Perfectly reasonable, logical vehicle choice considering the average new car price is over $40k now.

The 2025 Equinox EV features up to 2 permanent magnet electric motors, about 330 miles of range, and starts at $34,995....but also qualifies for a $7500 federal tax credit.


If this is Ultium, it's probably also a decent product. But Chevrolet will struggle to build a few hundred of them before the end of the year. Their own CEO says that they are in EV "production hell".

The big question for early adopters will be how to handle component replacements (batteries in particular) as these vehicles age. The battery pack is the big question mark IMO.

Why not just make a non plug in hybrid version of the same ice vehicle?

Why are these people stupid?


It’s like, oh let’s just skip a generation of vehicles people would be ready to adopt now.
