Chev Equinox EV may replace Bolt

General Motors unveiled the new 2024 Chevy Equinox EV around the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, leaving some to ponder if it will replace the Chevy Bolt EV and Bolt EUV – the Bolt subject to battery issues.

The Equinox EV uses GM’s new BEV3 platform and its newest Ultium battery and Ultium drive motor technology and GM Authority suggests it will have more range than the Bolt with the Equinox providing at least 482km on a single charge, and more space.

Due to be produced in 2023, the 2024 model Equinox is reported to be priced from about US$30,000.

“The Equinox EV is another vehicle in the General Motors line-up that demonstrates our vision of an all-electric future, however GMSV is not making announcements about the new model at this stage and doesn’t speculate with regards to future product,” a GMSV spokesperson says when asked if it would be available in New Zealand and Australia in right-hand drive.
