2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV review | ShortsCars

I leased my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV back in January about 3,400 miles ago. I am really loving the vehicle and wanted to share the good and bad things that I have experienced. If you drive a Chevrolet EV product or any EV for that matter please comment your experiences. I'd love to know what you are thinking. If you never owned or even drive an EV have an open mind. Do some research on if an electric vehicle will work for you because I can tell you with absolute certainty it is better than gas.

- Great review from the start! I love my Bolt EUV but… since they discontinued it and since my lease is gonna be up in a few months, it’s time for me to trade or turn it in… and I’m telling you back to your review. It’s the best review I’ve ever listened to or watched… you checked all the boxes as they say first you love the car, but it’s pure enthusiasm. You’re not selling anything. I love that. I just love my Bolt and every person I’ve spoken to who owns an EV that’s their immediate response. How do you like it? I love it!

So to your point, some people just rebel against that I guess who knows I’m not gonna go there. My point is this is the best car I’ve ever had and I’m driving right side-by-side with my Honda CRV which is also a great car. But I have that choice every day and I choose the bolt so now what I’m thinking of doing is trading in both cars for one car and then that one car will be the equinox EV. And now I have to decide between the RS or the LT. But all the things you pointed out are the very important points to me the size so I can get my bike in there and or all my luggage the smooth ride and the incredible acceleration.

You just don’t get this in a gas car. Now that they’ve increased the mileage with the Altium battery by about 80 to 100 miles that also will take some of the worry out of longer trips, including the fact that we can plug-in at the Tesla superstations and that’s gonna be a big load off my mind. My daughter lives about 100 miles away so my round-trip with the Bolt was no problem but I have other relatives in New Jersey and now with a 300 mile range and more frequent or more numerous charging stations. I should be good to go without any worries. Once again, I wanna thank you and commend you.

I’m on the best review I’ve seen on YouTube and I watched a bunch of them not just for cars with almost every product. I’m shopping and most of them were filled with unnecessary music and intros and a bunch of likes and subscribe request. I’m gonna like yours and subscribe because you didn’t ask many thanks again.

- Glad I was a commercial fisherman for many years so I have always worn polarized glasses to stop sun glare off of the ocean! I had to try taking my sunglasses off and sure enough I could see glare from the dash! Thanks for letting me know I should continue getting polarized glasses!

- As I have posted before, I have this car and I love it. I do hate the door handles and wish the car had the door handles from the Blazer EV. The glare is bad, but I have a felt mat that eliminates the problem. I don’t miss Apple CarPlay at all.
