Electric vehicles (EVs) are getting cheaper by the minute , contributing to the growth of these types of vehicles globally.

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has a base price of $ 33,600 for the base LT and $ 43,400 for the range-topping RS .

Without taking into account tax incentives, the cheapest electric crossover you can buy is the Hyundai Kona Electric which starts at $ 32,875 .

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has 319 miles of EPA -estimated range, which is a lot more than what the Kona Electric SEL can do.

Chevrolet has resisted going for the cab-forward, jellybean look that defines most EVs today .

While the interior is modern and high-tech, it isn't what you'd consider premium.

There's plenty of hard plastic surrounding the dash and doors, but once again, this is what it takes for General Motors to achieve its price tag.

America 's cheapest EV , however, is the Nissan Leaf , and let's be honest, this EV is not worth considering in 2025 .

It's actually made in Mexico , which is still part of North America , and that is why the Equinox EV is also eligible for the $ 7,500 Federal Tax Credit , which is also in jeopardy. A proposed 25 percent tariff is set to be implemented by Trump on goods imported from Canada and Mexico , which will make the Equinox EV much more expensive. So yes, without the Federal Tax Credit and with these looming tariffs, today is indeed a great time to buy that Equinox EV..
