I leased this after got screwed with Fisker Ocean One and then got totaled. This is amazing for the price and so far had it for over two weeks and can’t complain.

[CaptDnaDonut]

A Chevy dealership near me had like 4 or 5 of these. I checkyh again after a couple of weeks and they were all gone. They seemed reasonably priced and nice enough. Glad people picked them up.

Totally agree that we don’t need everyone on the road with 500+ HP in a 5K lbs vehicle

[kmm]

This is the review I’ve been waiting for! I’ve had my eye on an Equinox EV and noticed that the dealerships can’t keep them in stock! Some RS models are going for $37k and that doesn’t even include the $7, 500 tax credit!

This is a hell of a deal!

[JakeBurgess]

No CarPlay is a deal killer for me and many others.

[pharm]

I am looking at local dealers. Some have like 4k off MSRP then in addition to 7500 tax credit?? Like less than 30k??? I’m interested

[gangatalishis]

That’s a 35k MAX car. In a year you will be able to pick one up for 30k.

[VishnuKamath]

This will be my next vehicle. This or Blazer. I love that GMC still has physical HVAC button.

[justaguy]

I never thought I'd say 'wow' about a GM product. Good job by this domestic brand.

[Floh_HRO]

damn... you americans are so lucky with car prices. in germany we have no ev incentives anymore and even small ev cost more than this equinox

[upstr]

Always my favorite reviewer. I think GM gets SO close, but the interior blue (or red for RS) accents look cheap, and no car play is a faceplant. I've also read the DC fast charging is not so fast. So close...

[RyanPadua-]

Isn't there a push button to start? 😂 I don't see one 😂and I like the Chevrolet Chime! 😊❤

[bluesgaming]

you need to get your hands on a chevy trax to review i want one

[bachnguyen]

Hey man can you do a video with the 2024 VF8? I think it's an interesting car to do POV

[MaGiKRat]

Getting mine soon. The dealer emailed me yesterday to say it started production. $475 a month fully loaded🎉 I'm excited! 😅

[Whopper]

Is there a way to get rid of the blue trim? I love the rest.

[bluesgaming]

how did you get your job i would love to have a job like yours

[bendino]

i use the regen paddle and 2 peddle driving mode exclusively, it allows for the most control. Do not rely on pubic charging or electrify america or whatever is around you. Home charging is the only way to really ev and feel like a normal car experience, otherwise the range anxiety isnt worth it. and the wasted time trying to charge and whatnot. You need level 2 charging at home (240 volt) unless you drive less that 50 miles a day. Then level 1 is enough. These arent road trip cars. when you need to rely on DC super charging things dont always work well. thats my 2 cents on EV life. that goes for all makes and models. Chevy will have the most issues. Tesla the least. you will still have problems charging from time to time.

[sergiomunoz]

im sorry but 42k for the base model is too expensive
