Good ol’ Dimmitt Chevrolet, the same dealership that tried to get a $100,000 “market adjustment“ on a Corvette Z06. At least on this car they are “only” trying to get away with scamming people out of $1899 for a Preferred Customer Package (nitrogen filled tires, that ridiculous pinstripe, etc.) Be sure you wear your body armor, and bring a whip and chair before trying to do business with these dealerships in Florida
@@greennesee that's what I despise with that rebate. It would be much better to just give you that amount as a discount when you're buying the car that same day instead of waiting for tax season to claim it.
It's also a lot more affordable than the competition. You're comparing it to it's competitors that are priced at a higher tier. Chevy is rolling out a lot of offers for these. The lowest trim level is the sweet spot for the Equinox. With the $7,500 EV tax incentive, you're looking at about a $28k SUV brand new. Still has that beautiful infotainment screen and 319 mile range. Nothing comes close.
The nice thing is the unlike the highly-troubled Blazer EV, GM did get the bugs out and got the Equinox EV to actually work reasonably well. The lack of Apple Carplay is not as much of an issue as people think, since it uses Android Automotive with built in Google Maps and Waze for navigation.
I'm assuming this gets the $7,500 subsidy. Many dealers will handle the subsidy at closing. Great vehicle for retirees and those who drive less than average miles.
Thank you so much for posting this, and I totally agree about the rear wiper blade. Any vehicle that has the spoiler over the rear window should have the wiper tucked underneath it.
Joe is not that I hate electric vehicles but I would choose the gas version equinox instead the electric one I’m not feeling the front design, but the looks good to me. I can’t wait to you do a driving review on the Equinox 2025.
I appreciated your candor about what you didn't like (and your sense of humor.) This LOOKS like a larger, extended Bolt to me. Much better cargo space and infotainment screen, but so much of it just screams Bolt.
The right tool for the right job that fits your needs. We can charge at home and love our two EV's. One we've had over 5 years, the other going on 3 years. Won't ever go back to gas. With that said, the Equinox and Blazer EV are both disappointing especially for their prices.
Joe I gotta say the Blazer EV is quite handsome - and seems to be a thoroughly engineered vehicle. This Equinox isn't quite as convincing but still worthy of success. You're right on for giving credit to the EV1 - GM deserves more respect than it gets for some of its recent models, especially their EV's. Nice review !
Looks so sleek and stylish. Hopefully GM can continue making meaningful improvements over the next few years. For the price, it's missing some essential features. Overall a good direction for Chevy though.
Excited to receive my 3RS eAWD, but it’s stuck in Chicago due to the rail strike, hope I see it soon. Thanks for the review! Great lines, great job Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇨🇦
The new gasoline Equinox looks great too but this Equinox EV looks absolutely amazing if I must say so myself. Looks like a $60k Porsche from several angles to me, the styling is very upscale. Chevy’s design language is so sexy and masculine.
GM is stacked with well designed vehicles. They are currently producing some of the nicest looking cars trucks and SUVs on the road. They put out top shelf performance to boot.
Stop covering the view of the car on every video for the first few minutes. Forcing your info in our faces to catch the first 2 minutes for the view count. Besides that your reviews are great, thank you.
Joe and Lori, great review of The Chevy Equinox EV from the biggest Chevy fanboy. I think the Equinox EV is gorgeous but I think I like the new ICE 2025 Equinox a little more. I am the proud owner of a 2019 Equinox so I don't know which one I might replace my 2019 with, the ICE or the EV? Joe have you seen the new ICE Equinox?
I was legit considering this car and now I'm not. No sunroof, manual seats, no ventilated seats, no charge pads... That stuffs the least I expected from a 2024 model. Sad to see them be so stingy.
Equinox EV isn’t replacing the Bolt EV! That is coming next year and the Equinox EV is WAY HUGER! (Comparatively) Equinox will not fit in my garage but the Bolt EV does therefore different car.
Every chevy car I owned started having problems around 60 to 70k miles. I had a 2013 cruze. Sold it after spending 14k in repairs over a year. Sooooooo many things went wrong with that car. Then I had a 2018 Equinox. That car started having engine problems around 65k miles. Dealership kept going back and forth with the warranty company. After 3 months the dealership said the warranty company refused to pay for the repairs and it was on me for 18k. I sold the car for parts and got a rav 4. I will never purchase another Chevy car again. They make mobile trash cans. Looking forward to customer complaints about this one.
10:47 Recently, I realized that writing is very important. Until recently, I hated writing. I don't write beautifully and I thought writing was a hassle. But when it comes to studying, I thought that writing was more efficient. I'm currently studying English, and by writing in a notebook, I can physically grasp how much I've learned. For example, I think that knowing the fact that "I used two notebooks to study English in six months" leads to confidence. And because I think this confidence is important, I continue to write English in my notebook today.
Man I didn’t understand how manufacturers are getting away with selling ppl a bunch of hard plastics interior for 50k 😂😂😂 a lot of these cars should be in the 30k range
I can get an awd Y long range awd for same price. Leagues better. Sunroof, frunk, ALL soft touch, even the lower trim, FSD , NACS, MUCH faster, and service comes to your door.
@portcybertryx222 ill wait for the hybrids to start coming out. Seems like that's the route car makers are going to be going. I'm not relying on an all electric car here in the northeast. Also, anyone know if there's actual savings since your electric bill must rise a lot?
I know what you’re saying! Is this made in the same plant as the HHR? It was good for like 6 months then it started falling apart front bumper was not connected to the car and sounded like crap!
This is not a serious review. First, the FWD Equinox is not "about the same" as the competition if you're comparing it to an EV. Second, if you don't mention the glare issue, you're clearly not a serious reviewer. The glare issue is very noticeable on this vehicle and you can even see it while watching this.
$47k for an equinox? How in the world is that car worth almost $50k? 319 miles of electric translates to about 200 actual miles if you’re lucky. Cheap plastic everywhere, I’m all about value and this is a huge miss….$35k maybe, $47k not happening.
Cars in 2026 is gonna get even uglier 😂 idk it’s my opinion but this chevy has so many plastic everywhere on this vehicle I mean when is Chevy gonna upgrade the Silverado, and the Malibu I still waiting till this day anyday I want a 2025 Malibu not the outdated Malibu but this Chevy EV looks nice 👍
I think hard touch plastic in the rear is because of DOGS and their paws on the door would tear the soft touch. It is the dog world in the back seat... hard saves the image with no tears. should have shown us super cruise on the highway but they did not activate it I bet.
Joy this model in RS gas is 33k and have rear heat seats and add for security brake trafic plus Adapting Crus control and AwD 2024 the Only way I can take one EV if the Tax Credits apply 7500 k back to the price every one now Ev is no the Way to Help the planet with the new power evolution. But I love the Concept Equinox the eBolt problem is the no have fast charger after that beauty car compact and includes cool seat surprise this not included so for that an other thinks if I receive Credits tax in the ev is the only way to take this Equinox
Inconsistent charging, poor interior quality with limited seat colors and awful accent colors are deal killers. With the mess that’s the Blazer, it’s just sad that GM can’t get it right.
This was not a good review, he never mentioned charging specs, real world range highway verses city, etc He better stick to reviewing ice vehicles. He just did this for content and not to educate and inform the public public about electric vehicles. Out of spec reviews are the gold standard with respect to electric vehicles. He better try harder if he's going to be taking seriously with regard to electric vehicle reviews. This was a Fluff piece encouraged by the dealership. In order to properly review the vehicle he needed to live with it for a week and use it use it in day-to-day commutes. Only at that point can he actually give his true opinion of an electric vehicle
Getting my 2RS in red hot, next week. Can't wait to drive it home!

