Why this number

Charging a 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV costs about $17.01 for a full charge (~100 kWh) at the US average rate of 17¢/kWh — roughly $5.54 per 100 miles, or $665 a year at 12,000 miles. The Equinox EV uses 32.6 kWh/100 mi on the EPA combined cycle. The Equinox EV’s real cost scales with your own rate, from about 12¢ to over 50¢ across the US.

The Chevrolet Equinox EV (EPA data for the 2027 model year, the newest the EPA lists; dollar figures use 2026 electricity rates) uses 32.6 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle — the wall-outlet figure, so charging losses are already counted (look up your exact trim at fueleconomy.gov ). At the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh that puts the Equinox EV at about $5.54 per 100 miles — 5.54¢ a mile. That is comfortably better than average — 21th most efficient of the 67 current models tracked here — and puts running costs in the range most buyers hope for when they switch.

What an Equinox EV costs to charge at every rate

The same Equinox EV costs $4.03 per 100 miles at Idaho’s 12.35¢ and $17.19 at Hawaii’s 52.72¢ — a 4.3× spread that is entirely the rate:

Wall-side for the Equinox EV: EPA’s 32.6 kWh/100 mi is measured at the outlet, charger losses included; quick-fill your state above for your own figure.

That per-mile figure is the one to hold against gasoline: at 17¢/kWh the Equinox EV’s 5.54¢ a mile compares with about 13.6¢ for a 30-mpg gas car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026). The EV vs gas cost guide works the Equinox EV’s math in full — both formulas, and the electricity rate at which the advantage disappears.

Range: what a “full charge” of the Equinox EV really means

EPA combined range is about 307 miles. Multiplying that by the car’s efficiency gives roughly 100 kWh to refill a full range from empty, which is the honest way to think about a ‘full charge’ — battery capacity figures include a buffer you never actually use.

The Equinox EV on a public fast charger

On a public fast charger at about 48¢/kWh the Equinox EV costs $15.65 per 100 miles against $5.54 at home — 2.8× — or roughly $1,878 a year instead of $665 if it never sees a home outlet. Why a session costs more than the posted price for a Equinox EV (10–80% charging curve, idle fees, per-minute billing) is explained once on the cost-to-charge hub ; the EV time-of-use calculator nets an overnight rate against the Equinox EV’s $665 flat-rate figure.

The Equinox EV in cold weather

A hard winter lifts the Equinox EV from 32.6 to roughly 42.4 kWh/100 mi (the middle of the 20–40% rise real-world data shows), so $7.20 per 100 miles instead of $5.54 and an effective range nearer 236 miles than 307. The mechanics behind the Equinox EV’s winter penalty — cabin heat, battery chemistry, preconditioning from the wall — are on the hub ; the Equinox EV’s $665 annual figure above already averages the seasons.

Where the Equinox EV sits against other EVs

Its nearest neighbors on efficiency are the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (32.2 kWh/100 mi) and the Tesla Model X (32.9 kWh/100 mi). The Equinox EV at 32.6 kWh/100 mi sits against a set that runs from the Tesla Model Y at 26.9 kWh/100 mi, and the least efficient is the GMC Hummer EV at 67.8 — a spread that changes annual charging cost by $834 a year at 17¢/kWh and 12,000 miles. And if a SUV like the Equinox EV is the fixed requirement, the cheapest SUV to run tracked here is the Tesla Model Y at $549 a year — $116 less than the Equinox EV.

Trims: does the Equinox EV version you pick change the bill?

The EPA lists a single configuration for the 2027 Equinox EV, so there is no trim-to-trim efficiency decision to make here — what you see is what you get.

Frequently asked questions

How we calculated this

Worked for the Equinox EV: 32.6 kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × 17¢ = $5.54 per 100 miles; 307 mi × 32.6 ÷ 100 = 100 kWh, × $0.17 = $17.01 per full charge; $5.54 × 12,000 ÷ 100 = $665 a year. The Equinox EV’s gasoline comparison is 12,000 ÷ 30 mpg × $4.07 = $1,628. EPA combined ratings, measured at the wall.
