Social media is packed with people showing off their luxurious lives in coastal California, and the ridiculously overpriced Erewhon grocery store chain has become a darling of people with cash to burn. Chevy seems to think those people are the perfect target for its latest Equinox EV marketing ploy, with the automaker giving free bottles of Erewhon’s viral almost-$20 smoothie to anyone who test drives the new vehicle at one of the chain’s L.A.-area stores.

My family recently bought a 2024 Honda Prologue on a lease deal that brought our monthly payments down to well below $300, but General Motors recently made the related Chevrolet Equinox EV an even better deal than that. The automaker’s new lease incentives for the vehicle make it $239 per month for a 24-month lease, though there’s still a significant down payment due at signing.

Despite growing in number and popularity, EVs are still too expensive, and most are significantly pricier than comparable gas models. Even with government tax credits and other incentives, electric models are out of reach for many buyers, and the seemingly constant pricing fluctuations aren’t helping. Chevy originally announced that the upcoming Equinox EV would start at around $30,000, but the automaker recently crushed our hopes and dreams with – you guessed it – a price increase.

General Motors is gearing up for the release of several new EVs over the next few years, starting with the Chevrolet Equinox EV this fall. Expected to land with a price tag of $30,000, the SUV could be the start of a new wave of affordable electric models, and we’re getting our first official look at the vehicle thanks to InsideEVs’ digging on China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)  site.
