Prism was the perfect 3rd car. I think the toyota had a slightly larger fuel tank?
2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
At least at NUMMI, the cars were identical except badging. Both has 13.2 gallon fuel tanks. NUMMI had 2 lines cranking them out like hotcakes. Seems like one rolled off the line every 30 seconds, or less.
Amazon fuel tank.
I wonder what the range would be at a more realistic 80 miles an hour, but I understand you have to have a standard across electric vehicles but at $45,000 I would like to know I guess
I think that’s fair since this is the RS model
And then there are those who would consider 62-65mph to be the more reasonable "standard" speed which in theory might extend range a bit.
80?? man maybe for a quick pass, not sustained on pubic roads.
The heck. Ticket Master!
Guess, 225 miles. You? 100-125 miles
80 pretty standard around the interstates in the south. Some of them cars will be tailgating you at that speed and you’ll go out of your mind if somebody’s doing the speed limit and downright dangerous for them , me personally I never went over 97.
for more than a second or two.Same for the motorcycle, but never pushed it over the 87 cruise control would typically be set at 78
So 303 Miles @ 3.4 MPKWH 90 KWH battery - pretty lame.
The worst of the new, 38% less efficiency than a model 3 and dog slow to boot.
Carwow did a road trip with 6 new models ran them all to the point of stopping and got the following
Porsche Taycan Performance Battery Plus, 97 KWH battery, claimed range of 421 miles, it went 367.5
Tesla Model 3 Long Range 75KWH battery and claimed range of 390 miles, it wet 352 mile
BMW i5 eDrive 40, 81KWH Batt, claimed range of 362 miles, it went 296 miles
BYD Seal Design, 82.5 KWH, claimed range of 354, it wet 310
Polestar 2 Long Range, 79KWH, claimed range of 406, went 332 miles
Mercedes EQE 300, 89KWH, 380 claimed miles, it went 357 miles

Aren’t those all cars though? The Model Y has worse efficiency than the Model 3 for the same reason.
Yes, these are cars vs an SUV, and there is gigantic price range on the carwow test.
According to car and driver - The equinox has a total of 103 CF of cargo space between its storage and passenger area and the model 3 has 97.
Happy to put the whole range of product on the board and see where the Y (and every other SUV falls)
The Y varies between 3.1 and 4.
Its interesting how packaging come into play - with the Chevy you effectively lose the frunk the gas version and the EV should be identical here, but well see.

Price vs. range in the US market, the only thing that will match Equinox EV is Model 3 LR RWD. But that’s also a smaller vehicle, inside and out.
The $34,995 Equinox EV LT starts production soon. That’ll be the cheapest 300-mile EV by a huge margin.

The equinox is much closer to the 3 in size than it is a model Y.
I’m seeing Equinox EV is longer and wider than Model Y.
It's on the same platform as the gas car right?
Happy to retract, I just want to know.
Specs are above.
Equinox EV actually has zero parts in common with the gas version. They only share a name. Equinox EV is on the EV-only “BEV-3” platform which is Cadillac LYRIQ EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Honda Prologue EV and Acura ZDX EV. They slightly shortened the wheelbase for the Equinox EV and Cadillac OPTIQ EV.
So Equinox EV ended up being significantly larger than the gasoline Equinox, specifically in length and wheelbase.
Got it. I thought this was smaller than the Blazer.
It's much closer to a Y then, if not slightly larger.
I had the mistaken impression that there were two platform sizes, but there arent.
There were two motors for the FWD portion, a high HP (240) and I think 214, guessing this test was the low one?
EPA says Model Y gets 4MPKWH, whats the EPA rating on this ?
Where has the max charge rate settled on it?

We'll know when Kyle at out of spec gets it, he tests trips at 80.
Hes driven a pre pro so far.
His 10% challenge is pretty good - he runs them down to 10% - charges for (I think 15 minutes) drives at 80. then tests how many miles back down to 10%.
