What drives the cost
The Equinox EV ranks 7th in efficiency among 15 EVs in our mixed list of sedans, SUVs, and trucks, using 32.6 kWh per 100 miles according to EPA ratings. Your actual cost depends on three things: your state’s electricity rate, whether you charge at home or use DC fast charging (which costs $153 per month), and how often you drive. A full charge at home costs $18 on average, covering the car’s 307-mile range.

Frequently asked questions
How does charging cost compare to driving a gas car?
Over a year, you’ll save $1,016 versus a 30-mpg gas car. Monthly, this Equinox EV costs $60 to charge while that gas car costs $144 in fuel.
What’s the per-mile cost?
At the U.S. average rate, charging costs 6.0¢ per mile driven.
Is this SUV cheaper or more expensive to charge than other EVs?
The Equinox EV is moderately efficient. Its 32.6 kWh per 100 miles places it in the middle of the 15 EVs we track, so you’ll pay more than the most efficient models but less than less efficient ones.
Does charging at a DC fast charger change the math?
Yes significantly. DC fast charging runs $153 per month versus $60 at home, so relying on public chargers more than occasionally will roughly double your cost.
Your bill uses your own rate, not the state average. Enter it in the EV charging cost calculator, or see every state in the cost by state table.
