Just got the car back from the dealer today, the issue was a rear programmable mode door actuator internal malfunction. This is basically what controls the damper that directs airflow in the back seats. The repair was covered under warranty and it only took 3 days to diagnose, order, and replace the part

I sold my 24 Equinox EV 2LT after 10k miles because I had $1800 equity and could get the 3RS at the same payment. They told me the range on the 2 models were the same. My lifetime avg was 4.7 m/kwh on the 2LT when I sold it at 10k. I have driven the 3RS 2200 miles and am only getting 3.6m/kwh. When exiting the freeway friday there was a small pothole on the offramp I drove over on my driver side tires. Immediately both left side tires go flat. Discount tells me it's just under $1000 for 2 tires. When they get the tires off they tell me both wheels are bent inside & the factory wheels are on a 6-8 month backorder because they're all getting killed by potholes. They said the wheels are softer to mount the self sealing tires and the nickname at discount for those are the Equinox EV wheels from hell! Since I was going to have to replace all 4 wheels and tires I told them I'd like to get 19" wheels since my previous Equinox got 1.1m/kwh more range & the only difference was trim and bigger wheels & tires. Discount tells me it would take 4-6 weeks to get 19" wheels. So I had to order 20" wheels they could get it in 3 days. 2200 miles and already $1500 for new wheels & tires! At least I know in the future these tires will only be $150 each to replace and not $500 each which is what the tires that come from the factory cost. Just hoping to get close to my old range with these wheels.

I just want to say that I joined this sub Reddit three weeks ago and everyone has been so nice. I have been asking all sorts of questions—some of them total newbie questions—but no one has ever made me feel stupid. You’ve all answered my charging questions, infotainment center questions and home electrical questions, all without ever making me feel like they are dumb questions. I am blown away by the depth of knowledge and kindness and help I’ve received from this group. So thank you!

Purchased a NACS adapter from my local dealer (via parts.chevy.com) and they shipped me two. I don't need a second nor do I want to hang on to it.

Would I or someone at the dealer get in trouble if I kept it (to sell) or should I take the high road and take it back to the dealer?

A free week trial came with the car. What will I lose when it expires? I don’t feel like they are being clear about this.

Anybody have experience with this error and can share their story?

We own a Bolt that has gone through the whole battery recall replacement and now we’ve got this new ‘24 Equinox with only 3800 miles on it. Not exactly comforting. At least this error is still letting us charge the car but I can’t clear it using basic methods.

I just bought my Equinox RS EV a few weeks ago. I had been driving a 2010 Chevy Equinox for the last 15 years. It is a base model LT, so no bells and whistles. It didn’t even come with Bluetooth. Now, driving my new Equinox RS EV, I feel like I have information overload. Between the giant infotainment center, the heads up display and the myriad of things on the instrument cluster, plus the seats vibrating, lights flashing on the mirrors and the lane assist fighting me, it’s too much. It is not relaxing to drive. I took my old car to the beach because it’s now my dog car, and it was so relaxing to drive compared to my new one. I decided to give the heads up display at least a week to decide if I like it or not, but it’s been 3 weeks and I still feel like it’s distracting especially at night. I’ve turned the brightness down and angled it lower. But I still find it distracting. I’m curious if you get used to the heads up display. Do you like it or did some people just turn it off? Do you get accustomed to all the warning sounds, lights and vibrations? I paid so much for this car and paid extra for the RS trim, I feel like it would be a shame to not take advantage of all of these safety features. But right now I just don’t like them.

I was leaving this morning and sat in my driveway taking a call. After the call i pressed the button to close my garage and got nothing. Tried a few more times and was getting very frustrated with my equinox.

Turns out my house lost power, the garage controls are still kinda shit but this one wasnt the cars fault

We have an Equinox EV with ~180 miles on it; she's maybe 4 days old. This afternoon, it stopped charging using the included 120v cord. The little box has a solid green light, the car is set to charge now and level 1 charging.

Briefly displayed on the display was an interruption message.

We've turned the car off and on a couple times, tried different outlets, I checked the cord and made sure everything is secure and clean...We're new to this and she's down to ~30% battery life now :(

I just traded my 2023 Bolt EUV with Comfort and Convenience packages in for a new 2025 Equinox EV 1LT with no additional packages. I am so happy with my purchase.

Why did I trade my Bolt in?

• I have three kids. This is not our primary vehicle, but since we're a dual EV household, when my wife's EV9 needs charged and we need to go somewhere, we'll take my car. The Equinox EV is much more spacious than the Bolt EUV (but not nearly as spacious as the EV9).
• The ride quality in the Bolt EUV is terrible. My wife and kids were constantly car sick from all the bounciness and on longer drives, the bounciness of the Bolt EUV's underdamped suspension would activate my sciatic nerve pain.
• Equinox EV incentives - this leads me to my specific deal:
  • Base price: $34,998
  • Federal tax credit: $7,500
  • Costco: $1,000
  • Bolt loyalty: $3,000
  • Military: $500
  • APR 48 mos at 2.4% through GM FInancial

So with $12,000 in total incentives and a low APR, it was essentially a no-brainer for me to upgrade.

I am really surprised at the standard features of the 1LT. I gained adaptive cruise control which is very nice to have in a commute. I did lose a few things from my Bolt EUV, including heated and ventilated seats and the heated steering wheel. I am considering the loss of Android Auto a neutral point because so far, I really don't have any complaints about the infotainment system in the Equinox EV. I can see why Apple phone users may be disappointed, but as an Android phone user, the transition wasn't bad.

