The Chevrolet Equinox EV, now dubbed “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV,” starts at under $35,000, making it a direct competitor to Tesla’s entry-level models, which typically start around $40,000. The Blazer EV and Bolt EV further expand GM’s reach, offering choices for every budget and need.
