I bought a Bolt EV in January, paid an amazingly low price with the federal tax rebate, and feel like I have a secret most people don't know about. The car is quiet, fast, smooth, and with reduced electric rates at night for charging I'm paying about 15% in fuel costs compared to my gas car.
We just bought a Bolt EUV for my wife a couple months ago and feel the same way. Very underrated vehicle, we love it. But it has me itching to replace my Volt with a pure EV!
@@johntenpas70 I was interested in the Volt a few years ago, but finally decided to go full EV, and so glad I did. No gasoline, no oil changes, minimal brake wear - it's an improvement in so many ways.
Let’s see if you can get it to start in the winter when it’s been sitting out in sub-zero temps most of the day. I hope you have an Uber app on your phone.
@@joesinkovits6591 That was literally one story this past winter in Chicago that went viral. I've had 4 EV's since 2016 and never had that issue.
@@joesinkovits6591 That's FUD. I've had several EVs since 2014 and had 0 issues starting them in sub 0 Temps.
LOVE, LOVE that Riptide blue!! Gorgeous shade...
Dave, you're the man,, keeping it real and showing us the in and outs of the gm products that you sell!
Very cool EV, love the interior and the screens. Just wish there were more charging stations out there, including at apartments
Charging locations are growing. There are a few youtube channels following em.
I love that you point out all the things you like and things that don't seem to make sense...even though you're selling this product. Awesome review!
Equinox EV is a great looking vehicle, and that blue LT is sharp with those blue accents on the inside. I'd get blue if I got an LT, and radiant red if I got the RS since that has red interior accents!
I bought a used bolt thanks to your older videos. I'm excited to see how the equinox EV does.
I just picked up a 2025 Trax LT for my son and he loves it. The Trax is the best bang for you buck with what you are getting.
Awesome first car!! Great choice. (assuming it is their 1st car)
@@DaveBsellsChevy Yes it is, I am a big Chevy guy, I have a 2023 Silverado 1500 LTZ, And a 2021 Equinox. ... looking at a Blazer EV right now but inventory is slim in Canada right now.
Yes, that dash glaring on the windshield is also present on the Blazer EV. I see it every day under certain daylight conditions. Good review.
Great video. I love the Equinox. Provides great transportation.
Congratulations . It is very nice looking. I always love blue.
Nice video. Well done.
The new Traverse Z71 is sharp, especially in black.
I like this SUV but would be very concerned about that reflection in the windshield. Thanks for the video.
yeah i drove one and didn't like that, so I bought the blazer instead......
It’s not just the reflection but that huge box behind the mirror covering g 25% of the visibility..
Good to see Equinox EV's are selling well in NJ. They don't seem to be able to sell here in Oklahoma, but then gas is $2.75 a gallon.
Nice job on video Mr Dave
I'm the travel nurse that commented on your last video about your arms 😂 but love the reviews and I have fallen in love with your state of new jersey, I will definitely take another assignment up this way if one comes along but I'm leaving in the morning to go back to my home state of Georgia
Love Jersey??? I don’t think you’ve been to Newark.😅
@@doggy911check out paterson on of the most beautiful towns around. The local their are extra friendly ;)
@@VLaDSiZI will thanks. Don’t accept any assignments in Newark though, it’s almost 3rd world there now.😢
I'm all about the life style.
Dave B, excellent video, just looked at one a couple of weeks ago. Give us some more info on the 1LT when you know something 👍
I think 1LT was supposed to be later in the year. It's not even on the website as an option at the moment
Love this!! Maybe will replace our ev6 when the lease comes up. the blazer Ev does look very stylish also so another great option !! Choices
Nice video. Maybe the dash reflection problem will be updated in a refresh sometime in the future.
I have to pay attention and see if I notice it in other vehicles.
Our family just leased 3 EV's from Nissan. Each are 24 month leases with $0 down. The monthly payments are $58, $185, and 199. That is great for a $40K-50K vehicle. I like the Equinox EV. Colorado makes leasing an EV so inexpensive with $15K in tax credits.
Nice, Thanks for sharing
Great Vid as always. How about an update on the wall tree?
Hey Dave loving that Equinox. As I have just purchased a 22 Bolt EUV I will have to wait. Now that my wife has driven the Bolt a few times now. She is looking to go EV in a few years after her lease is up. She was so anti EV I didn't think I would get the Bolt. Now that we have an EV and I did all the research on EVs she is coming around and is eying the Equinox EV as her next vehicle. Keep up the great content Dave.
So many people are hesitant or even resistant to adopting EVs….until they drive one. Almost nobody drives an EV and says “that’s not a fun drive”.
