The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV made its big debut in September of the 2022 calendar year, slotting in underneath the Chevy Blazer EV with regard to Chevrolet’s all-electric crossover lineup. Production of the 2024 Equinox EV is currently underway at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, as GM Authority covered last week. Now, GM has officially announced 2024 Chevy Equinox EV trim level pricing details.
“We are excited to share a pricing update for the Chevy Equinox EV, as dealer ordering will begin soon for most models,” GM states. “As announced last fall, the Equinox EV 1LT with a starting MSRP of $34,995 will be available for ordering later in the year.”
Check out the table below for more information on the starting MSRP figures for the 2024 Equinox EV. Note that prices include destination freight charge (DFC), set at $1,395, but exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees, optional equipment, and any potential tax credit benefits:
| Trim Level | Drivetrain | 2024 MSRP + DFC |
|---|---|---|
| 1LT | FWD | $34,995 |
| 1LT | AWD | $38,295 |
| 2LT | FWD | $43,295 |
| 2LT | AWD | $46,595 |
| 2RS | FWD | $44,795 |
| 2RS Launch Edition | FWD | $48,995 |
| 2RS | AWD | $48,095 |
| 2RS Launch Edition | AWD | $52,395 |
| 3LT | FWD | $45,295 |
| 3LT | AWD | $48,595 |
| 3RS | FWD | $46,795 |
| 3RS | AWD | $50,095 |
It’s also worth noting that the Equinox EV will be eligible this year for a Clean Vehicle Federal Tax Credit of up to $7,500, which is not included in the pricing figures listed above. However, as an example, an eligible customer who purchases a new Equinox EV 1LT FWS would pay $34,995, while the tax credit would bring the final price down to $27,495.
GM has also confirmed that it expects the Equinox EV to be the most-affordable electric vehicle to offer an EPA-certified 319 miles of range on a full charge (FWD), while confirming that the Equinox EV AWD will offer an EPA-estimated 285 miles of range per charge.
As a reminder, the Chevy Equinox EV rides on the GM BEV3 platform, and utilizes GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors for motivation. In addition to sale in North America, the Equinox EV will also be manufactured and sold in China.

$53,000 Equinox EV!!! That’s hilarious!
Range is still too low for initial battery capacity. 400 miles needs to be the minimum, 500 miles would be better.
Then one would at least have the ability to somewhat use an EV for a road trip.
Only very expensive luxury ev’s get those range numbers
Thats becuase EVs are still nothing more than a very expensive, luxury niche-market lifestyle item… No matter what the clueless politicians and politically motivated corporate leadership try to mandate, the reality is battery technology and charging infatructure just isn’t suited for mass-market adoption, especially in colder climates. Work from home early adopter’s and tik-tok fanboys living off their parent’s success don’t mind jumping through hoops to charge, the rest of us just need to be able jump in our cars in the morning and get to work…
I used my Chevy Bolt EV (238-mile range) for road trips from 2017-2022, no problem. And I now use my Kia EV6 (310-mile range) for road trips from 2022 to now, no problem. All it requires is a little extra planning using PlugShare, no problem. When I stopped to charge, I made sure to combine it with a meal within a very short walking distance, no problem.
Baloney. Yeah, maybe works for a single person who can run their own schedule, or maybe a patient couple. But here’s the case study:
Disney World is 621 miles from my home. In my 2014 GMC Acadia starting with a full tank, barring any major traffic incidents, I need to fill up with gas exactly one time. It is a very manageable and straightforward 9-hour drive (10 hours with stops) with the family that can be done without having to wakeup early, stop often, or arrive late. A very standard road trip for a family, easily done in a day.
In a 300 mile range EV, I would need to stop for HOURS to fully charge the battery back to a 300 mile range — and I would still need to stop and charge AGAIN just to get through the gates. That turns a relatively short one-day trip into a two-day family nightmare, complete with additional lodging costs.
Non-starter.
Hence why batteries need to get to a minimum 400-500 miles of initial range. Then it would only require a 1-2 hour charge to complete a 600-700 mile road trip, with the option of fully charging to complete a 800-1,000 mile long day.
300 miles or less of true range is DOA for real drivers.
Well, this is still basically the introductory period for electric cars, but they even at this point are the second most practical fueling for most people.
Using a horse for transportation is so much more difficult and usually more expensive that only the Amish use them daily, but even they use gasoline powered van services for long distance conclaves.
Since ev switchover for most people is nowhere near as compelling there will be plenty of internal combustion vehicles for many, many decades in the future since the product and extensive perfected infrastructure is still relatively low cost.
