How Does the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV Work?

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV takes the familiar practicality of a compact SUV and replaces gasoline with an all-electric powertrain built for real daily driving. If you’re curious how it all comes together — how it moves, how far it goes, and how you charge it. Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC has a closer look.

All-Electric Powertrain

At the heart of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is an Ultium®-based electric powertrain that delivers instant torque for smooth, responsive acceleration. Instead of a traditional engine and transmission, you get an electric motor and battery pack working together to drive the wheels with up to 220 horsepower.

Chevrolet equips the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV with One-Pedal Driving, which lets you accelerate and slow down primarily with the accelerator pedal; when you lift off, the vehicle decelerates and sends energy back into the battery. Regen On Demand™ adds another layer of control, allowing you to pull and hold a steering-wheel paddle to slow the vehicle and recover additional energy.

Range You Can Use Every Day

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV offers practical, road-ready range with its FWD powertrain. It gets an EPA-estimated 319 miles on a full charge, giving most drivers more than enough for commuting and weekend travel without frequent stops.

Home and Public Charging Options

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV offers convenient charging options designed for everyday life. At home, Level 2 charging is ideal for overnight replenishing, adding a significant amount of range while the vehicle sits in your driveway or garage. On the road, the Chevy Equinox EV supports DC Fast Charging, which can add as much as 70 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes.