The dashboard reflection is interesting. I have a Bolt EUV and the reflection of the dash into the driver’s side mirror is so strong as to sometimes making it impossible to use depending on the position of the sun. You’d think the engineers would pay more attention to these issues/distractions.
love your EV reviews
Thanks
If the current Bolt EV can get retro upgraded to this tech in say next 3-5 years that would be awesome too! I know the Ultium Bolts are coming back in a couple of years but man....imagine the current Bolt charging at 150kw😎
Seems like a nice car!
I was surprised at how high the cup holder/center console sits. Feels very much like a Ford pickup. Overall, I am incredibly impressed with the feel of the materials in the cabin. That glare on the windshield from the textured panel on the dash may be problematic. Thanks for pointing that out as the one I say in was in the showroom so they could highlight the ambient lighting.
Great video. We have a 2017 Volt and a 2019 Bolt. Considering replacing the Volt and I'd like to go compare the Equinox and Blazer EVs. Not sure what we'd get if we replace the Volt. Having one PHEV and an EV works well.
I am curious how many checked luggage style suitcases fit in the Equinox EV. I know I can fit 3 in the back of my Bolt EUV, and perhaps one in the middle of the backseat of a Bolt EUV. I'm just wondering if all 4 can fit in the back of the Equinox EV since it has the longer trunk area. If anybody has an Equinox EV and is bored and wants to try it, it might be worth seeing. I'm just thinking of the scenario where 4 people drive to the airport and they each have their own large suitcase. The 62 inch or under suitcases.
Great article, Thanks. I drove two Equinox EV’s and loved them. So quiet, smooth and the one pedal driving was fantastic. Both of them were FWD and though they had adequate power, I wish it had a little more without having to go to the AWD. The Equinox chassis is the same as the Blazer, Chevrolet should offer the same power train. I told the salesman if I ordered the 3RS AWD red tint coat with the red and black interior, how long would it take to get ?, he said 3 or 4 months. Why so long? It seems to me that Chevrolet came out with just a few of these but they were not prepared for mass production. Congratulations to the new owner of the blue one, I know they will love it.
As a detailer for a Chevrolet dealer, I’m happy these features are available in Chevrolet evs.. easier to clean an equinox ev over an lyriq imo
If you’re looking for content to make, I’d love to see a back-to-back comparison of rear seat space with a rearward facing baby seat. Equinox EV vs. Blazer EV. Blazer EV seems huge, I’m curious if one fits in an Equinox EV with no compromises too.
Is there a toggle to disable the three (excluding the driver side door) door handles? My wife would not want those three door handles available for just anyone to access in a parking lot.
Great question... I will find out tomorrow. I believe all door handles open but the other doors will still be locked
Would love your review on the new traverse LT!! Including the cameras
A reflection of the top of the instrument panel is the result of a severely sloped windshield (designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency). This reflection will happen regardless of the make and model.
Yo Dave, size wise how is it compared to the Bolt EUV? If I have a 2022 EUV, would you say the Equinox is worth the switch?
Great question.. going to line up the EUV, Equinox, and Blazer to compare
Most people interested in EV’s are us younger generations. Who are the people that will be buying cars longer? Younger generations. EV’s aren’t going anywhere lol
I’m 72 and drive a Bolt EV. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. A lot of old people are set in their ways, not me I love technology.
You going to do any side by side comparisons against competitor evs?
Not sure if I missed it later in the video, but did you find a setting for one pedal mode in reverse? I love one pedal mode in my EUV, but admit it would be kind of interesting if it was disabled when reversing.
There is no setting that I could find.
Thx for the reply! Keep up the good work
So, it's been mentioned and said that all trims don't have a wireless phone charger? And I don't see a 12v front console outlet either. My sales guy said an EV wouldn't benefit me as I don't do a ton of driving, but did say he'd sell me one if I really wanted it...lol. I'm also keeping an eye on the 2025 Equinox as well.
Any idea on where I can get info on the data collection/usage policy?
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Does the Equinox EV have a wireless phone charger built in?
From GM Authority: In a rather unusual design choice by GM, the all-new 2024 Chevy Equinox EV crossover does not include a smartphone charger as either a standard feature or an option on any trim level or model.
To be fair, every built-in wireless charger I've ever used in any vehicle acts more as a heating pad & battery killer than a charger, so it's not a huge loss.
@@NSZachP I use mine (2021 Equinox) all of the time. However, with Chevrolet going away from Android Auto and Apple Carplay, and using built-in alternatives, I could see less need for wireless charging. Plus, many 3rp party car mounts have wireless charging capabilities. Still, it seems as though there is no need to exclude the option. It's another step backwards for GM in my opinion.
Hey Dave just got blazer ev does the app work off the car WiFi my amazon music never stays connected
Darn, it looks like it's got the same seat issue as in the Blazer video.
There are options at every other make too?
