Gavler Meta-Score
“The Equinox EV is democracy in electric vehicle form. It proves that EVs have finally reached the point where they're not lifestyle statements or millionaire's toys — they're practical transportation for normal people. The driving dynamics are respectable, the interior is pleasant, and the warranty is backed by General Motors. If you want an EV at a sane price with no range anxiety, the Equinox EV deserves to be on your test drive list.”
