The Chevrolet Equinox EV has been making waves in the electric vehicle (EV) world recently. GM had promised a $30,000 starting price for the Equinox, making it the Bolt’s successor. However, GM has since changed their plans and the Bolt is now returning with an improved battery pack, better software, and faster charging speeds. The Equinox EV has been moved up a slot in the price tiers, leaving many wondering if they should get the next Bolt or a Tesla Model Y.
The Bolt’s generation 1.5 will be a good way for GM to maintain low prices and make a few bucks on each one. However, many people may not want to trade in for the next-gen Bolt due to its lack of rear-drive or all-wheel-drive capabilities. The Equinox EV may be a better option for those looking for more range and towing capacity.
On the other hand, some may be considering a Tesla Model Y. While it may have more features than the Bolt, many people may not like its minimalist interior or roofline. Additionally, with Elon Musk’s recent comments about anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, it may be socially untenable for some to drive a Tesla.
Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and budget. The Bolt’s generation 1.5 will be a good way for GM to maintain low prices and make a few bucks on each one. The Equinox EV may be a better option for those looking for more range and towing capacity. However, those who are uncomfortable with Elon Musk’s recent comments may want to look elsewhere. It’s important to consider all of these factors when deciding which EV is right for you.
