Looking for an electric vehicle (EV) that has high performance and plenty of room? DePaula Chevrolet has you covered. With charging stations becoming more prominent and electric technology at its height, there has never been a better time to purchase an EV. You can get great power and a gorgeous exterior, all while saving money and helping the environment. Frankly, it’s no surprise the electric revolution is taking off. Who wouldn’t want those benefits with their purchase?
When you arrive at DePaula Chevrolet, you’ll immediately notice that we have a bounty of EVs for you to peruse, and we’re happy to guide you around, explaining each one’s details so that you can be an informed buyer. There’s no doubt that one EV will be better for some drivers than another. No EV can be perfect for all, so today, we will compare two, which will let you know which one works better for your purposes. We’re going to examine the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV vs 2024 Chevy Equinox EV, and you’ll have an idea of which one best matches your driving lifestyle. Both are great midsize options, but they do differ in size and price, so it’s worth knowing how each one excels.
Electric vehicles have gained a reputation for speed. Electric power lets automobiles travel quickly thanks to the battery’s immediate access to torque; gas engines need a moment to get going in a way EVs do not. Thanks to this, an EV can offer solid acceleration even if it’s in a class that isn’t known for it. Plus, as batteries gain more juice each year thanks to consistent innovation, the level of energy they can provide drivers has skyrocketed. The Equinox and the Blazer are both examples of such success.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV’s front-wheel drive features an electric motor that will give you solid power at your fingertips: 210 hp and 242 lb-ft of torque. However, the electric Equinox likes to give you options, which is why you can upgrade to available electric all-wheel drive (eAWD) that pumps those performance numbers up. With the eAWD, you can enjoy 290 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. The better these numbers, the quicker the acceleration and the smoother the ride, no matter your speed. Need proof? With the eAWD, the Equinox EV can blast off and reach 60 mph in six seconds, a remarkable stat for this SUV class.
The 2024 Chevy Blazer impresses, too. If you opt for the SS trim, you’ll have WOW power. What's WOW power? It stands for Wide Open Watts, and it does, indeed, wow. It lets the Blazer EV SS go from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s astonishing speed for any vehicle, but it’s almost mind-blowing for a midsize SUV to brag of that capability. How does it manage this? That’d be due to the 557 hp the Blazer EV SS is capable of. That horsepower outdoes most other vehicles’ horsepower on the market today, let alone midsize SUVs.
Both of these Chevy EVs contain strength you do not often find in vehicles of their class. Anyone who wants a midsize SUV will walk away shocked with the power they now have access to. However, we know that despite the high power, you might be wondering what the charging situation is. Do you sacrifice a travel distance for power? No, not at all. Let’s take a look at how both of these EVs have fantastic charging abilities.
Charging stations have become far more common across the United States. No doubt about it. Still, though, you don’t want to have to stop too often to charge, right? Takes a bit of the fun out of driving. You want to enjoy a long trip without constantly glancing at how much juice your battery still holds. And when you have to charge it, the last thing you want is for it to take a while. You’re busy, and waiting around just isn’t efficient. With these two Chevy models, you’ll have nothing to fret about.
With the 2024 Chevy Equinox’s base model, your battery can supply a travel distance of 250 miles. Any higher trims, though, will pump that up a bit: with most, you’ll have about 300 miles of traveling if you start at full charge. The exact amount will depend on the precise trim upgrade and whether you are using all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive tends to get a bit more distance, usually by about 20 miles. But what about charging time? Rest easy. All Equinox EVs come with DC fast-charging capability so that you can add 70 miles of charge in just under ten minutes.
How does the Blazer EV compare? Quite well. The base trim offers a slight bump in range at 279 miles with AWD. You can get 320 miles on full battery charge if you opt for the highest level battery. Despite the Blazer measuring larger than the Equinox, it still manages to go toe-to-toe in terms of distance. The Blazer, too, comes with DC fast-charging ability, and it can recharge about 78 miles worth of travel in ten minutes.
It’s clear that Chevy has made certain to push their new EVs to the limit in both distance and charging time. The manufacturer wants customers to know that it takes seriously past concerns about both areas and wants buyers to be able to know they’re getting EVs that are conscious of their time.
The electric benefits of these automobiles are clear, but when it comes to SUVs, the interior can make or break whether it’s a great purchase. Luckily, Chevy designed both the Equinox and the Blazer so that their interiors can easily be described as luxurious and spacious. After all, one of the joys of an SUV is the knowledge that you can bring friends and family along for your adventure while knowing you still have room for everyone’s luggage and gear.
The Equinox can store up to 57 cu.ft. of cargo when the rear seats are down. However, there are also numerous storage containers within the interior, so you can smartly store gear and make the most of your SUV’s interior. The spacious seating also ensures that passengers will enjoy the ride no matter the duration. You can upgrade your Equinox further with some nice luxury touches. Heated seats, both for front and rear, are on the menu if you want to make chilly mornings a bit more bearable. With an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, you can ensure you’re getting the support you need to be comfortable while driving. Most excitingly, you have an available Adrenaline Red interior if you go for the 3RS trim. This will drape your seats and dashboard in a fashionable red that gives your interior a sporty vibe.
The Blazer EV also comes with that Adrenaline Red option if you’re seeking a sporty interior. In fact, even before adding the Adrenaline Red, you’ll find that the Blazer has a bit of a playful vibe to its inside. The cargo space available measures larger than the Equinox’s, measuring in at 64.2 cu.ft. with the rear seats down. You won’t have much of a problem loading athletic equipment or suitcases into your Blazer. This SUV arrives on the lot designed for long trips and all the luggage that comes with it. With its 11-inch driver information screen and 17.7-inch diagonal display screen, the tech in your Equinox will stand out to all your passengers. These crystal-clear screens will keep you updated on everything going on with your SUV while providing plenty of infotainment. So, while Chevy paid a lot of attention to the electric aspects of the Equinox and Blazer, the manufacturer did not forget that the interiors need to shine, too.
