The Equinox EV was introduced in January 2022 in a set of images at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and was originally planned to go on sale in the late 2023 for the 2024 model year. Chevrolet dealers began receiving deliveries of the 2024 Equinox EV in May 2024. The Equinox EV is built on GM’s BEV3 platform, featuring a design and underpinnings different from the ICE-powered Equinox.

Overview

During its introduction, General Motors stated that Equinox EV would have a starting price of around US$30,000 in the United States and would be offered in various LT and RS trim levels. Trim levels were detailed in September 2022. The 2024 base 1LT trim was to have an estimated range of 250 mi (400 km), and produce 210 hp (213 PS; 157 kW) and 242 lb⋅ft (328 N⋅m; 33.5 kg⋅m) torque, but GM never actually produced the 2024 1LT trim. Non-base 2024 trims were 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS. Chevrolet began manufacturing the 2024 Equinox EV in January 2024 at its Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico. Chevrolet dealers began receiving deliveries of the 2024 Equinox EV in May 2024. The Equinox EV was introduced at Auto Beijing in China in May 2024. It was intended to be produced locally by SAIC-GM. However, production plans were halted, and the model was never sold in China as GM retired the Chevrolet brand from China in 2025. The Equinox EV is equipped with GM Ultium batteries which are shared with many other GM battery electric vehicles, including the similar but larger Chevrolet Blazer EV. A larger battery with 300 mi (480 km) range was to be optional on the 2024 1LT, and standard on 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS. For the 2025 model year, all trims use this larger battery, which provides an EPA-estimated range of 319 mi (513 km) for all front wheel drive versions. All trim levels have optional all-wheel drive, with dual motors producing 290 hp (294 PS; 216 kW) and 346 lb⋅ft (469 N⋅m; 47.8 kg⋅m) torque, with an estimated range of 280 mi (450 km). A V2L (vehicle-to-load) system was to be optional for the 2024 3RS trim level. However, GM deferred this capability to the 2025 model year, and as of September 2024 it remains unavailable even on 2025 vehicles. The option later become available in 2025. Ca
