Common Questions Answered: Equinox EV
The 2025 Chevy Equinox EV has arrived, ushering in a new era of accessible, all-electric driving. As one of the most anticipated additions to Chevrolet’s EV lineup, the Equinox EV is packed with innovation, efficiency, and flexibility. At Jet Chevrolet, part of the Dinsmore Auto Group, we’ve gathered the most common questions our customers ask about this exciting new model—and we’re answering them all in one place.
What Is the Range of the Chevy Equinox EV?
Range is one of the most important factors for EV buyers, and the 2025 Equinox EV doesn’t disappoint. With up to 300 miles of estimated range (on select trims with front-wheel drive), the Equinox EV is well-suited for both city commutes and weekend road trips.
All-wheel-drive versions offer slightly less range but gain extra traction for all-weather driving. Actual mileage will vary depending on terrain, driving style, and load, but the Chevy Equinox EV range puts it at the top of the class among compact electric SUVs.
How Long Does It Take to Charge the Equinox EV?
Charging time depends on the method used:
- Level 1 (120V home outlet): Adds about 4 miles of range per hour
- Level 2 (240V home charger): Adds up to 34 miles of range per hour
- DC Fast Charging: Adds approximately 70 miles of range in just 10 minutes
For most drivers, installing a Level 2 charger at home will make daily charging simple and convenient. Chevy also offers support and incentives for at-home charger installation.
Does the Equinox EV Qualify for Tax Credits?
Yes, many versions of the 2025 Equinox EV qualify for up to $7,500 in federal tax credits, depending on final assembly location, battery sourcing, and your personal tax situation.
For Washington state drivers, additional EV tax credit info and potential utility rebates may apply. Always check with your tax professional to verify eligibility.
How Much Does the 2025 Equinox EV Cost?
Pricing starts at an estimated $34,995 MSRP for the base LT trim, with higher trims like RS and Premier reaching into the $40,000–$48,000 range, depending on configuration.
This competitive pricing, combined with the available incentives, makes the 2025 Equinox price one of the most compelling in the electric SUV space. Optional packages, AWD capability, and premium tech can affect final pricing, so we recommend speaking with a specialist at Jet Chevrolet for a full breakdown.
Is the Equinox EV Good for Long-Distance Travel?
Absolutely. With a range of up to 300 miles and access to nationwide DC Fast Charging stations, the Equinox EV is built for more than just short trips. Features like Google Built-In, real-time route planning with charging stops, and heated/ventilated seats make long drives comfortable and stress-free.
Its quiet cabin, ample cargo space, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving (on select trims) make it one of the best electric crossovers for long-distance commuters and weekend adventurers alike.
