The Chevrolet Equinox is a popular SUV due to its versatility and performance. With the new Equinox EV, you get the best of both worlds. It takes an already impressive vehicle and makes it even better with a fully electric powertrain and more standard and available features.
The Equinox EV is powered by one or two electric motors that produce either 288 horsepower or 557 horsepower. With the battery fully charged, it can go up to 319 miles. Some of the key features include the following:
The single-motor models feature front-wheel drive, while the dual-motor versions offer all-wheel drive. All trims have DC fast charging capability, which will add 70 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
Every Equinox EV comes standard with the Chevy Safety Assist bundle of advanced driver-assistance features. This includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure mitigation, and automatic high-beam headlights.
The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s electric powertrain can deliver 557 horsepower and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds. The RS trim offers the most range, capable of traveling up to 324 miles on a full charge.
Chevy offers the Blazer EV in three trim levels, including the LT, RS, and performance-focused SS. The sporty Blazer EV has a bold exterior that takes cues from the Camaro. It offers a spacious interior with several advanced technologies. Some of the Chevrolet Blazer EV’s key features include the following:
The rear-wheel-drive RS trims offer the best driving range of 324 miles on a full charge. The all-wheel-drive models can travel up to 279 miles before needing charging. The Blazer EV will work with a DC fast charger, which will add up to 78 miles of range in 10 minutes.
Every Blazer EV has a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies. These include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. The blind-spot intervention system steers the Blazer EV back into its lane if you try to change lanes with a vehicle in your blind spot, while the intersection collision mitigation feature applies the brakes to avoid a collision at an intersection.
The Silverado EV has the longest range in the Chevy lineup. Its electric motors generate up to 754 horsepower and can travel up to 400 miles on a full charge. When properly equipped, this truck can tow up to 10,000 pounds. Besides the utility of the truck bed, this EV offers lockable storage in the front due to the absence of an engine or transmission. Some of the Chevrolet Silverado EV’s features and performance highlights include the following:
The Silverado EV is available in a crew cab configuration with two rows of seats. The rear seats provide over 44 inches of legroom, while both rows offer plenty of headroom. A huge center console in the RST trim has space for a cooler if you need to bring your lunch or snacks along on the ride.
Going green for your next new vehicle is great for the environment and good for your wallet. Take a look at some of the benefits of leasing or buying new Chevy EVs.
Choosing an EV will save you a significant amount of money in fuel costs. You’ll never have to visit the gas station, and since electricity is less expensive than gas, you can save up to 50% by switching to electric power.
EVs do not produce any harmful emissions. Driving an EV means you will help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
EVs require less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Since there is no engine, there is no need for regular oil and filter changes. Many EVs have a regenerative braking system, which translates to less wear and tear. The brakes on an EV will last longer than those on a gas-powered vehicle.
Since EVs have fewer mechanical parts, there is less chance that something will go wrong. The most common problems are often related to damaged tires or axles.
As EVs become more popular, the charging infrastructure continues to grow. Public charging stations are a more common site across the country, making it easier to recharge batteries no matter where you are.
