Every Equinox EV trim, side by side
From each trim's onboard charger rating, not a generic EV number. Pick your trim to run the assessment with it pre-selected.
| Trim | Years | Onboard charger | Draw at 240V | Full-speed install | Empty to full | Range per hour | Range / battery | Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1LT FWD | 2025–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 7.4 hrs | ~40 mi | 319 mi / 85 kWh | Check panel |
| 2LT AWD | 2025–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 7.4 hrs | ~39 mi | 307 mi / 85 kWh | Check panel |
| 2LT FWD | 2024–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 7.4 hrs | ~39 mi | 319 mi / 85 kWh | Check panel |
| 3RS AWD | 2024–2026 | 11.5 kW | ~48A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 7.4 hrs | ~36 mi | 285 mi / 85 kWh | Check panel |
Draw = onboard charger kW x 1000 / 240V. Empty to full = battery kWh / charger kW. Range per hour = charger kW x the trim's efficiency. DC fast peaks: 1LT FWD 150 kW, 2LT AWD 150 kW, 2LT FWD 150 kW, 3RS AWD 150 kW.
Range added per hour, by charger size
Miles added per hour of charging at common home charger settings. Past a trim's onboard rating a bigger charger adds nothing, so those cells are marked.
| Charger | 1LT FWD | 2LT AWD | 2LT FWD | 3RS AWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16A (3.8 kW) | ~13 mi | ~13 mi | ~13 mi | ~12 mi |
| 24A (5.8 kW) | ~20 mi | ~20 mi | ~20 mi | ~18 mi |
| 32A (7.7 kW) | ~27 mi | ~26 mi | ~26 mi | ~24 mi |
| 40A (9.6 kW) | ~34 mi | ~33 mi | ~33 mi | ~30 mi |
| 48A (11.5 kW) | ~40 mi | ~39 mi | ~39 mi | ~36 mi |
| 8-hour overnight, full speed | ~320 mi | ~312 mi | ~312 mi | ~288 mi |
What this means for your panel
The circuit in the table is what lets your trim charge at its full rating. A smaller circuit still works and charges slower. Whether your panel has room for the circuit you want depends on everything else already on it: that is the actual assessment.
Connector: CCS. CCS (Combined Charging System) is the most common connector on non-Tesla EVs for both home Level 2 charging and public DC fast charging.
Full Chevrolet Equinox EV charger installation guideChevrolet Equinox EV charging questions
What size circuit does a Chevrolet Equinox EV need for home charging?
Every Equinox EV trim reaches its full home charging speed with a 48A charger on a 60A circuit. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it.
How many amps does a Chevrolet Equinox EV draw on Level 2?
48A at 240V, depending on trim. That is the onboard charger rating (11.5 kW) divided by 240 volts.
How long does a Chevrolet Equinox EV take to charge at home?
About 7.4 hours from empty to full at each trim's maximum Level 2 speed: battery size divided by onboard charger rating. Most nights you only refill what you drove.
Do all Equinox EV trims charge at the same speed at home?
For 2026 models, yes: every Equinox EV trim listed here uses a 11.5 kW onboard charger, so the home install is the same.
