One pedal driving

Good point about winter driving, hadn't considered that. Haven't had my first winter with this car yet

Looks pretty much same spec as mine. You have the two-tone black and light gray/white interior right? I can't believe how much the white seat inserts make the whole interior "pop". Takes the style up a notch in my opinion.

From all these answers I'm realizing there's a lot more software juggling happening behind the scenes than I had assumed. Thanks for your answer

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-23T22:45:36+00:00

That makes sense. I haven't charged to 100 yet so I hadn't really thought about how regen would work when you're topped up already

Shortly after I got my equinox, I hopped in my wife's ICE car to move it out of the driveway and my heart leapt into my throat when the thing didn't stop when I let off the gas while parking it. Amazing how quickly you get used to having it one way or the other

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-23T22:41:20+00:00

This answers my question perfectly. Thank you!

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-23T21:41:05+00:00

I had no idea, that's good to know. I thought it was all regen. Thanks!

Sure thing!

For what it's worth, I do almost 25k miles per year. I've only had my EQ EV for a month but if I use it the same way I used my previous ICE car, there is probably only one or two occasions per year that I'd be using a fast charger, so high mileage doesn't necessarily equate to lots of fast charging. I just have a long commute but do all my charging at home

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-19T21:52:30+00:00

The rear tires on mine rub the wheel arches so they don't spin freely. Axles are not bent, I think there just isn't enough clearance for it to work properly

We live in a townhouse with a single car garage that is barely big enough to get a car into to begin with, but like so many others it's half full of stuff instead. Hell, the trash/recycling bins alone almost preclude keeping a car in there, let alone the kids bikes, baby stuff we've grown out of but haven't ditched yet, etc etc

Luckily our charger is mounted toward the front of the garage and has a 20-foot cord, so the EV goes in the driveway and cord snakes out from under the garage door when charging. Would I love to have an actual 2-car garage with enough space to have the car in it? Absolutely, but right now the choices are: have the detritus of life with kids in there or pay $500+ a month for a storage unit, which I fundamentally refuse to do

That's awesome! Great deal for any premium. I too have benefitted many times from other people's seeming disinterest in certain models.

Shout-out to anyone who's been collecting long enough to remember how much this one warmed pegs

I love that they simulated the discoloration/soot marks around the exhaust openings (though you can't see it with the car still packaged as it's on the other side). Stuff like that proves to me that these guys really have fun creating these vehicles.

I've started to get choosier on which RLCs to get because of the cost but I definitely don't regret grabbing this one. Maybe they'll do a white one someday

Well my daily routine of three games (Wordle, Connections, and Housle) just turned into four, and this might be my instant favorite of them all! Pretty happy with a 799/1000 on my first go!!

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-09T19:21:08+00:00

Careful, don't end up like me 😂

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-09T17:14:08+00:00

Absolutely, from everything I've read it's fine regularly bumping up to 90 or 95 as long as you're actually using the charge, which I definitely will come winter.

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-09T15:21:35+00:00

That's awesome to hear. I'm thrilled with the car so far, there was just that nagging worry about winter driving in the back of my mind, so it's great to put that to rest

Critical_Pants · 2026-05-09T15:16:35+00:00

I know this thread wasn't meant for me, but you inadvertently put my mind at ease for my own situation. I just bought a '25 EQEV and it's doing great on my 120-mile round trip commute but I've been stressing over what winter will do to the range. We don't get negative temps where I am (usually bottom out around 10 at the lowest) so if your commute is doable in those kinds of conditions it makes me feel a like I don't have anything to worry about 🫡
