The $35,000 Chevy Equinox EV is finally here

Volkswagen sells small cars like the ID.3 in Europe but not in the US, cuz we like it big SUVs here, sucks
Seriously, I’m appalled that Ford has fully stopped selling sedans and hatchback in the US for several years at this point. You can get a small crossover SUV, and the other small car they still sell is the Mustang.
I really, really hate SUVs.
They even stopped selling their ICE Transit Connect in the US while almost simultaneously introducing an EV in Europe with no plans to sell it in the US.
Too big, inefficient, handle worse than a car, more expensive... Take your pick.
From someone who enjoys going for a drive, they drive like complete shit compared to a normal sized car.
Remember the Ford Focus EV? When are they bringing THAT back? That would be a pretty fucking sweet replacement for my Mazda 3.
They’re not. They’ve stopped selling all non-SUVs (save for the Mustang) in the US market.
Yeah, but at 2/3 overweight or obese by population, the average American is too fat for small hatchbacks. Enormous, child smashing pickups @ 12mpg are just A-OK tho.
It wasn’t a prototype. They sold it for 4 years in Japan and Europe, but it recently got the axe.
It’s a really dope car in person, but a lot of people avoided it because it was about $44k for a car that only got 135mi of range.
The Niro ain't a bad replacement. Or the Hyundai Kona. But yeah. I agree that was a big mistake.
I'm pretty biased since I have both a Soul and a Kona sitting in my driveway, but I'd take electric of either once I actually own a house. I'm hesitant to get an EV before I can charge at home.
I'm just a hatchback fan. Small enough to be easy to drive and big enough to fit both of my Mastiffs.
Hatchbacks are the best. You can fit so much shit in the back. I moved some of my friends with my Mazda 3.
Nissan leaf
Oh yeah. I don't really see a lot on the road so I tend to forget about them.
Oh. You know, I'm not surprised coming from Nissan. They're not great cars.
No CarPlay is a deal breaker for me.
There are lots of reasons someone may rule out Tesla but this is not one of them. For everyone else, no CarPlay is a dealbreaker but Tesla knows how to write software. Given that software can do so much more than any other cars and it’s pretty well done, the compromise is a good trade off.
Now GM as the other example, has a long record of piss poor software. They need CarPlay. It’s hard to believe all the extra tracking their stuff does is worth the customers they lose
I know tesla's issues, but whats the deal with rivians?
Nissan Leaf
Give me a hatchback with the current charging standard.
Model Y
17.7″ infotainment
Wow, how fast is that 0-60?
Jokes aside, that looks like an insanely good offer, at just $27,495 after tax credit, and with 319 mile range (513 km) .
The article is very sparse on details though. But here (EU) that range would be amazing at that price.
Wow, 319? Nice 👍
Did they get to that low price point by changing a manufacturing process or did they just cut quality checks?
Doubt a dealer will give you MSRP

I'm still waiting for a small city car like the Honda 'e' prototype.
