    Chevy Equinox EV will have a Trim under 35k 2024 Equinox The money you save from gas would help with the car payment, plus GM has a deal with getting a L2 charger installed in your home.

      A $35,000 car (with what I could afford for a down payment, what I think I’d get for my trade-in, and at 8% interest), would be $655 a month. That’s budget busting for me.

      Even ignoring costs to install a charger, I spend about $80 in gas a month, so that wouldn’t be a huge savings. I’d still be spending an additional $575 a month which would be enough to put me in the red every month.

      The hybrids I was looking at cost $21K to $29K and even those would stress my budget out.

      If this thing is anything like the ICE Equinox, you’re better off buying literally any other vehicle.
