Chevy had previously [quoted the starting price]() of the Equinox EV "around $30,000," with GM President Mark Reuss [saying]() it would start in the "low $30,000s" exactly a year ago. As the EV inches closer to production, that figure has now changed to $35k for the most basic, front-wheel-drive model before destination, though it's worth noting that the Equinox EV figures to qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the automaker. ![]() ![]() ![]() A spokesperson also specified that the Equinox EVs that'll go into production first in 2024 will be well-equipped, all-wheel-drive vehicles ranging from $48,995 to $52,395. Once those units are built and delivered, production of the more basic 1LT models closer to the starting price will commence afterward, to become available before the end of 2024. Those may ultimately work out to be 2025 model year vehicles, but it's too early to tell.
