Chevy is turning heads in the electric vehicle space with its all-new Equinox EV, a ride that blends style with sustainability.
Launched in early 2025, the Chevy Equinox EV starts at under $35,000 and delivers up to 319 miles of range, according to Electrek.
That mix of affordability and performance helped Chevy overtake Ford in U.S. EV sales, moving over 37,000 units through May.
The Equinox EV stands out for its sleek style, tech-forward displays, and spacious interior, offering a practical option for families and commuters alike.
For consumers, this means less money spent on gas and maintenance and more time spent enjoying the ride.
Automakers such as Ford, Hyundai, and Toyota are expanding their hybrid and electric lineups to meet rising demand for greener, more cost-effective options.
General Motors offers 13 electric models, including rugged pickups such as the Silverado EV and the upscale Cadillac Lyriq.
This helped the company claim about 15.5% of the U.S. EV market, more than doubling its share from the year before.
Some critics raise concerns about the environmental toll of battery production and mineral sourcing.