I drive 3 battery-electrics and have all electric home yard appliances, 5 HP pressure washer, lawn mower , snow blower, etc,but I’m the exception.. Most people use gasoline for everything; it being so compelling that even some fellowships of the Amish use Sperry New Holland labor saving farm equipment.
Why would anyone drive 600 miles to see Woke Disney crap? Yuck !
I drove our Bolt EV in 2019 from Ontario, Canada to Orlando, FL and back (just over 1200 miles each way). We had four people in the car with luggage.
Bolt EV charges from 10% to 70% in 40mins.
We took meal brakes to coincide with charging stops.
We had no major issues.
The charging infrastructure is 10x better than it was in 2019. So today I could make that trip much easier and faster today.
Modern EV’s today have even more range and charge nearly twice as fast as the Bolt EV. To the point were the people will be the limiting factor not the car.
What caliber is the gun someone is holding to your head forcing you to buy one? Shut up with all the complaining already. If you don’t like EV’s don’t buy one, it’s that simple.
But were talking to some that want it and want it now….aka gasing up in 5 minutes but some may talk to someone for 15 minutes more while there….LOL…..so waiting the extra few minutes for the 1 or 2 trips at most that one might take is just too much to ask for while ignoring all the other benefits that outweight that temporary extra planning and inconvenience until the tech improves futher JUST LIKE their cell phones, tvs, and and and…. meanwhile we will enjoy it.
Road trips are more about charging speeds than initial range. Personally I stop every 3ish hours anyways. If I can get a mostly full (80%) charge at the stop, then it’s no problem. DC fast charging at 150kW is good enough while I grab a coffee or bite to eat for 15-20 minutes. 250kW fast charging takes it down to 10-15 minutes.
20-80% in the Equinox is going to be more like 40 minutes.
Andy –
If the Ultium Batteries in the Equinox EV are analogous to the 102.5 kwh propulsion battery in my caddy LYRIQ, then you’d be disappointed.. GM claims 190 kw peak when measured has been 186 kw, yet this is only for a short while. I did a 0% to 100% test, and at 82%, the charge rate drops to 4 kw. Slowly goes back up to 19-20 kw for the remainder of the charging period.
On a 20-80% charge, I get on average 72 kw. Since most EQ EVs will have batteries about 4/5 ths of this 102.5 kwh or smaller, I’d expect the average charging rate to be 57 kw or less, for obvious reasons.
On a somewhat unrelated subject, I find it more than humorous that ALL manufacturers next year are dumping their CCS1 fast charging Jacks on the cars, and switching over to Tesla Jacks – just as Elon fired all his supercharger people and has basically said no new supercharger locations, and pretty slim chance for upgrades of existing ones…
Of course, he also wants a $55 Billion pay raise, which would pay for 40 years of six figure salaries for all the fired people.
Why is GM making it so difficult for themselves.
12 Trim Levels……WHY
Follow Tesla and make two to three Trim levels where the only things that change is the power train (Single Motor or Dual)
It’s 5 trim levels, then you choose if you want AWD or not. And if it’s the 2RS, you choose whether you want the Launch Edition option package.
It may not be Tesla-simple but it’s definitely not any more complicated than most other automakers. And it’s not like GM doesn’t know how to manage this (how many variants of a Chevy 1500 are there? Corvette? Escalade? Yukon? Etc…).
I do think the trim names could be more intuitive and ditch the alphanumeric.
@J Roy
It is all about the complexity of the line. Why offer so many combinations?
No wonder GM is having issues scaling up their EV’s
Make it as simple as possible and then when you have it just right you can start adding new Trims.
Because as soon as you make the choices fewer, whiney people start complaining they can’t buy what they want. GM has a pretty good combination of colors and options that allow the customers to decide whereas a lot of other manufacturers push their definition of what you want and make that decision for you.
Especially after Mary just talked to investors about simplifying the brand…
@JT
Exactly.
GM has no clue how to produce let alone mass produce BEV’s
So top of the line 55k oof
minus 7500. Like a poster stated above, a Rav4 prime is in the same ballpark.
If you consider that the only maintenance will be the windshield washer fluid, and the only large expenditure will be new tires after 20,000 miles or more (which is what every gas vehicle will spend too), then count all the savings from not buying gasoline and all the unneded maintenance in ten years, an EV Equinox is cheaper than an equal gas version. I did not include the time savings of all the maintenance plus trips to get gasoline. Life will be cheaper and simpler with an EV Equinox!
EVs still have to purchase electricity. 18 cents per KWH at most homes and on road trips most likely around 40 cents per KWH if you use a DC rapid charger. At home much cheaper than ICE. On long road trips much more expensive than ICE. I will stick with my diesel Suburban. Kinda tough to top 29.1 mpg and 765 miles of range. It costs about $90.00 to fill the tank. A EV the Suburban size would have a battery pack 200 KW or bigger. At 40 cents per KWH you are looking at $80.00 per charge with a range around 350 to 400 if you are lucky. ICE is cheaper on long road trips.
