“Charging in winter does take a lot longer, lucky if I get 10% back overnight on 110v but summer days can get 15%. Otherwise the power and acceleration is great and while not a sports car you can get that feeling at times.”
2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is its simpler trim lineup, led by a new lower-entry LT setup and the addition of LT 1 and LT 2. Both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions also receive a small power increase, but this is not a redesign.
About the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV
1st generation Equinox EV (2024-present), second model year; lineup simplification and lower-priced base-trim rollout.
Chevrolet positions the Equinox EV as the mainstream electric SUV for people who want to switch to an EV without giving up familiar SUV usefulness. The core pitch is straightforward: strong driving range, a roomy cabin, a very large touchscreen, and everyday family practicality at a price point well below many rivals. Compared with other compact EV SUVs, its biggest draw is value without going bare-bones on core tech and safety hardware.
The LT side of the 2025 lineup focuses on range, everyday value, and a 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. LT 2 adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera, and a power liftgate. RS emphasizes appearance with black exterior details and 21-inch black wheels while retaining the same large screen and 85-kWh battery.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Motor output increases slightly for both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. The 85-kWh battery and charging hardware carry over.
Styling
Alloy wheels become standard on LT, while roof rails move from standard equipment to an option on that trim.
Safety
The surround-view camera moves from standard equipment to an option on the base LT. LT 2 groups the surround-view camera with an upgraded set of driver-assistance features.
Tech
The LT equipment mix is reorganized. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power driver's seat move from standard equipment to options on the base LT, while LT 2 bundles more comfort and convenience features.

2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV
(21 reviews)
“I love this car. It feels powerful, yet light and easy. I love the feel of driving it and the ""get up and go"" of it all. I really, really miss Apple Carplay and wish this had a better interface, but I'm getting used to it. Overall, this is a solid car with a fantastic range. I don't regret this decision at all.”
“Owning an EV requires a change in mindset. It's not a gas vehicle. That being said it will be a good experience.”
