Equinox EV battery degradation and used range
EV batteries lose capacity slowly. At the average rate measured across 22,700 EVs (2.3% a year), a 2024 Equinox EV rated for 513 km would have roughly 490 km of range today.
Equinox EV used range by model year
| Model year | Rated when new | Age (years) | At 1.5%/yr | At 2.3%/yr | At 3.0%/yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 513 km | 2 | 498 km | 490 km | 483 km |
| 2025 | 513 km | 1 | 505 km | 501 km | 498 km |
| 2026 | 513 km | 0 | 513 km | 513 km | 513 km |
The three columns reflect how the car was charged. Telematics firm Geotab found about 1.5% a year for EVs that rarely use DC fast chargers, 2.3% on average, and around 3% for EVs that fast-charge heavily at high power. Rated range is the longest version for each model year.
Checking a used Equinox EV
Ask the seller for a battery health or state-of-health report from a dealer or a battery-testing service, and check whether the original battery warranty still applies. A full charge that shows a much lower range estimate than this table, in mild weather, is worth questioning.
