as we cut subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, electric vehicles would sell like hotcakes as gasoline rose to about 6 to $7 per gallon.
Equinox is a great deal At $40,000You're never gonna find one for 27
Can't be bought for the price they advertise. Bait and switch, been trying to buy 1 for 2 weeks so far cheapest lease deal is $350.00 per month with $5000.00 down.
Chevy ? Never....!
GM = Gross Mistake
Crushes my arse, Out of Spec Reviews ran the Equinox to zero battery, the only got 274 miles. 2.9 miles / kwHr. nice click bait !
That was the AWD model. "State of Charge" tested the FWD model at 70mph and got 303 miles of range from 100% down to 1%.
Why do you care about range when we've been told for years that range "doesn't matter" and that there are better options for long range travel? This excuse has been used to prop up EVs for years. By your own logic an EV shouldn't need long range.
It matters to some people. And some people who actually don't need so much range.
The vast majority of GM vehicles of recent years have been incredibly unreliable, even the ICE vehicles they have made for many years. Add that problem to new EV technology and you have the perfect formula for disaster. Any new GM EV is bound to have numerous recalls and be in the shop more than on the road. And do you really believe that GM mechanics will be able to repair them? If you really want one, wait a year and buy a used one for half the price. But it really won’t be worth that either.
