General Motors showed a lot of electric momentum in the first quarter of 2025, selling over 30,000 consumer EVs in the U.S. with the Chevy Equinox leading the way.
The 2025 Equinox EV – which I test drove for a week – was the No. 4 best selling EV in the first quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book and GM’s bestselling EV. Chevy alone showed 114% growth in the U.S. EV market with Cadillac and GMC also posting strong EV numbers. And those numbers would be even higher if you include the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicles which GM makes for Honda.

The sub-$30,000 EV is here
The 2025 Equinox has an entry point below $30,000. Some Chevy dealers in Los Angeles are now selling the Equinox EV LT for an MSRP of under $35,000. Subtract the $7,500 federal EV tax credit and you’re below $28,000 (before taxes and fees). And this is not the stripped-down Chevy Bolt LT of old. This entry-level Equinox EV comes with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and 319 miles of range.

Solid feature set
The vast majority of Equinox buyers will opt for lower-priced LT models. You will get a solid EV with 319 miles of EPA-rated range.
