2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV RS: PROS, CONS, AND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO OWN

EV Channels Review

The reviewer, a new owner of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS, provides an in-depth, personal perspective after three weeks of ownership. Key pros highlighted include its attractive price point, impressive 300-mile range, smooth and stable driving dynamics, and ample cargo space. The reviewer praises the vehicle's comfortable ride, especially with the swapped 17-inch winter tires, and its nimble handling compared to larger EVs like the Blazer EV. On the downside, the reviewer expresses dissatisfaction with the non-motorized, protruding door handles and the inconvenient placement of the drive mode selection, which requires screen interaction. The charging speed, capped at 100 kW in winter conditions (below the advertised 150 kW), and the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are also noted as cons. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer unequivocally recommends the Equinox EV RS for its overall value, practicality, and comfortable ownership experience, making it a sensible choice for many EV buyers.
