The 2025 Chevy Equinox EV can be equipped with your choice of electric powertrain. It comes standard with an 85-kWh single motor option, which now makes 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, turning even the most ordinary drive to the office into an extraordinary experience. Those who want a bit more power during their ride—as well as all-wheel drive capabilities—will want to choose the 85-kWh dual-motor setup, which provides you with 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque for 2025.
This dual-motor powertrain adds a little more excitement to your everyday journey with quick acceleration and ample responsiveness.

When the Equinox EV is in charge of your journey, you can expect to travel longer. Its single-motor powertrain can travel up to 319 miles on a full charge, while the dual-motor version can travel up to 285 miles when fully charged. This is thanks to an abundance of features meant to prolong battery life, such as Regen on Demand, which directs the energy generated by braking to the battery to help keep it charged.
You can also take advantage of One-Pedal Driving, which allows you to use only the accelerator to speed up and slow down to help you maximize range. Relaxed driving helps you maintain your battery's integrity by prioritizing gentle acceleration, while cabin preconditioning allows you to heat or cool your cabin when the Equinox EV is plugged in so that you don't use unnecessary energy while you're driving.
Charging your Equinox EV is also easy, as you can use a multitude of different charging cords to help you power up wherever you happen to be, whether on the road or at home. Use a Level 1 charger in a 120-volt outlet or a Level 2 cord in a 240-volt outlet; the latter adds up to 34 miles of range per hour of charging.
If you're out and about, take advantage of the impressive network of public charging stations nationwide, allowing you to get approximately 70 miles of range in just ten minutes of charging.
