2026 CHEVROLET EV COMPARISON • ST. LOUIS
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV and 2026 Blazer EV both seat up to five and provide a practical path into electric driving around St. Louis. Equinox EV emphasizes everyday range and useful space in a compact EV package. Blazer EV offers a different design and a broader performance range, including the SS. Compare matching 2026 configurations and the exact purchase proposals rather than one model’s base price against the other’s highest-output trim. Start with the specific trim, drivetrain and charging routine you would actually use.

EPA range varies by trim, weather, route and charging access.
Range figures below are EPA estimates for named U.S. configurations. They are not a prediction of your actual mileage in winter, at highway speed or while towing. Cargo figures are maximum volume with the rear seating area reconfigured; try your real luggage in both vehicles.
| Question | Equinox EV | Blazer EV |
|---|---|---|
| Example EPA range | 319 miles FWD; 307 miles AWD | 312 miles RS FWD; 302 miles SS |
| Maximum cargo volume | 57.2 cu. ft. | 59.1 cu. ft. |
| Performance choice | FWD or available AWD | LT, RS and performance-focused SS choices |
Chevrolet describes the 2026 Blazer EV SS as producing 615 horsepower with Wide Open Watts engaged. That figure is specific to the SS in its stated mode; it does not describe LT or RS vehicles. Ask whether that performance is part of your actual shopping priorities.
Treat range, cabin fit and performance as three different questions rather than a single EV winner score.
Map weekly miles and the charger you can use most nights before applying an EPA range figure.
Test seating and the hatch with rear passengers in place. The cargo numbers are close; shapes differ.
Blazer EV SS is a distinct purchase. Compare it with LT, RS and Equinox EV.
Equinox EV’s published 319-mile FWD and 307-mile AWD estimates show why drivetrain matters. Chevrolet lists 312 miles for a Blazer EV RS with FWD and 302 miles for Blazer EV SS. Other configurations can differ. A single “maximum range” row without a trim name can mislead buyers into expecting that figure on every listing.
For a St. Louis commute, estimate a week’s actual driving, including school or work stops, errands and trips between West County and St. Charles. Then decide how often you would charge at home versus on the road. EPA estimates are standardized comparisons, but weather, tires, speed, terrain, cabin heat, battery conditioning and accessories can change real-world results. Keep a buffer for cold mornings and unexpected detours rather than planning to arrive at a charger with almost no charge left.
Ask whether you can install Level 2 charging where you park and what the installed cost would be. Compare your utility’s rates and any off-peak plan with the projected miles you drive. If you rely on public charging, map stations along a normal route and confirm connector, network access, reliability and your actual vehicle’s compatibility. Do not assume every fast charger delivers its advertised peak power to every vehicle.
Chevrolet says the 2026 Equinox EV can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 42 minutes under stated DC fast-charging conditions; Chevrolet gives approximately 39 minutes for a 2026 Blazer EV. Those figures depend on battery temperature, state of charge, charger output and configuration. For Tesla Supercharger access, Chevrolet describes an available GM-approved NACS adapter for the 2026 Blazer EV. Ask the team to demonstrate the connector and adapter needed for the specific EV you select rather than assuming it is included.
Both EVs have a five-seat layout, but their seating position, outward visibility, hatch shape and styling feel different. Chevrolet lists 57.2 cubic feet maximum cargo volume for Equinox EV and 59.1 for Blazer EV. A small difference in maximum volume may matter less than whether your stroller fits behind the occupied second row or how easy it is to load a bulky bag. Bring the items you actually carry.
Equinox EV includes a 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen on the 2026 model. Blazer EV also centers its cabin around a large display, with trim-specific features to inspect. Before buying, connect your phone, set a route, try climate controls and ask what connected services require a plan. Chevrolet says the 2026 Equinox EV does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; it uses Google built-in compatibility. Confirm the exact Blazer EV interface and your preferred apps in person.
The Blazer EV SS is compelling if acceleration is a genuine priority, but compare its tire, insurance, price and range implications with a regular RS or LT. If most trips are local, Equinox EV may meet your needs without paying for performance you seldom use. Neither EV should be judged solely by a zero-to-60 figure. Driver-assistance and hands-free features also vary by trim, package, subscription and supported roads; ask for a demonstration and read the limitations.
Request itemized written prices for two real VINs. Include the vehicle price, taxes, title, registration, dealer charges, optional products, financing terms, insurance quotes, charging installation and expected electricity cost. Federal, state and utility programs can change and may have eligibility rules; verify any incentive before using it in the budget. Do not use an expired offer or ineligible incentive when estimating your own costs.
Weber Chevrolet is located at 12015 Olive Boulevard in Creve Coeur. Ask for an Equinox EV and a Blazer EV test drive on a route that includes local streets, a highway segment and a parking maneuver if available. Share the stock numbers, intended charging setup and your passenger/cargo needs before visiting from St. Louis, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Maryland Heights or St. Charles. Availability varies, and the store can confirm which trims are on site.
Use the Chevrolet SUV shopping hub to explore both models, then contact Weber Chevrolet to compare actual vehicles. A side-by-side drive and two written proposals are more useful than a winner label assigned to different trims.
