Chevy Equinox EV 1LT Replaces the Chevy Bolt

The Chevy Equinox EV will replace the Chevy Bolt as the entry-level EV model.

The Equinox EV will have the 1LT model with a starting price of around $30,0001. The Equinox EV is GMs answer for the critical compact SUV segment. It rounds out an electrified portfolio that covers major segments, including full-size trucks (Silverado EV), midsize SUVs (Blazer EV) and compact SUVs (Bolt EV and Bolt EUV). It will also be available with up to an available GM-estimated 300 miles of range on a full charge but with 250 miles of starting range.

The Equinox will use GM’s Ultium battery and should launch in the autumn of 2023.

  1. I have a Tesla Model Y and it’s a great car. I also own a mid engine corvette convertible but I will wait for the Electric version before I buy another car. I look forward to test driving the Equinox to compare it to the Tesla.

  3. 4k more than the current equinox and thay say they are innovative and doing us a favor lol. Current gas version is a piece. Drive one once when I was getting my ac unit fixed in my Impala and it was terrible.

  5. Well,
    I guess when I’m ready to trade my Chevy Bolt Premier in, it will be for a Fisker Pear.
    I don’t like the Equinox and especially the headlights.
    You will end up French-kissing a deer in it because you can’t see at night.

  6. I have a 2019 Bolt which is a great little car. Funny looking but not ugly like the Equinox. It’s a small, quick car. 95% of the time I am alone in the car and I don’t want or need anything bigger. Chevrolet stopped the Volt before I could buy one. Stopping the Bolt is an equally bad idea. Chevy seems to be ahead of the curve technologically and then shoots themselves in the foot when their ideas take off. But then, I remember the Corvair and the Vega.

    • Not only are they abandoning another ground breaking vehicle like the Volt, they are leaving their customers with a vehicle they will find difficult to service and parts will be junk yard finds.

  7. $30,000 steering price is really $33-$34k. Bolt is advertised at $26k and good luck finding one that’s not $29k before what the dealerships are marking up. Chevy’s response to those markups? “Dealers need to do better and sell at MSRP” while also telling you, “our dealers are independent and can charge whatever they want.” They don’t care. And the “$30k” equinox isn’t coming in fall of 2023. Might not even see it until late 2924. Oh yeah, they are ditching Carplay and Android auto so you have to pay a subscription fee to use your stereo unless you want to listen to over the air radio or use Bluetooth unless they decide to throw a fee in that as well. If only it’ll be easy to change out the radio. Oh yeah, it’s not. My next car is not going to be GM. AND I love my new Bolt.

  8. Just bought a used 2018 volt and I love it. If GM has no electrified small car when I’m looking for a new car around 2030, I guess I’ll be getting one of the BYD Ocean series things around then? Their loss

  9. 2 months ago my wife and I looked into buying a Bolt 1LT for our daughter who is getting ready to graduate from college. I live near Baltimore so there are plenty of Chevy dealers. Not only was I not able to find one anywhere nearby at any dealer, nobody was interested in taking an order. Just another lost GM sale. I’m sure this is being repeated 10’s of thousands of times.

  10. I bought a Bolt EV in January & love it. There’s a reason why the majority of New Bolt owners love it; so of course the Idiots in GM want to make more money per unit so they cancel production of the Bolt and initially only producing the premium Equinox at a price of $48k and mislead everyone that it’s a $30k vehicle. People are NOT that stupid with their money. GM loses for being greedy & ignoring sales volume.

  11. Going on 5 months since I placed a deposit for a Bolt EV 1lt. I’m not alone. Shoddy way to run a company. Now what? I don’t want the hideous Equinox. Why are auto companies intent on elongating cars? All I’m trying to do is buy a small, economic basic EV. Sad state of affairs.

    • Ooo, bro, u missed the cutoff, by 1mo, i placed my bolt premire mid oct, was accepted by GM late nov, build early feb, & was delivered late feb. Looks like the next mo GM starts accepting new bolt orders will be in march for build in june, & deliver in july

  12. GM loves advertising EVs they can’t vdeliver at scale. How may lyriqs? Hummers. It’s embarrassing to call them a car company. Gm part of the little 3.

    • Fake news, buddy. I’ve seen a bunch of Lyriqs. These Equinox are going to be built in the current Bolt factory, which pumps out Bolts almost as fast as they can sell them. Silverado EVs are arriving at dealers as you read this. Lie to yourself, but don’t lie to the readers.

      • Tom check out the number of Lyriqs delivered? Hummers? I just have to say, no way will they deliver at scale.

  13. It is sad that Tesla does not have the know how to carpet release a line of competitive vehicles in a short period of time. Too much reliance on re-innovating the car with every release has its drawbacks.

  14. It looks like it’ll be a low cost EV.

    Do people who buy low cost bland commodity crossovers want to buy EVs?

    I’d stretch for a Y or RAV4 Prime. Or maybe just stick with whatever gas engine bland commodity crossover Chevy has on the lot.

    • Which won’t available on the lot for long, unless it’s used. Every automotive manufacturer on the planet has already stated they are making the business decision of going full electric, regardless of legislation that came after the fact, whether in the EU, Asia or the US.

    • Having just traded in a “bland gas powered Chevy” I would recommend you don’t chose this option.
