Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: EPA combined figure in MPGe — energy converted at 33.7 kWh per gallon, not fuel burned — for the configuration Equinox EV FWD (117 city, 100 highway). EPA data dated 2026-09-09, the latest modifiedOn date EPA records in vehicles.csv.↩
  2. CO₂: the measured tailpipe figure of an electric car is zero. What a grid emits to charge it is not a tailpipe figure and is not stated here.↩
  3. Range: EPA's rated range for the Equinox EV FWD configuration; the record carries 513 km, which is 319 miles.↩
  4. Fuel cost: not estimated. This site has no electricity price source yet, so no cost is computed for an electric car.↩
  5. Power: 212 hp is the motor's rating, from EPA test-car data.↩
  6. Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the front-wheel-drive 2026 Equinox — frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
  7. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this variant (EQUINOX EV BEV), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  8. Complaints: NHTSA holds 22 for the 2026 Equinox, 6 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: not published in this market-year — complaint_rate: no row in this market-year carries it from a source that measures it (0/392).↩
  9. Kerb weight: not published. No source states a curb weight for this car.↩
  10. EPA test weight: 5,250 lb (2,381 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩
  11. Warranty: not carried. The warranty table compiled from each maker's published statement has no verified entry for Chevrolet for 2026 in this market.↩
  12. Registrations: 793 Equinoxs of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
  13. This car is measured on the electric scale: MPGe and a measured tailpipe zero. Miles per gallon, charge-weighted CO₂ and engine-only horsepower do not apply to it.↩
  14. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2026 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
