The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand since 2024.

The Equinox EV was introduced in January 2022 in a set of images at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and was originally planned to go on sale in the late 2023 for the 2024 model year. Chevrolet dealers began receiving deliveries of the 2024 Equinox EV in May 2024.{{cite web |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/05/2024-chevy-equinox-ev-deliveries-now-under-way/ |title=2024 Chevy Equinox EV Deliveries Now Under Way |date=2024-05-15 |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=GM Authority |first=Trey |last=Hawkins}}

The Equinox EV is built on GM’s BEV3 platform, featuring a design and underpinnings different from the ICE-powered Equinox.{{Cite web |last=Levin |first=Tim |title=Chevy unveiled its cheapest electric model yet, a $30,000 crossover SUV |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/chevy-electric-equinox-blazer-ev-electric-suv-2023-2022-1 |access-date=2022-01-06 |website=Business Insider |language=en-US}}

During its introduction, General Motors stated that Equinox EV would have a starting price of around {{Currency|30000|USD}} in the United States and would be offered in various LT and RS trim levels.{{Cite web|last=Capparella|first=Joey|date=2022-01-05|title=2024 Chevy Equinox EV Revealed, Will Start at around $30,000|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a38676580/2024-chevy-equinox-ev-revealed/|access-date=2022-01-06|website=Car and Driver|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|title=Chevrolet Previews Gorgeous Equinox EV: $30,000 Crossover/SUV|url=https://insideevs.com/news/558946/chevrolet-equinox-ev-preview/|access-date=2022-01-06|website=InsideEVs|language=en}}

Trim levels were detailed in September 2022. The 2024 base 1LT trim was to have an estimated range of {{convert|250|mi|km|abbr=on}}, and produce {{convert|210|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|242|lbft|Nm kgm|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} torque, but GM never actually produced the 2024 1LT trim. Non-base 2024 trims were 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS.

Chevrolet began manufacturing the 2024 Equinox EV in January 2024 at its Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.{{cite web |last=Lopez |first=Jonathan |date=2024-02-09 |title=2024 Chevy Equinox EV Production Under Way |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/02/2024-chevy-equinox-ev-production-under-way/ |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=GM Authority}} Chevrolet dealers began receiving deliveries of the 2024 Equinox EV in May 2024.

The Equinox EV is equipped with GM Ultium batteries which are shared with many other GM battery electric vehicles, including the similar but larger Chevrolet Blazer EV. A larger battery with {{convert|300|mi|km|abbr=on}} range was to be optional on the 2024 1LT, and standard on 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS. For the 2025 model year, all trims use this larger battery, which provides an EPA-estimated range of

{{convert|319|mi|km|abbr=on}} for all front wheel drive versions.

All trim levels have optional all-wheel drive, with dual motors producing {{convert|290|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|346|lbft|Nm kgm|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} torque, with an estimated range of {{convert|280|mi|km|abbr=on}}.

A V2L (vehicle-to-load) system was to be optional for the 2024 3RS trim level.{{cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2022/09/08/2024-chevrolet-equinox-ev-reveal|title=2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV revealed, starting price 'around' $30,000|website=AutoBlog|date=2022-09-08|first=Zac|last=Palmer}} However, GM deferred this capability to the 2025 model year, and as of September 2024 it remains unavailable even on 2025 vehicles.{{cite web |title=2025 Chevy Equinox EV Bidirectional Charging Option Currently Unavailable To Order |url= https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/09/2025-chevy-equinox-ev-bidirectional-charging-option-currently-unavailable-to-order/ |website=GM Authority |first=Rhian |last=Hunt |date=2024-09-07 |access-date=2024-09-08}} The option later become available in 2025. {{cite web |title= 2025 Chevy Equinox EV Now Available To Order With V2H PowerShift Charger Option |url= https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/03/2025-chevy-equinox-ev-now-available-to-order-with-v2h-powershift-charger-option/ |website=GM Authority |first=Jonathan |last=Lopez|date=2025-03-22 |access-date=2025-03-25}}

Cargo space is rated at {{convert|57.2|cuft|L|0|abbr=on}}, which is nearly 7 cubic feet less than the ICE-powered Equinox due to its sleeker exterior design. No front cargo space ("frunk") is available as the hood houses propulsion systems and electronic systems instead.
