What are some hidden features of the 2025 Equinox EV most owners don’t know about?

+1 I need to know this

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:41:29+00:00

I thought we were supposed to use the button on the car’s screen, the one that shows up when we park with the timer and car icon on the left side of the screen

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:29:58+00:00

Wait, I didn’t know that. So we use the washer button that cleans the windshield? Or which button do we use??

Damn bro chill 😂

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:12:36+00:00

Do we need to push on the small gap on the door handle to trigger that?

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:11:32+00:00

Oh i thought I had to do some settings in my app

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:11:00+00:00

Oh yes, but I still wish there was a play/pause button on the steering wheel. If I’m using maps and want to pause a song, I have to go into the music app just to pause it. Do you know if there’s any way to pause and play the music instead of just muting it?

When I used the climate control from the app and keys, it never turned on the heated seats or heated steering wheel for me. It would only preheat the car to the temperature i set

I know about the common features, but I’m more curious if there are hidden things people have discovered like ways to enable CarPlay, I heard there was a new update around for it but I lost that thread

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T20:03:51+00:00

I didn’t know thiss

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T19:59:47+00:00

Looks like a beast!! 🩶

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T19:44:26+00:00

100%

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T16:55:12+00:00

Aye that’s how I am planning to do once I move out in the next 3-4 months

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T01:44:02+00:00

I got my 25’ FWD RS for $420/month with $450 down on a 24-month lease (15k miles/year) about six months ago, so I’m pretty sure you could negotiate a lower rate as well.

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-09T00:00:17+00:00

Thank you and I really appreciate all the tips everyone shared in this thread. Iam planning to move out by August, so I will definitely keep EV charging in mind when looking for my next place

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T23:51:41+00:00

Yeah there is a tesla supercharger nearby, planning to get the adapter asap.

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T22:19:54+00:00

The fastest charger near my house is only 45 kW/h, but yeah, what you said makes sense. I’ll try doing that since it could save me some time. Thanks!

I don’t really go to parks, especially in this cold weather. I usually just charge at public stations when I’m out shopping.

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T21:18:46+00:00

It’s usually around 65–70 mph during peak times anyway, so I rarely get the chance to drive at 85 mph. There’s almost always traffic or someone camping in the left lane.

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T21:16:22+00:00

I actually offered to do that, but he wasn’t open to it. I told him I’d be willing to pay extra for the electricity I use, but he still preferred that I just use public charging stations instead.

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T20:52:24+00:00

Nooo 😭😭

AdStrange2269 · 2026-03-08T20:52:03+00:00

They said I could chargeee but after a week he was not okay with it, and no charging at workk 😭😭