Is super cruise available on all trims? How much is it?
Do you have any 3RS or 3LT on the lot? Can you do a video of the walk up animations?
Hey Dave - is there a version of this Equinox EV with dual zone climate controls? Or do you need to bump up to a Blazer EV to get that?
Yes, dual zone climate in the Equinox EV 3LT and 3RS
When’s the new Equinox and refreshed Tahoe and suburban coming out
Probably this fall/winter
What employees got the Blazer EV hopefully the other Dave still has his ZL1
BOLT EUV has the SuperCruise 'brain' in the trunk consuming the spare tire area. Do we know where they moved the SC Head unit on this Equinox EV?
So you have to pull the door handles twice on the equinox ev to open? Why not just pull once to open?
Does it come with adaptive cruise control?
Yes
What do the current EV incentives in NJ look like other than no sales tax?
Please make a video comparing the Equinox EV and the Blazer EV! Do you think they'll compete with each other?
They will compete no different than the gas ones do. Equinox is lower price and more popular... Blazer buyers tend to want something sportier looking and larger
Just test drove one. Does anyone know if the rear seats recline at all?
Do any of the Equinox EVs have the regen on-demand paddle or are they all one pedal drive?
Other videos show it's located to the left of the steering wheel on the the steering column..
I don't like the swinging door handles on the Equinox EV. I've had to deal with a lot of brittle plastic on my older cars, I bet they're going to be a common point of failure.
Looking at the new Traverse with a lot of interest 👀 Love Super Cruise! Hope it comes to the new Duramax Tahoe.
Does this have a camp mode?
Love the stylings of the Equinox EV overall. Not a huge fan of the retracting door handles, as snow & ice storms in the midwest aren't uncommon during the winter.
As far as the dash reflections, I had a very similar problem with a previous vehicle. A carpeted Dashboard Cover solved it pretty easily, though it is slightly annoying that you have to do something aftermarket to address the issue.
I have three issues with the Equinox EV
One: It does not come with a heads up display
Two the dirver and passenger side mirrors I feel are two small
Three: When I went on a test drive in the DFW area I felt like when I stepped on the gas peddle I felt like there was a delay vs other electric cars
I would love to get an Equinox ev but i am wanting it to have a heads up display and the nacs charge port.
any information about the 1LT would be great.
Right now it seems like the 1LT wont be available until maybe end of year.
@DaveBsellsChevy thank for the heads-up.
@DaveBsellsChevy
thanks for the heads-up.
How's the wall tree doing?
Thriving!!
Hey Dave just wondering how did you fit in that C6 corvette you had? You said your 6 foot 5 inches. I’m 6 foot 3. I’d like to get myself a C5 or C6 eventually, but am concerned with fitment and if I’d be cramped. It would be a weekend toy car for me.
Fit in it like a glove... Loved that car! The C7's I felt cramped and now in the C8's I am comfortable. Just have to find that perfect position.
@@DaveBsellsChevy awesome! Thanks so much !
So are you upgrading?
If I do it will be the Silverado EV
This looks much smaller than the gas Equinox. Looks to be the same size of the Trax or am I wrong?
It’s bigger than the gas equinox
@@andrewandron7087 I just looked on the Chevrolet website for the specs and the gas version is 183.10 inches long and the EV is 190.55 inches long. I had to check because it sure doesn't look like it.
Where is the hazard lights red button?!!
I like that thing but like you say it's not for everyone.
For 46k it’s hard to pick this over a Tesla model Y
Dave loves talking and making videos of EV’s All.The.Time. 😂
My EV videos get the most interaction.
OR I could just make nonsense videos about the crashing car market for the last four years😂
@@DaveBsellsChevy Plenty of other people doing that for you on the internet.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Nooo...too many others do that, it's like doomsday if you believe them. I would like more in depth video's of you touring the dealership like the service center and what steps you take to get a car ready, etc. don't see too many of those. I'm just tired of EV's being pushed everywhere.
@@DaveBsellsChevy not an EV guy, I love the seasonal notice from Peco saying with the hot weather, AC's are taxing the grid, yet society wants us to go all electric.
Talk about a depreciating vehicle and EV market is bad right now 😑. Great research customer!
What?
@AbelCade hey oilman, that is your best comment! Gasoline revenue is up, that is why no one has any money. But either way Chevy has you covered.
If you don’t want one then don’t buy one. But Why bash someone that does?
Because Cars are great investments, said no one ever.
Any money lost in depreciation will be made back in fuel costs savings within the first 3-4 years of ownership. You can tell your anti-EV trolls are politically driven because you don’t operate based upon facts. You’re just here to push a narrative despite how far from reality it may be.
Do you not sell camaros anymore? Have barely seen any in a while
They were discontinued, last made Jan 2024, probably converting to electic too.