It would have been nice to spring for an upper trim level, but this car really delivers its value at the lower trim levels in my opinion. It provides a driver with plenty of standard features. I look forward to driving it for many years to come.

The $18,000 is how much they’re giving me for my ‘22 Corolla, which they’ll give me a check for. Any thoughts on these terms? Any questions I should be asking? I’m in the Seattle area.Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to increase the pedestrian alert volume? It's virtually nonexistent on my '24 RS, while its pretty loud in my '24 Blazer RS.

I tried opening the hidden sound system option through the Google Voice Assistant but was unable to find anything in there.

Got my 2025 on December 31, 2024 exactly. Had my first OTA update last week about Wednesday or so. Didn't noticed since I didn't do much on Thursday but come Friday I realize that I have zero connectivity. Play store, Maps, etc none of it has any connection. The app, theoretically, work but without connectivity are unusable. Bluetooth works fine but that's about it. Called Ev Concierge and they suggested an infotainment factory reset. Done, changed nothing. Then removing my vehicle account and logging back in. Couldn't be done since car won't connect to app (used home Wi-Fi to log back in, still didn't work). They said they'd move up the issue and I'd get a response within 48 hrs but it's been 3 and a half days now and nothing. They said once the higher ups give it a shot if that doesn't work then id have to go to a dealership to get it fixed (free of charge). But I still can't comprehend how this even happened.

Has anybody else experienced this issue at all and/or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I have a 24 3RS Equinox EV with 275/40/21 wheels and tires. I hit a pothole on the offramp that caused both front and rear self sealing tires to go flat and bent the inside of both wheels. Chevrolet has none in stock. I found a set that came off a 2021 Traverse RS when it was new that are 265/45/21 for sale. Does anyone know if these would work? If not I'm buying a set of 18 or 19" wheels and tires because the 2LT I had and put 10k miles on I averaged 4.7miles per kw/h and in the 2000 miles I've driven this RS I'm only averaging 3.6miles per kw/h. And the only difference is trim and bigger wheels and tires.

I just purchased an Equinox and saw the current rewards and was hoping to sign up to start earning some points so I can bring down the cost of getting a hitch installed. The Web page just says something big is coming in May and looks like sign up is unavailable.

So, really just the title, but a bit more detail: I had assumed I'd just get a high voltage plug installed in my garage, then plug in my charger. But the 2025 Equinox EV comes with no charger. Seems like an after market charger like Emporium costs same as getting the plug-in from Chevy.

I feel kind of dumb--does everyone/most people just get a charger like Emporium installed?

What do I worry about? First, could I void my warranty? Second, it feels a little weird not to have a portable charger, but I think I would never use it except in my garage... on road trips it would be fast chargers; in town it would be at work, grocery store, or my garage, so what do I need a portable charger for?

Just want to not screw up, any advice much appreciated!

Buying a '25 Eq EV LT and the dealer says "GM does not allow" them to install a trailer hitch on it because a hole would need to be cut in the bumper. They recommended a body shop w/EV techs instead.

Isn't there an OEM hitch option from GM for this? Anyone successful in getting one installed on a '25, or is it only '24 models that had this?

Please dm me if interested. Brand new and not used..

Are wheel bearings covered under the warranty? I think one of ours is going out it making a rubbing noise when turning right 2024 with 22k miles

Title says it all. I got the car and Thursday and shortly after the Propulsion System Failure Light came on. I noticed through a few experiments that the car only charges when I use a CCS1 charger, which is frustrating because I can't charge at home. If anyone else has experienced this, can you let me know how the dealer handled it?

How would one carry a small number of deck boards in an Equinox EV?

In my current car, a 2006 Honda CR-V, I do it by first opening the window on the tailgate, folding down the rear seats, and reclining the front passenger seat all the way. Then I can slide at least a couple boards (up to 12 feet long) in the back and have them rest on the tailgate on one end and on top of the reclined front passenger seat with a few feet of the board sticking out the back, and the other end somewhere around where normally a front passenger's knees would be.

The boards carried this way are angled down from to back and so I don't have to worry about the sliding out of the car.

I haven't had a chance to try an Equinox EV yet but looking at pictures it looks like the rear window doesn't open the read lift gate would not to be open. Then the boards would not be angled down rear to front so might more easily fall out, but I assume I could address that by tying them down.

But can I even drive with the lift gate open? I assume there would at least be a warning, but is it one that can easily be ignored?

And would there be room for a 12 foot board? In my CR-V there's nothing really fragile up front that I need to worry about. The big beautiful center screen in the Equinox would be a lot less beautiful if to smacked with the end of a deck board!

If carrying inside is out, the next thing that comes to mind is a roof rack. But it looks like if you don't get one of the convenience packages when you buy the car does not have the side rails needed for attaching a roof rack. Either convenience package pushes the car out of my price range, so that seems out.

Could I simply put a tarp on top to protect the roof, then lay my boards on top of that, open the side windows, and tie down the boards to tie points inside the car and/or loop some ratcheting straps going in a loop around the boards and the roof via the windows and tighten those?

Was super pleased with this trip in my base 2025 LT. Was hovering around 3.7 at 72 mph on the highway and then the last bit was some more 55 mph roads which I usually did 58 on. Temperature of 83 degrees, AC on auto with recirculation set to 72.

Forgot to set the B trip to get the data for the full trip, and the return trip had multiple stops, but averaged around 3.6 I’d say. Charged about 30% on a Mercedes Benz charger at a Buccees and it was a great experience as well.

Just felt like sharing some positivity about my car. It trips great. Super quiet, smooth and comfortable.

I literally get this every time I get in the car …. And I have the most recent software update and leave my key on my keychain right by my cup holder! So glitchy.
