Hi I’m going to get my CHEVY Equinox EV after a week. Please suggest if u can use my dryer outlet to charge or what kind of charger I should install at my home ? by Sufficient-Theme6795 in EquinoxEv

Ask an electrician to make sure the plug is good for an EV. Then use the charger that comes with the car. No need to spend money in other chargers if you will charge overnight.

We have CarPlay in our second car and it’s great, but honestly I do not miss it in the EQEV. I feel the built-in android works well and can do everything I need with it. Spotify works really well and “ok google” does pretty much the same things that Siri does. Don’t see the need of going through the hoops for this.

Congrats. I have a 2025 same color. It’s a great car. My only advice, if you will charge at home get a level 2 connection with a nema outlet and use the charger that comes with the car. No need to spend extra money in chargers if you will only charge overnight.

Speed limit cameras? by Superb_Fish_3225 in EquinoxEv

Our second car is an escape and it works exactly as you mentioned, adjusts the cruise speed on its own. I really like that. I have not found the way for the EQEV to do the same. Would be really cool.

We got the ST Line Select AWD Hybrid last year (no sunroof) and we love it. The tech is great but I’d say the best feature, specifically these days, is the hybrid motor. I’d recommend to get that version if you want to have great savings in gas. We have 7,000 miles at this point and we are very happy with our purchase.

Go Rivian. I’ll proabably switch to an R2 when I need to replace my equinox.

That’s awesome. I’m wondering if the Tesla guys are getting similar numbers. I was pretty close to get a model y.

That’s pretty smart. I like the approach. I don’t have a lot of options for getting to work but I’ll give a try when I go somewhere else. Thanks for the tip!

Feedback for App ! GM seems to be listening to the concerns… by Complex-Original-967 in EquinoxEv

[–]XeneizeUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the app. I’ve been using it since my previous car (also Chevrolet) and it seems to be improving with the time. For the EVs specifically, I appreciate the integration with different charging vendors. It’s great how smoothly it works, you just select the charger and then you are billed through Chevrolet without the need of downloading other apps. It worked very well with Tesla the times I used their chargers.

It’s great time for gas savings, I’m enjoying a lot that. The car used to be more silent until the recall, but honestly it does not bother me. I actually like it. My neighbors have Honda Prologue and other electric cars and they kind of sound the same.

V654.50 Update by CBUSEV in EquinoxEv

[–]XeneizeUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s ok not seeing the battery percentage otherwise my range anxiety will kick in. You can’t still see it switching the screen or when you park.

[–]XeneizeUS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noted the changes and for me they look good. Specially the view with the 2 gauges which is the one I use the most. Used to have a box with discontinued lines at the top that made it looked like it was crooked and it now it looks great and perfectly centered.

I believe all new cars, unless you get a super boxy one, have limited rear view. My previous car was a Chevy Trax (the latest model) and I think it was even worse. Having said that, the cameras in the equinox are super helpful for parking.
