The Chevrolet Equinox EV is getting delayed by a couple of months, but the wait will be worth it as the model is now targeted to have a variety of 300 miles (483 km). That’s far far more than the original estimate of 250+ miles (402 km) and Chevrolet officials told us they anticipate the crossover to be the most cost-effective electric car with a variety of 300 miles (483 km).

Speaking of pricing, Chevrolet revealed the model is now slated to begin about $34,995. That’s up from the prior estimate of $30,000, but officials noted the model will be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit. This will decrease the price tag to about $27,495 and that is a bargain for an electric crossover.

Customers searching to get their hands on a single of the very first Equinox EVs will have to shell out about $50,000 for a “well-equipped” 2RS variant. Orders open subsequent week and the launch variant will be presented in front- and all-wheel drive configurations. The former will commence at $48,995 even though the latter will set you back $52,395.

That’s fairly pricey for an Equinox, but officials noted early adopters usually want nicely-equipped models with all the bells and whistles. Speaking of which, consumers will uncover an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and a 17.7-inch infotainment method. They’ll be joined by Super Cruise, a wireless smartphone charger, a multi-colour ambient lighting method, and a energy liftgate. Other highlights incorporate a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and 21-inch wheels with a black finish.

The front-wheel drive Equinox EV 2RS will have an EPA-estimated variety of 319 miles (513 km), which is 59 miles (95 km) far more than the rear-wheel drive Tesla Model Y. However, that distinct crossover is less expensive and begins at $43,990.


As a refresher, front-wheel drive variants are slated to have an electric motor generating 210 hp (157 kW / 213 PS) and 242 lb-ft (327 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, the output need to climb to 290 hp (216 kW / 294 PS) and 346 lb-ft (469 Nm) of torque.
