I made the trip to Toronto to visit some friends and we saw the Equinox EV at the 2023 Canadian International AutoShow.
if any of us are lucky to get our hands on them$37,732 Canadian for 1LT edition......😉
That's about $27,863.20 USD based on current exchange rates which is below $30,000.$37,732 Canadian for 1LT edition......😉
Oems tend to charge lower msrp in Canada due to the poor exchange and lack of massive tax credits.That's about $27,863.20 USD based on current exchange rates which is below $30,000.
same lol 2lt with awdWhatever reason, I'm totally down with it......
Still planning on going with the 2LT version, though.....👍
I am waiting for the configuration to go live to see what the prices and trims look like respectively. And the US updated EV savings benefit plan (IRA). I rather have the instant rebate off MSRP instead the tax to be honest.same lol 2lt with awd
I really hope they offer the V2L as an upgrade in the Limited 2RS version. Such a useful feature IMO.Whatever reason, I'm totally down with it......

Its true I would always have that option. But the inverters used for those generally don't carry a lot of wattage. Hyundai has a really simple solution where they just use the rear motors inverter for the V2L rather than having a separate inverter to keep the cots down. Fingers crossed GM follows suit.We saw a 120V V2L (Vehicle to Load) outlet in one of the Equinox EV videos, but these cars all have the pre-production disclaimer, "production model may vary".

It appears the V2L is going to be an expensive option
Based on what I have read, it appears for the US only, that in order to get V2L (vehicle to load) for the Equinox EV you must select several different (expensive) options. 1. Must select 3 RS trim (highest trim) 2. Must select AWD option in order to get to the option to purchase the 19.2-kW...www.equinoxevforum.com
However, rumor is V2L will be available on the Equinox EV 3RS trim as long as you also have these added options:
1. Must select AWD option in order to get to the option to purchase the 19.2-kW bidirectional on-board charger
3. Must select 19.2-kW bidirectional on-board charger option
4. Must select V2L option
Alternatively, you might consider installing an inverter on your own and using that to power 120V devices. It may be not as clean as a factory installed capability bit it could be much less expensive.
This was from a Forbes article, not an official GM statement.
"A new feature that GM is discussing for the first time in the context of the Equinox EV is vehicle to load (V2L) capability. The top 3RS trim level will be available with an optional 19.2-kW bidirectional on-board charger. With an 80-amp wall charger at home, this one can add 51 miles of charge per hour. However, it will also be able to put out up to 3kW of power for other devices. For now Chevrolet isn’t providing any other details such as if an adapter with an AC outlet will be required similar to the V2L system offered by Hyundai and Kia. While GM officials declined to confirm if this capability will be available on its other EVs, it seems likely that at least those with the 19.2-kW charger will be able to provide power."
Whether GM would have V2L as an option for other trims is unknown. But it could be a popular option.

We all are Kabloona, which is why having a clear image of the tire marking would be helpful(Just guessing....)