My electricity is free.
Me 2 and not planned but worked out nevertheless now 12 years!
how about battery replacement after ten years?
How anout engine or transmission replacements after ten years? They cost much more.
BTW, Chevy Volt owners had scantly few battery replacements, and they are still running after 13 years or more!
Yep! And oh btw how many keep their cars that long as many like new though point is taken and I am hoping this round with the Ultium platform those replacements will come much easier at a reasonable price for those of us that do keep it longer rather than turn over just before the warranty is up.
I did not realize they did away with shocks/struts, brakes, steering linkages(which I hear ARE a problem on teslas) infotainment problems(remember the flash drive wear out issue on the S?), seat problems, door problems, AC problems, … A car is not just a motor and 4 tires.
When a tire rotation is beyond his scope of understanding vehicle maintenance and instead just replaces said tires at 20K mile intervals, I don’t think he worries about all that other stuff.
Ignorance is bliss, until you run out of charge and can’t find a working charging station in a blizzard… But hey, no more engine oil changes!
If your tires only last 20K miles, clearly you are already saving money by NOT DOING any maintenance…
I would have loved for this to have been in the lower $30k not the mid $30k. But atleast its in a reasonable price range unlike the delusional price of the Blazer EV. My only question now, how does this compare in size to the Model Y? Because this looks miniscule next to the Y and I can now have a Y for roughly the same price.
Update: Ok. So apparently they are roughly the same size. Which is a good thing. So hopefully, GM has a winner with this model and they decide to sell it globally.
Um this thing is 190″ long. It’s actually a bit bigger than a Model Y.
I actually wished they made it a bit smaller (similar to the Model Y) to better differentiate it from the Blazer EV.
With the $7500 tax credit I am guessing GM will be production constrained on the Equinox EV for some time. This will be cheaper than any ICE compact SUV and have a far lower cost of ownership. Only people truly biased against EV’s would not consider this if they are in the market for a compact SUV.
I highly doubt the 1LT version will be available anytime soon. GM loves to put out pricing but only builds the super expensive higher trims.
Launch version is the 2RS version.
All trim options are to be available by the fall. Probably to coincide with Ultium Spring Hill battery ramp.
lol, only people truly biased? how about people who dont want to spend 50k for a vehicle? or live in apartments and cant recharge? PEople who like freedom in where they want to go?
The derangement of the pro EV crowd is something to behold.
You will not find gasoline in a blizzard, either. Foolish are those who attrmpt to drive in one. And how do those who live in apartments get gas? They have to go out!
At least a home ownet gets free power from the Sun if they have a photovoltaic energy system and thus charge for free.
Wonder what’s included in the “Launch Edition” making a 2RS FWD $2200.00 more then a 3RS FWD?
Two best days of EV ownership: Day you buy it and the day you sell it.
And every day you plug in instead of going to a gas station.
Note it says an EPA-certified 319 miles of range on a full charge. Don’t they tell you only to charge them up to 80% so they don’t overheat and start a fire? If so, what is the range at 80% charge? No matter the price now, I think the money-losing part will come when you try to sell it.
Hopefully we’re done with all the fires in GM products.
I regularly charge my 3 battery-electric vehicles to 100%
The new Ultrium cells don’t catch fire. The BMS limits the charge at the cell level even if you do charge the battery to 100%.
BTW, there are thousands of car fires every day. Seems that it is so common to you that it does not make news anymore unless you are the victim.
“Ill take things that never happened for $500 Alex.” Thousands of car fires every day. Times 365 days a year. This is why people are sick and tired of propagandists trying to force stuff on everyone else. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
Charging past 80% increases battery degradation. Not a big problem to do it every once in a while for a road trip.
Well, when internal combustion engines first started being mass produced how long would that 600+ mile drive have taken you?? Also, most of these electric vehicles charge to 80% in about 20-30minutes. That will eventually get much faster too. Electric is the way of the future, just as horses became a thing of the past, so will internal combustion engines (Eventually).
When people ask me how long does it take me to charge my car. I tell them it takes “me” 10 seconds. Because that’s how much of my time it actually uses.
Unlike a gas vehicle I don’t need to sit and watch it. It can use that time to do other things, sleep, grab a bite to eat, something productive, whatever. And it’s amazing how many people can’t wrap their heads around this. They are so stuck in the gas car mentality they can’t think beyond it.
And as others have pointed out most EV’s can DC fast charge 10 to 80% in about 30mins. Which is just enough time to use the washroom and grab a quick bite to eat.