Crazy for 47k, real worth 34k....
Well once you throw the $7500 tax rebate in there plus incentives..this can be had for low to mid $30k.
@@greennesee that's what I despise with that rebate. It would be much better to just give you that amount as a discount when you're buying the car that same day instead of waiting for tax season to claim it.
I'm glad they're bringing the Rally Sport to this first time ever Equinox EV.
Manual passenger seat controls, no sun roof, hard touch plastic in the rear, and no heated rear seats in a 48k. GM, you were so close!
AND no wireless charging
Damn shame
It's also a lot more affordable than the competition. You're comparing it to it's competitors that are priced at a higher tier. Chevy is rolling out a lot of offers for these.

$1500 option for panoramic roof
No HUD nor power folding mirrors either.
11:00 bruh got us right in the feels there for a few seconds 😢
It's alright, Joe. I just wish that they made the ICE 2025 Equinox look this cool. Can't wait for that review, by the way. 👍
I agree Joe……I like the styling. Interior looks good too !
The nice thing is the unlike the highly-troubled Blazer EV, GM did get the bugs out and got the Equinox EV to actually work reasonably well. The lack of Apple Carplay is not as much of an issue as people think, since it uses Android Automotive with built in Google Maps and Waze for navigation.
Yet no solar roof for self charging on cold days so the battery pack stays topped off .
Android Auto sux though
I like it. the lease specials are pretty cheap right now
What have you seen for lease deals? Just found out about this. Potentially looking into leasing one.
Lease deals aren great right now!. If you already have a Bolt you can get an even better deal! Just got one for a great 24 month lease.
Oh my gosh! Bringing back teen and tween memories of Bop, Big Bopper, Teen Beat, and Tiger Beat!
I'm assuming this gets the $7,500 subsidy. Many dealers will handle the subsidy at closing. Great vehicle for retirees and those who drive less than average miles.
Cool car but it’s making VW ID 4 look a whole lot better now a days imo cool review 💯

Love your work. This is coming from a former student at RHS.

