The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV brings smart electric driving to Fort Washington, Marlow Heights, Alexandria, and Waldorf. You get an EPA-estimated 319 miles of range on a full charge with the front-wheel drive model, which means fewer stops and more time on the road. Whether you're commuting down Indian Head Hwy or heading to National Harbor, this compact SUV keeps you moving without the gas pump.
Chevy designed the Equinox EV to be the most affordable compact electric SUV in its class. LT1, LT2, and RS trims give you room to choose the right balance of value and features. And with DC fast charging capability, you can add about 70 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a public station.
How far can the 2026 Equinox EV go on a charge?
Front-wheel drive Equinox EV models deliver an EPA-estimated 319 miles of range. Choose the all-wheel drive version, and you still get 307 miles. That's enough for a round trip from Fort Washington to Baltimore and back without plugging in. The dual-motor AWD setup makes 300 horsepower and hits 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. The standard FWD motor produces 220 hp, plenty for daily driving.
Level 2 home charging fills the battery overnight. For quicker stops, DC fast charging adds roughly 70 miles in 10 minutes. You'll also find public chargers all around the DC metro area, making longer trips stress free.
What technology does the Equinox EV pack inside?
The centerpiece is a 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment screen, the largest in its class. An 11-inch digital driver display sits right behind the steering wheel. Google built-in gives you maps and apps without your phone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot. On LT2 and RS trims, you get HD Surround Vision and a wireless charging pad.
Chevy includes over 20 standard safety features. Automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and rear cross traffic alert are all included. The RS trim can be equipped with available Super Cruise hands-free driving for compatible highways.
Practical design for Fort Washington drivers
Fold the rear seats flat and you get 57.2 cubic feet of cargo space. That's room for camping gear, a Costco run, or sports equipment for the kids. Even with the seats up, you have 26.4 cubic feet behind the second row. The flat floor design makes loading boxes and bags easy.
Outside, the Equinox EV wears sharp LED lighting and aero-efficient wheels. The new Midnight package adds dark exterior accents and black 19-inch aluminum wheels. Fresh for 2026, you can order Polar White or keep it classic with Summit White or Radiant Red Tintcoat.
