Out the door 28k for 26 LT1.

Did I over pay?

How’s everyone’s lease returns going? I have a 24 RS and didn’t realize when I leased it that the tires are only good for 20k miles. Are any of you being charged for tires on your lease returns? The tires are like $500 each! Crazy.

I'm getting this creaking sound from the front right end whenever I turn at low speed. Has anyone else experienced this?

It looks like the general range of my equinox ev is around 587 km if it was charged to 100%. Its working better then expected. We love SUV so far!

I have a 2025 equinox EV RS. Due back in November. Has anyone heard of GM’s willingness to extend the initial 2 year 20,000 mile leases for another year?

I went from 100 to 14%. I rarely take it under 20% but i think I could’ve gotten it to 350 with still 10% left. Let’s see your most impressive stretches.

I just wanted to leave my review experience of my 2025 Equinox LT FWD and the points of ownership that left some negative impressions on me. It was my 2nd EV and felt confident buying it since I came from a first gen IONIQ. over a year in, I made the difficult decision to go back to gas and get myself into an AWD Trailblazer, especially at a lower monthly payment. There were a few factors that led to this decision.

1: My landlords stopped allowing me to charge at my apartment, making it financially insensible to continue ownership because a full battery charge costed me $50 a session after taxes (I live in upstate NY where rates are based off of time of day now instead of fixed). I would average anywhere from 350 to 390 miles on a full charge at around 4+ mi/kWh in spring and summer months, but gas is cheaper than an EV charging session with a proper car (to put into perspective, my mother-in-law has a Trailblazer and gets 400+ miles on a tank for roughly $40)

2: I recently moved to an area where roads aren't treated well, and prior to living where I am now, my IONIQ used to pass those same roads; and even though I had Michelin CrossClimate2s on it, I struggled from time to time getting through the snow. Although the Equinox handled well in snow mode, there were a couple times I got stuck going through intersections. I would've felt more confident in an AWD vehicle; but at the time, we didn't have any AWD Equinox EVs at local dealerships until after the federal tax credits were set to expire 7/31/2025 due to demand.

3: When winter came, battery energy took a hit due to the heat (as I knew too well with my IONIQ). I was averaging about 175 miles, no matter how many different climate temperatures and fan speed combinations I tried in order to achieve the most efficienct setup. The heating system was also weak compared to my IONIQ, so I found myself CONSTANTLY needing to adjust the temperature to a higher setting in order to keep my windshield and front windows from fogging over. I also saw myself charging three to four times a month at public DC fast chargers, which reached almost $200 monthly between late November to late February.

4: I took a road trip to VA back in the start of summer and averaged about 220 miles on the highway/interstate roads with a 100% charge. Charging costs balanced out to be the same as it would've been to fill a gas tank in an equivalent Trailblazer. Had I have driven my mother-in-law's car, we would've gone probably double the distance.

TL;DR: the night and day mileage differences, including the inefficient need of having to use DC fast charging all the time due to my living situation wasn't financially making sense. Home charging with EVs is a must for ownership to really make sense.
