The Chevrolet Equinox EV Is Outselling Every EV That’s Not A Tesla

The Chevrolet Equinox EV was flying out of dealerships in July.

General Motors only issues full sales reports quarterly these days, but it lifted the curtain to brag about its entry-level electric vehicle’s success last month.

GM said it delivered more than 8,500 of the compact SUVs in July, which is the most-ever of any EV not made by Tesla. That beat the 6,868 deliveries of the larger and more expensive Mustang Mach-E that Ford racked up in December 2024.

Chevy is still far behind Tesla, which moved an average of 16,000 Model 3s and 29,000 Model Ys each month during the second quarter of 2025, according to Kelly Blue Book. Tesla doesn’t release monthly or U.S.-specific delivery figures for its vehicles.

The Equinox EV is the price leader among electric vehicles that offer a range of at least 300 miles per charge. The base Equinox EV LT starts at $34,995 and is rated at 319 miles between charges.

Electric vehicle sales got a boost in July as many car shoppers rushed to take advantage of the $7,500 federal tax credit on EV purchases that is now set to expire on Sept. 30 after President Trump’s signing of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on July 4. Ford delivered 5,308 Mustang Mach-Es in July, which was more than half of what it delivered in the previous three months.

Chevrolet has also managed to hold the line on price increases for the Mexican-built Equinox EV, despite the new tariffs on imported vehicles that were recently enacted by the Trump administration. Trade negotiations continue and the long-term rate has not been established.

Chevrolet will be adding an even lower-priced U.S-built electric vehicle to its lineup soon. The brand has teased the upcoming reveal of the 2027 Bolt, which will be assembled at a factory in Kansas starting later this year.

The subcompact SUV is based on the Bolt EUV that went out of production in 2023, but features updated styling and new drivetrain and battery technology. Chevrolet hasn’t announced its full specifications or pricing yet, but previously suggested it was aiming for a base price near $30,000.
