EV Channels Review
In this subzero cold weather range test, the 2025 Chevy Equinox LT AWD delivers a real-world range of approximately 145-150 miles when driven at 75 mph. The reviewer highlights that this is significantly less than the rated 309 miles, largely due to the extreme cold and the vehicle's heating system, which is noted as inefficient and a major energy consumer. The reviewer found the heating system to be a weak point, causing cabin fogging when the fan speed was reduced and leading to reduced acceleration warnings and "turtle mode" activation as early as 11-12% battery remaining. Despite these cold-weather limitations, the reviewer praises the quiet ride and recommends the AWD LT trim with the optional safety package as the best value, especially considering it qualifies for the full tax credit and comes in at under $40,000 before destination. The video also emphasizes the importance of the battery percentage display over the estimated miles remaining for accurate range assessment in EVs.
