![]() ![]() The base 1LT comes with twin 11-inch screens - a digital instrument panel in front of the driver, which is positioned next to a center touchscreen. For comparison, the Toyota RAV4 offers 69.8 cubic feet with its seats dropped. Chevy says that the Equinox EV's cargo area measures 57 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. While we don't know much about the Equinox EV's interior space at this point, compact crossovers generally have ample space for passengers in both rows. The RS models are positioned as a sport-themed alternative (even though there are no performance upgrades of any kind) that drives home the impression with a blacked-out interior with red accents. The 3LT pictured here, for instance, features an attractive blue-beige-brown treatment, in addition to leather upholstery and soft-touch door inserts. ![]() Of course, moving up to higher trims decks out the interior with upgraded materials. Though there appear to be hard plastics aplenty, the contrast-color seat stitching and diamond accents on the dashboard trim help make the cabin a bit spiffier than expected for a base model. You get neat turbine-style air vents on the bookends of the dash, a clutter-free steering wheel, two digital displays and - most importantly (are you listening, Volkswagen ID.4?) - a physical volume knob and physical air conditioning controls. The front portion of the cabin looks rather handsome, like a less glittery version of the chrome-soaked Blazer EV. Thankfully, Chevrolet included an image of the 1LT in press photos, allowing us to see what the most affordable Equinox EV interior looks like. While that's not exactly blazing, a DC fast-charging station with this charge rate adds about 70 miles of range in 10 minutes. If you're on the road, the Equinox EV can draw power at rates up to 150 kW. When plugged into a Level 2 station that can supply electricity at that rate, the Equinox 3RS adds 51 miles of range per hour. The 3RS AWD is available with a 19.2-kW onboard charger. Most owners will charge at home, and to that end, almost all Equinox EVs have an 11.5-kW onboard charger, which can add up to 34 miles of range per hour. ![]() The dual-motor configuration is only available with the long-range pack, and it drops range slightly to 280 miles. Optional for the 1LT and standard for the 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS is a long-range pack that promises 300 miles if you stick with the single-motor powertrain. The entry-level 1LT will come with a standard-range pack that is said to deliver 250 miles on a full charge. Chevrolet isn't willing to talk specifics about battery capacity, but we do know there will be two packs available. ![]()
