Foro Chevy Equinox EV Forum

Has anyone experienced their Equinox only getting, at best, 30KW when level 3 charging? I've had the vehicle for approx. 6 weeks and not once has it gone past 30KW. Took it in to the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. No fault code, no issue. It was probably the chargers. And now they refuse to look at it again(well, theyll look at it for the shop rate). I've used multiple 150-350 KW chargers in a 5 hr radius and it never charges higher than 30KW. I find it hard to...

You are planning on taking your Equinox EV on a long road trip. You have some questions. Summary When setting out on a trip, your Equinox EV's map can be used for route planning and to display charge stations along the way. Various phone apps can do this too. While a few public charge stations are free, most will require payment via a credit card, RFID card, phone app or a cardless service from GM and others that automatically charges the car and your account based on your car's...

Walmart and Ionna are expanding rapidly and attempting to... Are Walmart And Ionna Starting An EV Fast Charging Price War? It Sure Looks Like It

In case it may be of use or interest to anyone in these forums, here’s a happy story about a disabling (for a while) mystery issue and its quick resolution. This weekend, I found that my 2RS with just over 1,000 miles on it had become completely unresponsive to both of its key fobs and to the app, with nothing in displays, etc. OnStar was unable to communicate with the vehicle and received an error code when they tried. I used the mechanical key to enter the vehicle via the... A happy tale of a vehicle issue and its fast resolution

The windshield on my 2025 Equinox EV purchased in May 2025 is crazing. See photo attached. Anyone else, ahem, seeing this?

I attached some pics of my 2024 Equinox EV after being rear ended by someone going around 100 MPH (I was going 60 MPH). No injuries in our car and it was still drivable (but barely). $13,000 damage. My car has been in the body shop for over a month now. They are waiting for a part from GM and they can't get it from them to finish repairs. No secondary market for this so stalemate. The parts are just not available. So if you need body work in the future good luck getting them.

So I went in for an intermittent data issue about a couple months ago and they eventually swapped the module on a Friday. Initially nothing was working after I picked it up so I scheduled a follow up for Monday. No streaming video, music, maps, browser, nada). About halfway through the weekend everything was working and seemed fine so I cancelled. Fast forward a month and now none of my video streaming apps or chrome work, they all want me to buy an OnStar plan (same pop up as when I had... 2025 Telematics Module.

General Motors is developing next-generation sodium-ion battery cells aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on Chinese materials for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Partnering with Peak Energy, GM plans to launch commercial production by 2029, focusing on domestic supply chains using abundant U.S. materials like sodium. This move contrasts with rivals like Ford, which face criticism for ties to Chinese battery firms. GM aims to 'leapfrog' existing Chinese technology by creating...

Interesting read. Lots of gold in here as well, and there are a couple good links too. Key point seems to be: "State of Health (SoH), the percentage of a battery’s original capacity that remains, can vary by up to 13.5% between the best and worst-performing examples of the same model." So I think unless you're leasing, if you want your vehicle to retain SoH, following the advice in the manual and from many of the threads here (esp. the sticky ones) are likely to have a significant impact...
