- Love my 35,000 EQUINOX. After the 7500 government rebate. The chevy rebates and the teacher rebate. I paid 25,000. Where are you going to find a great car like this for that price. Especially an Ev. I have had it for about 8 months. And 9000 miles. Very happy with it. Took it on its 1st road trip to hearst castle. About 350 miles each way. Used the tesla chargers. Piece of cake.- I bought my 25 1LT back in December and I can say for my family its been a joy. One issue I've had but are just GM being GM are onstar being your only way to have maps in the car. But paying $200 a year for maps and wifi is not bad. Other than this the car has been great (Just keep in mind its always easier to own an EV if you have an at home charger)
- Bought the base.Ride is nice and a great value.The negative is dash material,grainy plastic reflects on to windshield..Metal around cup holder is distracting and highly reflective.
- Bought an Equinox EV in April 2025. Liked the price point to get into the EV experience. On 9/27/25 I bought a Silverado EV Trail Boss. Yep two ICE traded in for two EVs. Never going back to ICE. Looked at Model Y. Liked the mix of stalks, buttons and dials on the GM products and no Elon drama/far right postings.
