Get to Know the all-new 2024 Equinox EV

EV Motor

The Chevrolet Equinox EV is front-wheel-drive and has a single electric motor with 210 horsepower. However, buyers can upgrade to all-wheel-drive and increase the horsepower to 290. Even those who select the front-wheel-drive option should find that the EV is perky thanks to the immediate power delivery common with electric motors.

Battery Life

Depending on the trim level you select dictates which battery pack the EV comes with. The base trim comes equipped with a smaller battery pack that gets about 250 miles to a charge. The other trim levels come with a larger battery that can get as much as 300 miles to a charge. Upgrading to all-wheel drive does drop the battery range to about 280. Each model, regardless of trim level, has a fast charge capability.

With the Equinox EV, charging is easy and simple. The lower trims have an 11.5-kilowatt onboard charger that provides up to 34 miles of range per hour. When you get to the upper trim levels, including the 3RS AWD, it has a 19.2-kilowatt onboard charger which provides up to 51 miles of range per hour.
