2024 Chevy Equinox EV

• Overview

  

  Chevy fans who need a dependable crossover SUV with plenty of cargo and comfort have been flocking to the Chevy Equinox since 2005. Even though the Equinox has always been one of the smaller SUVs on the market, it still packed a powerful punch and thus remained a mainstay in Chevy's lineup. Fast forward to today, and you'll find that the Equinox is just as popular as ever—so much so that Chevy has redesigned it as an electric vehicle (EV). Now you can enjoy the first-ever 2024 Chevy Equinox EV providing you up to 300 miles on one charge.

  Every year, more and more EVs find their way onto dealers' lots, and this year the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is the one to watch. This is the third all-electric car in Chevy's arsenal, with the Silverado EV and the Blazer EV already gaining quite the following. With Equinox's quick charging capabilities, a focus on style and comfort, and the safety features you know and love, we're positive that this new era of the Equinox will also be a crowd-pleaser.

  But that's not all! The Ultimum platform—GM's flexible battery base—allows Chevy to manufacture EV models that are priced competitively against gas-powered engines while giving you the keys to the future. Not only is it all-electric and thus easier to refuel (which is now usually done at home), but the new Equinox EV will yield you steadier handling, fast acceleration, a quiet ride, and a decreased carbon footprint.

  The Ultimum platform is a game-changer, enabling a 50/50 balance in weight distribution, which lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and thereby improves responsiveness. This same system pushes past the slow start of previous EV models and gives you the rush you need right from the start, with a punchy accelerator comparable to a high-horsepower combustion engine. This is all in addition to an ultra-quiet ride that lets you enjoy your favorite playlist, listen to the kids talk about their day, or simply unwind and relax after a long day at the office. If you've been considering making the switch to electric, a closer look at the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV might be all the push you need.

• Charging

  

  Whenever EVs enter the conversation, questions about charging and range are typically the first to follow. As for charging, the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is equipped with the most current of such technology; the standard 11.5 kW Level 2 charging unit is an AC system that can add up to 34 miles of range per hour of charging. You can also opt for a 19.2 kW Level 2 system that will add up to 51 miles of range per hour of charging; it, too, is an AC system. On the contrary, when using a DC Fast Charging station, you'll get up to 70 miles of range in as little as ten minutes!

  What is the difference between AC and DC, and how do they charge your EV differently? Well, essentially, there are two types of "fuel" that electric cars can use—AC and DC—which stand for "alternating current" and "direct current," respectively. AC is the type of power that comes from your electrical grid, but batteries like the one in your EV store DC power. This isn't an issue since electronics typically have an adapter built into the plug to compensate for this. You might not know it, but every time you charge something like your phone, the plug converts the AC power into DC power.

  In an EV, this conversion is built into the car itself. It changes AC power to DC power and sends it to the car's battery. A DC charger differs from an AC charger in that the adapter is built into the system, thereby sending DC power straight from the fount into the car's battery; DC charging is far faster than AC charging because it forgoes the bottleneck of conversion. Most EV charging relies on AC power because these units are more accessible; DC chargers are generally much larger units, so they're less likely to fit in a garage—hence why most people today use AC chargers.

• Aesthetics

  

  Driving is an experience—and with the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV, that experience is on a whole new level, with innovations you never realized you needed. For instance, imagine walking up to your new Equinox EV and being greeted by ambient lighting on your vehicle's rear and front; this unique experience is standard, with an option to upgrade when purchasing higher-tiered trims of the LT and RS models. The system lights up with animations that are pleasing to the eye and show off the sleek accents of the Equinox in a subtle yet impressive way.

  Your 2024 Chevy Equinox EV also offers a range of wheel options, depending on the trim. This spectrum runs from 18 to 21 inches, affording you a personal touch to your stability and traction. The eye-catching styling continues as an available two-tone roof adds a pop of white on the LT or a dash of black for the RS; both options create an Equinox presence that stands above all other SUVs.

  There is more luxury inside the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV. Its streamlined interior comfortably seats five and all their belongings, with plenty of cargo space behind the back seats. Or, if it's just you and one passenger going for a ride, you can fold the back seats down and increase your cargo space to 57 cu.ft. You can also opt for a hands-free liftgate, accessible with a swipe of your foot beneath the rear bumper. Stylistic features continue with ambient lighting and a wide range of storage options to help you keep your Equinox clutter-free. The two-tone roof option can also be seen inside, with two-toned seating options starting at the 2LT level.

  For cool mornings, the Equinox has you covered with options for heated front and rear seats, as well as a heated steering wheel and a heated windshield wiper feature that is just plain genius—especially if you park outside during the colder months. The center of your commute is an easy-to-use and customizable touchscreen infotainment interface—which can get as wide as 17.7 inches—inlaid into the dashboard at a slight angle that favors the driver.

• Safety

  

  Not only did Chevy strive to ensure you enjoy the styling and quick charging of the new 2024 Equinox EV, but they also want you to feel safe while you do so—hence Chevy's offering a lengthy list of safety features. These include a connection to the myChevrolet app, which can assist with navigation and locating charging stations while you're on the road. You also get access to Ultium Charge 360, which has information on over a hundred thousand charging ports across the United States and Canada.

  Some standard safety features you can expect with your 2024 Chevy Equinox EV include Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam High Beam Assist. Automatic Emergency Braking works in conjunction with Forward Collision Alert to caution you about potential imminent accidents and react with emergency braking if you need assistance. Following Distance Indicator reduces your risk of an accident by alerting you when you're following too closely—or the vehicle in front of you suddenly slows—and you might not be able to react to a sudden change in traffic flow.

  When traveling under 50 mph, Front Pedestrian Braking alerts you when something enters your lane, allowing you to react and potentially avoid a collision; this system works best during the daytime. If you've never driven a vehicle with Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, it might take some getting used to: it provides a gentle nudge in the steering wheel when you stray from your lane—but don't worry, this system knows when you're turning intentionally and won't send out alerts if your turn signal is on.

  With the IntelliBeam High Beam Assist activated, you don't need to worry about fumbling to turn your high beams on and off; this system does it for you, allowing you to focus on the road, which is extremely helpful when you're traveling in areas unfamiliar to you. Other available safety features include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Safety Seat Alert, and more. Whether you choose the LT or the RS option, you're sure to find a trim that gives you the peace of mind you need for short commutes or road trips across the country.

  In addition, we offer Super Cruise, the industry's first true hands-free semi-autonomous driving system. Super Cruise works in conjunction with over 200,000 compatible roads in the United States and Canada via LiDAR map data, which provides real-time instruction to a network of sensors, cameras, and GPS to determine where your vehicle is and to keep it in the optimum position for your driving safety.
