Video Summary
Key points and findings from the Chevy Equinox EV review:- The reviewer likes the car.
- A base model starts at $34,995 and can be further reduced with a federal tax credit (until September 30th).
- A question to be evaluated is if the car is worth buying.
- The interior features a 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen.
- At Maritime Chevrolet, there is availability to choose from the Equinox inventory.
- There are two trims: LT and RS. The RS trim has blackened trim, bigger wheels, and an RS badging on the front.
- There is a high onboard AC charging. Level 1 is 5.5 miles with the included charger. Level 2 is 34 miles per hour standard, but with 19.2 kw, it can do 51 mph. DC fast charging adds 77 miles in 10 minutes but has a 150 kw peak. It is Tesla Supercharger compatible.
- The steering wheel is noticeably thick, with good regen.
- There are three grab handles for passengers, but none for the driver.
- While very smooth, there are traces of road noise. The car has a floating feel. There is minor sway during acceleration due to torque steer. This is due to a smaller boost motor being in the rear for AWD.
- It is compatible with Tesla Superchargers (with a NACS adapter).
- One of the downfalls of this vehicle is the charging speed.
- Some specs on models:
• The LT1 starts at $33,600 with a 319 mile EPA estimated range with FWD and 307 miles with AWD.
• The LT2 starts at $41,900, with a Front LED light bar and roof rails. It also includes a heated steering wheel, seats and mirrors and wireless phone charging.
• The RS model starts at $43,400 with Black emblems, mirrors and 21-inch black wheels.
-The reviewer concluded that this is not a disappointment, and he likes the car.
