Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The Chevy Equinox EV starts just under $45,000.
It qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit.
For 2025, there will be a 1LT version starting at around $35,000.
It comes in front-wheel and all-wheel drive.
It has the same 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
The FWD version gets 319 miles of range, while the AWD gets 288 miles.
The Equinox drives and looks smaller than it really is.
Rear passengers get two USB-C charging ports and rear vents.
Manual locks and stick shifts are pretty much long dead and over.
Chevy shines in the lower end of the market, offering value for the money.
The A-pillars take away from visibility.
There is a Google setup for technology (lacks Apple CarPlay).
Chevy cameras are high-quality.
The front-wheel-drive power train knocks quite a bit of price off.
Expect compromises with EVs; efficiency is not great driving on a cold day.
300 miles is the "sweet spot" for range.
At that range, it gets easier to live with, especially for the first-time EV buyer.
Overall, the Equinox EV is a well-rounded and easy-to-recommend vehicle.
It's enjoyable to drive, well-equipped, and fairly priced. Chevrolet thrives in the lower end of the market.
