Chevrolet is pitching the Equinox EV as an option for today's more practical electric vehicle shopper.
When I sat down with Chevrolet's Chief Marketing Officer, Steve Majoro, at the vehicle's launch over the summer, he told me the Equinox EV was designed to pass the test of the "kitchen table conversation."
"You have to be able to look at your partner and say, 'This car meets our family's fundamental needs,'" he said.
So, when I got the chance to drive the $46,595 Equinox EV for a week, I wanted to test the practicality of Chevy's newest electric car with my partner and our two-year-old son.
Over seven days with the car, I racked up hundreds of miles. I ran lots of errands, drove into Detroit almost every day, and even commuted to Ann Arbor a couple of times.
I'll admit that I was skeptical going in. Over the years, I have experienced my fair share of range anxiety and learning curves with new electric cars. But the Equinox EV slotted pretty seamlessly into our busy life.