Yes of course & I am really consider buy this.
I like the Galaxy Grey paint ,if I were to get one of these I would be aftermarket wheels on it.

Viva Chevrolet!
No frunk, the old school battery pack, the cheep Chevy offsets are the bummer side. I like the look and size are good.
do dual climate, or panoramic sunroof is a major zonk for that price. manual seats for the passenger is crazy too
The key with EVs is you have to lease them. That’s where the real value is.
That is so very true Rob! Good call on that one.
Man I didn’t understand how manufacturers are getting away with selling ppl a bunch of hard plastics interior for 50k 😂😂😂 a lot of these cars should be in the 30k range
It's the stupid battery tech. It's not affordable at all and it way drives up the cost.
5:55 texturized GMetric shape 🤔😉 .
Joe I saw you getting haircut by Nikki the other day i was right after you but i didnt realize it was you until too late mad i didnt get a picture lol
2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV 2RS ORP FWD!
I can get an awd Y long range awd for same price. Leagues better. Sunroof, frunk, ALL soft touch, even the lower trim, FSD , NACS, MUCH faster, and service comes to your door.
I think I would take a 2024 traverse rather than this evening for 47k
I want an all black one, could you please gift me just one, ill do anything
Not to get into the Ford vs Chevy BS, but overall looks to me that the Mach E is the better choice.
Great job GM
12:41 In the description, it says 11.7" infotainment screen, but you said it's 17.7" infotainment screen.
Well My My, We see the EV Power Maker, almost make it look Normal like thegasoldayMotorBays
😂😂😂😂😂this is like a comedy show...so funny Joe but yet the best car reviewer.
Love your car video
Almost 47k for an equinox hahahah. And they wonder why no one buys ev.
There are lower level trims and its tax credit you get can get it for 28k onwards
@portcybertryx222 ill wait for the hybrids to start coming out. Seems like that's the route car makers are going to be going. I'm not relying on an all electric car here in the northeast. Also, anyone know if there's actual savings since your electric bill must rise a lot?
Hmmm, I think I know where it is made therefore (to keep YT from erasing me) I'll take a pass until the reliability and quality are seasoned.
The bolt has been very reliable so should be OK.
I know what you’re saying! Is this made in the same plant as the HHR? It was good for like 6 months then it started falling apart front bumper was not connected to the car and sounded like crap!
If this exuberant land boat is seen as "compact" now a days then we're in the bad timeline

Second, if you don't mention the glare issue, you're clearly not a serious reviewer. The glare issue is very noticeable on this vehicle and you can even see it while watching this.
A FWD EV SUV…..yeah this is definitely a Chevy.
For that money I’d just get a Model Y
Wouldn’t give anyone $100 for a EV
Say again? You don't like EV?
@@luongo7886 Ok again 😝
This is worth 20k !
After 3 years you may get 15k for it. Stay with Rav4/CRV.
The teacher Joe lol.
Very pretty car....
Too bad no frunk like the Mach E. Ford is moving Mach E battery production to MI to qualify it for full federal subsidy.
"A Good Look".
$47k for an equinox? How in the world is that car worth almost $50k? 319 miles of electric translates to about 200 actual miles if you’re lucky. Cheap plastic everywhere, I’m all about value and this is a huge miss….$35k maybe, $47k not happening.
My 07 equinox was 30k and had a sunroof.

They really can do packaging better. There is no excuse not have a massive frunk on an EV.
Not in a vehicle this small. It's impossible to have a large frunk. There is only so much room to put the components
@@MsLonegamrmodel Y gets it done.
They’ll probably sell a good I’ll say about 30 of of them max!😂
I think hard touch plastic in the rear is because of DOGS and their paws on the door would tear the soft touch. It is the dog world in the back seat... hard saves the image with no tears. should have shown us super cruise on the highway but they did not activate it I bet.
$47,000 I can get a damn Mustang GT for that and have 10 times more fun..lol😂
No solar roof?
Pass.
those door handles are stupid. How will they work in the ice? Maybe those who don't live up north never think about that.
Sure looks good but an EV = NO SALE. Thanks Joe.
Set price point is way off. Not much different from the bolts
"Electric"...is futuristic...Hehe.

Over 40k for small chevy EV 😭
Joe, get some sunglasses, less squinting while "on throttle"
why is it not avalible in europe😭
Nice car, but way overpriced, maybe $30k, as is, otherwise no,
New tech is expensive thats why it costs so much...
47k for an equinox. LoL.
hmmmm...there better options for 47k
Inconsistent charging, poor interior quality with limited seat colors and awful accent colors are deal killers. With the mess that’s the Blazer, it’s just sad that GM can’t get it right.
Your "On Throttle" face says it all...... underwhelming at best.
