The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV delivers on GMs promise of a genuinely affordable electric SUV, starting at just $33,900 with 319 miles of range. After 2,000 miles of testing, here is our full verdict.
What We Love
- 319-mile range on the 2LT trim — class-leading
- Spacious interior with 17.7-inch touchscreen
- DC fast charging: 10-80% in 30 minutes
- Comfortable ride quality on par with $50K SUVs
What Could Be Better
- Base 1LT trim feels spartan with cloth seats
- Rear seat legroom tight for adults over 6 feet
- No frunk — wasted space under the hood
The Verdict
At $33,900 before the $7,500 federal tax credit, the Equinox EV effectively starts at $26,400 — making it the most compelling EV value on the market. It is the electric car that could finally convince mainstream buyers to switch.
