    Concerns before buying the first gen Equinox EV

    I had a first gen car twice, and I can assure you I had no problems with them. Of course, sh*t can happen, and sometimes recalls can appear, but that can be a good thing. After all, the manufacturer is taking care of their new vehicles, and this is a way for them to gather data and release...

    Key differences between Bolt EV and Equinox EV

    Hey, welcome to the forum. I might help you with that. So, let's talk about the charging behavior. The Bolt can continue to draw power from the EVSE for up to four hours after charging completes, but not the Equinox. It ends the power draw immediately. I find it more efficient. There is...

    GM / Chevy Over-the-Air updates

    GM does have OTA updates, but now everything is confusing. At least we know some updates bring new features, while some are just bug fixes. And let's not forget it depends a lot on the trim level we have.

    Can't make phone calls

    I have heard this issue was related to iPhones. On Android, too? That's odd... Maybe try to unpair and pair the phone again.

    Do you mean apps for your phone or what?

    Anyone Else Notice Missing Wireless Charging

    That's common. GM just likes to build cars without "completing" them with components and other features installed. Haha! Funny, but annoyingly sad and frustrating. The feature is not included in the order book... so there is no surprise.

    Any Predictions on When the Equinox EV 1LT Will Be Available

    No one knows! Only GM, I guess! Let's see if they are a 'company of honor' and release it this month or next month.

    My friend’s Equinox EV RS test drive experience

    Good on taking into consideration that in NY winters are not that tough. But I don't quite understand it. Does she need brand recommendations for the all-weather tires or does she need general recommendations?

    Current waiting time for NJ DMV registration/tags

    Quick question, guys! How long it is currently taking for the New Jersey DMV to process and send out registration and tags? I am curious about when it might arrive the renewal I sent recently. Thanks!

    Is it possible to replace 20" tires with 18" wheels?

    Why not? Just make sure the outer diameter of the tires is close to the original size. This is the only way you could mess with your odometer and speedometer.

    Would it work to turn the cargo shelf into a DIY frunk?

    And able to handle the heat. As long as it is something heat-resistant material (silicone or metal) instead of plastic, I think it would work. There is another thing, though: the airflow. If the sling or container blocks air to key parts, it could mess up the cooling process,

    FWD or AWD: which one is the best in terms of range?

    Hello, drivers! I am looking to buy the first EV for my wife, but I am oscillating between FWD and AWD variants. I read a review that both car variants of the 2024 Equinox hit 260 miles with a full range at 75mph. But some real-world numbers would help more. So, could anyone please confirm these...

    Kayak rack for Equinox EV

    Yeah, you can! Chevy has a rail kit option that could work for you. Just a heads up, though. If you are thinking about Thule or Yakima, their current stuff might come out with something compatible soon. It is worth keeping an eye on.

    Should you buy a 2024 GM EV or wait for the 2025 model?

    Hi! I have been thinking a lot about the upcoming 2025 GM EV models and wanted to see what others are planning. From what I have heard, they will likely come with the Tesla SAE charger, though that is not officially confirmed yet. I have also got my eye on the 1LT model, but I am wondering if...

    Do splash guards affect the EV range?

    Hello! My brother just bought a 1LT EV. It has to come with splash guards, but he asked the dealer not to install them just yet. We heard mixed things about how splash guards might affect EV range (mostly from Tesla owners, that's true). He would like to leave them off to maximize efficiency. Do...

    I have this funny one for you, guys! "Do not fold the rear seatback when the seat is occupied" - Owner's manual, page 70. Like, really? Hahaha!
