A real-world winter range test of a 2025 Chevy Equinox EV LT AWD shows significant range loss in sub-zero temperatures. The owner, Joe Franz from EV Motoring, drove at a constant 75 mph on the highway and found that the car's range dropped to approximately 150 miles after using 90% of its battery. This is less than half the official EPA estimate of 307 miles, highlighting the impact of cold weather on EV performance.
A 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV owner drove in freezing temperatures to see how far he could go. At a constant 75 mph on the highway, the EV quickly lost a significant amount of range. The Chevrolet Equinox EV is a great electric car for the money, and the sales figures prove exactly that. The electric crossover was GM’s best-selling EV last year, with a little under 30,000 units finding new homes.
At 12% SoC, the car showed a warning that said the acceleration was limited due to the low battery level. The test stopped after the car’s battery level went down to 10%, but the data was clear: 90% battery used for roughly 150 miles at highway speeds, with an average energy efficiency of 1.7 miles/kWh. The remaining range was estimated at 19 miles. Taking the miles/kWh figure into account and multiplying it with the usable battery capacity, we get a theoretical maximum range of 144.
