Chevy even sold an electric car for less than $20,000 after the federal tax credit way back in 2013.

In corners, the Equinox EV drives with the basic competence and indifference of pretty much every other compact crossover—gas, electric, or hybrid. The steering is accurate without being quick, and the ride is comfortable but not cosseting. It’s not sporty, nor is it soft.