@@ericluhtanen Oh that's sad, well time to look at ford then
@@MR3DDev Yup, holding onto my Challenger Scat Pack.
@@MR3DDev Last generation of Mustang gas as well. Don't wait too long.
Do you see a electric trailblazer coming in the near future?
My guess would be an EV sedan or coupe. And the updated 2026 Bolt
How much does the Google maps cost after the 8 years are up?
That's a question for 2032..... with the way tech advances we will probably be using completely different systems and it won't even matter
@@DaveBsellsChevy I see. Thanks. Interesting videos!
I think the 1LT is going to sell like hot cakes when it does hit the lots. I hope dealerships don't take on $2k-$5k. Here in VA, the 3 places have done that.
I am assuming with Google built-in there is a monthly subscription fee
First 8 years are included
@@DaveBsellsChevy WOW. 👍👍
Can you show how this new google system works with an Apple phone?
It doesn't support Carplay or Android Auto.
Hi Dave I'm not a fan of the electric vehicles I prefer the gas powered vehicles I have a 2019 Chevrolet Impala and I love it
Great
Had a 2017 Chevy Impala and absolutely loved it. I think I want another one too, would be nice if they brought the impala back on the alpha 2 chassis.
No Apple CarPlay???
Nope
@@DaveBsellsChevy such a deal breakbreaker for me and many, many others, gm dropped the ball on that one, they will bring it back i'm sure.
@@JimFantazzia all people have to do is have an open mind to see how it actually works. Will still read texts, Waze, spotify, etc still work. Also, one plus is the camera will still work for facetime where as with CarPlay it doesnt
I think this looks like a great car, I’m just afraid of how these cars will age. No only the battery, but all the interior gadgets. I could see massive repair bills 10, or 15 years down the line if any of those screens start to fail etc. Not to mention the battery repairs. Although hopefully 10-15 years from now we’ll advance to actually fixing internal battery issues, rather than the current fix, which is just to replace the entire battery when there is something wrong with it.
Don’t let that fear stop you-it’s a fantom fear. EVs have been know to last much longer than gas cars. When you get one, you’ll wonder why you hesitated and why you listened to any propaganda spread by money interests and ignorant people.
$46K for an Equinox !!!!😳😳😳😳
Minus $7,500 federal rebate
Looks awesome. Those door handles will be broken within a year if you have kids.
As long as there are gas stations, I will be driving a ICE.
Sounds good
why gm no hybrids? gas or all electric?
Very Good Question. All 2025 Camrys are hybrids.
No Apple CarPlay. That’s a no for me.
No dual climate control?
Standard in 3LT and 3RS trims
EVs not selling good in northeast we still have many 2023 kia ev6 on lot and 25s are out soon
That’s Kia, this is *Chevrolet.* 🙄
Chevy needs to come out with hybrids…
Will never by a GM product again, no matter how cheap they get. Worst customer service after you by their product.
I have bought nothing but GM a since the early 1980’s. I had a Ford but quit them due to a bad dealer experience. Later, I got a GM employee discount through relatives but that ended when my sister passed last year. I generally have good experiences with GM dealers and if not, I go to another as there are several within driving distance. I may get an EV when my Blazer lease is up next year. I am thinking Blazer EV, Equinox EV or Tesla Model 3 or Y.
Nope if live in New York Manhattan 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Chevy needs to fire whoever is lead designer for EVs. They are all so ugly! Probably why they're EV number goals have been halved. No one wants them because of how they look!
Nice Video, but lately you have been pushing on EV"s . Not too many people are EV'S fans, seems inventory for those are piling up .
Govt forcing EV sales was a big mistake. Public is not interested.. 6 months from. Low 50% of new price. Absolute catastrophe for automakers. Losing Billions upon Billions in EV production..
What?
True. Even Rivian has halted plans to build a 5 Billion dollar, 1800 acre facility in Georgia. I say "halted" because if they had completely cancelled it, they would be at least partially responsible for millions in unrealized tax breaks they were given to build at that location. Hopefully Chevrolet will do better and plan better. Elon Musk warned these EV manufacturers years ago about proceeding with caution and few of them listened.
No one is forcing you to buy anything. He just told you you can buy a gasoline powered equinox. Tesla stock is $180 right now……. So…… just keep bitching
Government is not forcing ev sell government is forcing you to wear a seat belt
The Government isn’t forcing you to do anything stupid.
You can buy as many ICE vehicles as you want.
Stop with your Lies!
You guys keep drinking the Cool-Aid on these EV’s. Again, If the Govt is not paying you to drive them you wil not get one. That is the bottom line. Enough said. Wake up!
Lol, I will never understand this arguement on EV's. I guess Mike Jones doesnt like tax credits.
