Best Family Hauler? 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV First Drive

[@SciD1]

I have always had one-pedal driving on my Volt. I absolutely love it! Not only it helps regenerate the battery, but it saves your brakes! In ten years, I have changed the brakes only once! One single brake job in 10 years!

[@joer4367]

I've read the Chevy EVs often do better on the range than what's advertised. Is that true in your case?

[@SciD1]

@@joer4367 mine did what was advertised. You could do a little better by cutting down on AC or heat, by driving in a very conservative manner. Otherwise it was pretty much what was advertised.

Love the super cruise and he is WEARING SUN GLASSES, and the vehicle is smooth and functional

[@jasonmendonca6061]

I found You can easily trick the supercruise with sunglasses on and play on your phone 😅

Get the price tag under 30k and I’ll give up ONE of my thirsty ICE trucks.

[@DrTom1946]

The new one,out laterthis fall, might just do that.

[@williamstewart6534]

I think you gave an excellent review. This is what most middle class individuals could consider. A $94,000 Silverado pickup not so much!

[@richardchasse9216]

Looks good, sleek, seems shorter in height… more like 5 door hatch .

[@joannbarna8235]

The 3LT awd is the model to get it gives you everything thats offered and gives the most power

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

The cheapest version you mentioned coming later this year is $46,500 after straight up conversion. The CAD will continue to fall, which means it will actually most likely being around $47,000 with straight conversion. However, these companies LOVE to increase prices on top of that here in Canada, so I would actually envision that price being around $50,000 for the CHEAPEST option, which is the current price of a Tesla 3. Obviously not the same size vehicle, but you know what you're getting with a Tesla in terms of reliability, real-life charge times, etc. Even with a tax credit it's still $40k for that Equinox. That's still not affordable enough for people, considering the current interest rates. These need to be $30k. These are all still way too expensive for the average person or consumer at mass.

[@SciD1]

Do they really want to make these cars affordable? If that's what they really wanted, they wouldn't focus so much on the useless electronic gadgets. They could make the freaking car 10,000$ less, if they wanted to! Furthermore, they can't make enough for the masses. So why bother? They're simply targeting the rich.

[@jimtaylor4302]

Can you leave the doors closed, with the handles tucked in flat , but unlocked ?

[@CraigSmith568]

I will say it's nice to see that it looks like any other car on the road. It would have been nice to see the rear headroom in the model without the hole in the roof. That thing looks pretty intrusive. I would think the Mustang is the biggest competitor to this car.

[@johnm2879]

Great value on a really nice, common sense EV. But I'd like the smaller '25 Bolt when it gets here.

[@SciD1]

That red is insanely hot!

[@infernoking7504]

Yeah no 30k is affordable not 55k

[@mikeintampa250]

Phenomenal review!

[@Bfranklyn731]

Can't beat the looks!

[@nlken7175]

55k Can$ for cheapest AWD. Not too bad if you get 5K off.

[@Bfranklyn731]

Chevy always comes through with low price decent vehicles.

[@VladimirKharkob]

Thanks Great Video

[@willwray8511]

Really good info

[@NikolasAthinaios]

Cute one. How about cases of emergency exit while battery is on fire, or while in the bottom of the lake? Open also mechanically? Or like Tesla?

[@joseeduardo4327]

LCA, Grosse Pointe and 696

[@SciD1]

Why is everybody focusing on that stupid frunk? They made it under the trunk floor!

[@bryllereasol2649]

Because the model Y has a bigger subtrunk AND a frunk for maximum storage

[@SciD1]

@@bryllereasol2649 did you ever see a gasoline car with a frunk? We managed just fine without it.

[@bryllereasol2649]

They never had it bc it wasn't possible 🤷🏽 just bc you didn't have it before doesn't mean it's useless now. Phones and computers are things people didn't have but now they're super relevant in our lives

[@SciD1]

@@bryllereasol2649 I would find annoying having to open my hood to get a bag of groceries.

[@bryllereasol2649]

@@SciD1 I find it most useful to put food and stuff in there bc it prevents the cabin from getting that food smell. And yeah small groceries I put in there or even things that are important bc it's hard to get into. Plus on road trips, the extra space is so needed!

[@seanh2390]

but will it be reliable?

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

TK, did I miss something here? So much talk about price but did not mention the Canadian prices. What is happening here?

[@stevenwashechek5182]

Wow another Dodge hornet, exciting! 🙄 Did they barrow the Alfa Romeo platform too?

[@bradbaraniuk4085]

how about a full charge in 5 to 10 instead of 2 or 3 hours

[@harisasidhar]

wow 47k is not an affordable ev

[@ronniemullis8717]

The 1LT is less than $30 k after $7500 tax credit.

rock the nation hahahahahahahahahaha

ya more math to figure out maybe if your math proffessor not a laymen like me,if ihad a ev all i would care about is full and empty

🤣😂🤣

[@heathermckinnon7669]

That ship has sailed….Chevy is a day late and a dollar short. Speaking of short….better expect falling short of their sales goal! They should have asked Ford how those Mach E paper weights are selling.

[@leviandhiro3596]

Pretty well actually

[@brucehall1600]

Sorry I believe until you get an electric car at 20,000 it will not be affordable to your average American. I know the Chinese have a model that's small but way under 20,000 but with the tariffs that will be placed on it I doubt it will be affordable or it would destroy the American EV market. I mean on of their cars is 11,500 and while it's not perfect some people would certainly buy a car price in that range.
