The Chevy Equinox EV crushed it in July, the best sales month ever for a non-Tesla EV

It wasn’t just the best sales month so far for the Chevy Equinox EV. It was the best for a non-Tesla EV in the US. The electric SUV is selling like hotcakes, driving GM’s EV sales up more than 115% in July.

Chevy Equinox EV marks a first for a non-Tesla

GM sold over 19,000 electric vehicles in the US last month, more than doubling year-over-year and its best July sales month yet. The surge was led by “America’s most affordable 315+ range EV,” the Chevy Equinox EV.

After launching the lower-priced LT model in late 2024, starting under $35,000, Chevy Equinox EV sales have surged.

In the first quarter, the electric Equinox drove Chevy to become the fastest-growing EV brand in the US. It’s now expected to be among the top three selling EVs in the US this year, behind the Tesla Model Y and 3.

As sales continued surging last month, the electric Equinox hit another significant milestone. With 8,500 models sold, the Chevy Equinox EV notched its best sales month so far, but it was also the best for any non-Tesla EV in the US.

GM sold over 8,500 Chevy Equinox EVs in July, nearly half of the roughly 19,000 electric vehicle sales for the month.

Just to compare, last month Honda sold 6,318 Prologues, Hyundai sold 5,818 IONIQ 5s, and Ford sold 5,308 Mustang Mach-Es.

The electric SUV is flying off the lot, boasting more than enough driving range, fast charging capabilities, and an affordable price.

“The first thing for Equinox is the look and design. And once they get behind the wheel, they fall in love,” according to Isidro Bomnin, who owns two of Chevy’s highest-selling EV dealerships in South Florida. Bomnin said the electric SUV is “seeing a lot of conquest buyers from other brands,” including younger buyers.

Earlier this summer, a dealer from California reached out to Electrek, saying it could have sold even more Equinox EVs, but some buyers were waiting over 30 days for their vehicles.

GM has now sold around 36,000 Chevy Equinox EV models through July. In comparison, Ford has sold 27,093 Mustang Mach-Es, Hyundai has sold 24,910 IONIQ 5s, and Honda has sold 22,635 Prologues so far this year.

The company admits that the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is helping boost industry-wide demand. However, that’s set to expire at the end of September. Until then, GM is offering generous discounts to push inventory.

With leases starting as low as $289 per month, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV remains one of the best deals on the market. Hyundai, Honda, and Ford are also offering significant savings ahead of the incentive cutoff. Ready to try one out for yourself? you can use our links below to view models in your area.
