It’s at the top of everyone’s mind who’s new to electric vehicles: How does it drive? When you pilot the Equinox EV, you’re in control of the same Chevrolet strength that you know and trust—the electric aspect takes that power to the next level.
The trusted power of Chevrolet is on full display in the Equinox EV. It comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) for easy control in a variety of situations. Electric driving is much quieter, too, so you can sail down the road and take in the scenery around you.
For drivers looking for more command when the road gets rocky, the available Dual Motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system is there to enhance control. Supplying energy to all four wheels will provide better traction for slippery or off-road conditions. It even comes with a generous boost of 288 net horsepower and up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity.
Operating entirely on electricity and battery power, the Equinox EV has plenty of fun in store. It sports an impressive range on a full charge, so you can spend more time exploring out on the road.

You can plug in your Equinox EV to charge every night when you come home and wake up with more energy ready for your daily plans. If you use a public DC fast charger, you can get approximately 70 miles of range in just 10 minutes!
Cutting-edge tech is the mark of modern auto design, and the Equinox EV is filled with advanced features to make your drives better. They cover everything from fun and intuitive controls to enhanced protection for more confident drives. You’ll find state-of-the-art systems around every corner!
As you take your seat, you’ll be greeted with an intuitive gateway to your vehicle’s apps and features. The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen is a massive step up that improves readability as you drive. You can easily control the screen while you’re on the road with just a few taps.
The intelligence of Google is at your command, too, with Google Built-In. Thanks to this handy virtual assistant, you can stay connected to your vehicle and get the information you need when you need it.
Peace of mind is always valued, especially when traveling with friends or family. The Equinox EV comes with an array of standard driver-assistive technologies that help serve as a virtual copilot as you drive. Among these systems are:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
- Rear Park Assist
- IntelliBeam®
Using advanced sensors and computers, these features work alongside your safe driving habits to offer the advantage you need if or when the unexpected happens.
Along with advanced engineering, the Chevrolet Equinox EV has plenty of comfort and convenience features. You’ll look forward to every drive even more, knowing these additions will help ensure a better drive that keeps you coming back for more.
First impressions matter, and there are plenty of additions that make the outside of the Equinox EV even more appealing:
- Automated walk-up lighting
- Heated outside mirrors
- AutoSense power liftgate
- Dual pane power sunroof
- 21-inch machined-face aluminum wheels
Between the stylish curves of the Equinox EV and added capabilities, these available exterior features make your vehicle a must-see every time it takes to the street.
The cabin is your oasis from long days spent out and about. When you and your riders buckle in for the journey home, you’ll have an abundance of standard and available features that will make your ride better:

- Head-Up Display
- HD Surround Vision
- Super Cruise™ Hands-Free
These features take your next road trip to new heights.
