Concerns over federal tax credits mean electric vehicles are in high demand nationwide. If you’ve been considering upgrading, the industry has made many strides forward and they are all beautifully showcased in none other than the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV. Here’s why you should pick one up today before those incentives are going, going, gone!
Cost to Benefit Proportion
In the past, EVs have been infamously expensive. It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla was exclusively considered a luxury brand and the only real name in the game, with past models starting prices reaching as high as $80,000. Tesla’s newest release, the Model 3 may release at $35,000, but it only offers a range of 220 miles.
The 2025 Chevy Equinox EV on the other hand, boasts a lower MSRP of $34,995 with an EPA-rated 319 miles and a tested 362 miles according to auto website Edmunds. Other than cost, another key issue with electric vehicles includes range anxiety – also known as worry about the shorter range compared to traditional gas vehicles. With its long miles, the 2025 Equinox EV beats out competition like the Tesla Model Y, the BMW i7, and the Hyundai Ioniq 6.
Charging Time
Another pain point for those on the fence about changing to electric is the length of charging periods. Very few of today’s EVs charge under 30 minutes and the Chevy Equinox is no exception, with a DC fast charger charging time of 36 minutes. Most vehicles in the Chevy Equinox’s category can only manage 10-80% charging times of around 25 minutes, keeping this amazing compact SUV competitive.
Future-Worthy Tech
The 2025 Equinox EV packs more into value than range and price alone, with fantastic tech features including ventilated front seats, Chevy’s EV efficiency tools like one-pedal driving and regen on demand, and a crystal clear 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen.
Safety For You, Your Friends, and Your Family
Arguably the most important feature when buying a car, safety ratings and features should be the number one factor that affects your decision. Thankfully, the Equinox offers some of the highest marks in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) strict safety testing, with 5 stars across the board in overall rating, frontal crash, rollover, and side crash.
Drive your EV confidently with Chevy Safety Assist at your disposal, a package of six advanced safety and driver assistance features including Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam, Enhanced Auto Park Assist, HD Surround Vision, Intersection Auto Emergency Braking, and SuperCruise.
