Picked up my 2024 Chevy equinox ev on Friday. Love it thus far

[KyleConner]

I think we’ll see these things everywhere!

Finally! A decent EV from GM that doesn't look like an eco box or cost an arm and a leg. Well done GM! Thanks for the review.

I just leased a 2024 Equinox EV RS for three years and 45, 000 miles. My son has a 2020 Chevy Bolt that he has now owned for four years with 24, 300 miles with zero maintenance cost except rotating tires at 10, 000 miles. I had a level two charger installed four months after my son bought his EV so we both will be fueling (charging) our cars at home with occasional charging at level three charging on long trips. Since Tesla just made available their super charging on 09/30/24 for GM and other car companies range anxiety will be a thing of the past.

Kyle, recently I drove this and the Blazer EV one after another. I tested the Blazer first, and was pretty impressed with the quality of build and performance. It was the AWD, and felt like a rocket off the line. You can tell it's quick, even with the extra size and weight. It was red with red and black interior...very upscale looking.
Next I drove a medium gray Equinox EV with the same nice red inlaid panels in the seats with black trim also. I could tell by my driving that it was smaller and pretty nimble. It was the FWD model, and was not too slow. In fact, it felt more like my 2018 Volt Premier in the Kinetic blue. I think it appeared to be about 7 second off the line to sixty! I love the acceleration and handling. I was impressed!

For most consumers price is critical. You film a lot of great EV’s but are way to expensive for the majority of people. Love the channel

Kudos to Chevy for not putting stupid glass roofs and keeping the price lower

[vezner]

I bought a 2LT after trading in my Bolt EUV and I have to say that I’m loving the Equinox! Well done GM!

[chrismaxny]

On the Chevy website presently the only available models start at $43, 295. 3LT AWD starts at $48, 595. Had a 23 Chevy Bolt EUV Premiere and got tired of waiting for the Equinox so bought a used 23 VW ID.4 Pro S AWD with 961 miles for $29, 395. Glad we did seeing the price point of the Equinox.

[rcpmac]

I really have 0to60 fatigue. OMG 8 seconds isn’t fast enough? Kyle, 90%of us DRIVE NORMALLY!

Last week I was able to test drive the new Equinox EV RS. really sweet, 1st time behind the wheel of an EV. We currently have a gas Equinox and love that. Amazing how smooth it was, and yes there is a little whinny electric motor noise but we noticed that since we didnt have the music rocking. Thanks to you all, I knew more about the car than the sales guy at the dealership

[fwiler]

I am surprised. I'm not a GM fan but they did a good job on this. Nice to see all the options for driving preferences.

[JakesOnline]

You forgot about the best one. The 2014 Spark EV has an LFP battery and 400 lb-ft torque. Also has a proper hinged CCS cover, not a fiddly dongle.

[smk]

You need to compare this car to a gas RAV4 or CRV. That is where Chevy needs to get conquest sales. That’s why EV’s are 8% market share, people don’t really buy cars on 0-60 performance they buy price and practicality.

[alittleofthisnthat]

🤔...great video guys with great energy together. With the vehicles coming out please keep in mind that the regular everyday consumer isn't looking for the 0 to 60 times. They are looking for a reasonable price, features and range for everyday use. Take that into account when you both come from higher performance EVs but they don't deliver on range or features for the higher price you pay

[PeanutsandPopcorn]

Saw one last night and it looked much better in person than I thought it would.

[left-coast-dad]

This is a PERFECT first car. We'll definitely consider one for our teen. Particularly appreciate the 'slowness' for that use case.

[stos]

I work at the battery plant that makes the packs for these vehicles. This was certainly a joy to watch

[loganrossignol]

Honestly, in black, this thing looks great

[Weezedog]

And exactly how much is GM going to charge for a data plan to use their infotainment system? The whole point of Android Auto and Apple Carplay is that you are re-using something you already pay for (cell phone) instead of incurring a new subscription fee. We want less charges, not more.
