r/EquinoxEv

I feel like I've tried everything on road trips to use my Google Maps to include Telsa Superchargers but it'll tend to find the slowest ones along the route on a road trip.

I've been using ABRP, good charger routing along the way but isn't live data like Google so I'm constantly switching back and forth.

Is there a way I can add the Tesla network to my Google Maps?

In the last couple of weeks, my iPhone switched back and forth from car channel to phone randomly when I am on the phone. Thoughts?

Other than cost and slight reduction in range are there any other negatives associated with AWD?

Hi all-getting ready to drive from Bakersfield to Las Vegas. I am looking for app recommendations to find charging points. I will also be getting a Tesla adapter. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Going out of town and will be parking my EQ EV for 2 weeks. Anything special I should do? Plugged in?

Thanks.

My older tech challenged father asked me to connect his phone to his 2025 equinox ev to listen to audio books instead of using his Bluetooth. I see an option for USB on the media system. I have all the USB permissions correct on his phone, but unable to play media. Is this only for USB drives with files? Is Bluetooth the only option for phones?

One thing that bothers me is how physically hard the pedal is to push down. Even to go at 50 mph requires a pretty heavy foot to hold down the pedal.

Going 50mph up a slope requires even more strength to push down the pedal.

After a while it gets pretty tiring.

Compared to my other EV, it is way more tiring to push and hold the pedal. I think its because the electronic regen is so aggressive.

Anybody else bothered by this?

Hey all - another on star issue. My "subscription ended", even though I should have 8 years included.

My Google Maps only has offline mode - so no live traffic.
Spotify also no longer works.

Does the 8 year plan that should be included fix either of these? I felt I should have live traffic 100%, and a little less sure if Spotify should work.

My window sticker explicitly states (however, it's impossible to find what basics includes or doesn't include):
"8 YEARS ONSTAR BASICS, SEE ONSTAR.COM FOR TERMS"

I am ready to get rid of my GM products if they continue to rely on onstar for crap like this.

Can they make RAB (Rear Automatic Braking) any more abrupt on the Equinox? I want it to feel like I hit a brick wall rather than just running someone over.

I’m not new to EV’s but I was just using a 150kw EA charger and I was capped out at 26kw down. It stopped after 10-15m but I feel like there is an issue with the charger??

I just purchased equinox ev 2026 RS AWD yesterday and it is not charging on the 110v. I went to the DC and it charging there but not the AC at home. Once I plug it, it say connected but not charging. Please any help

I have a 2025 equinox ev, and I use the built in Google maps for everything. It now randomly stopped working for no reason. For example, I’ll be driving in a neighborhood, and the Google maps will show that I’m on the highway. Is there a fix for this?

I have a 25 rs with those big ass 21 inch tires. Not a lot of options for replacements. That being said, besides going back to Chevy for the stock tires, does anyone have any recommendations that they have used? Has anyone put on the michelin crossclimate 2 tires on? I live in an area that snows a lot in winter. I’m looking for good quality snow rated tires. Not necessarily snow tires. Any thoughts? I would appreciate anything.
