Home chargers for the Chevrolet Equinox EV

2024-2026 model years, 8 EPA-listed configurations

Max AC charging rate
19.2 kW
Full charge (wall energy)
99 to 108 kWh
EPA range
285 to 319 mi
Cost per full charge
about $18.27 to $19.92

The Chevrolet Equinox EV accepts up to 19.2 kW from a home charger depending on trim. J1772 charge port, the standard port. J1772 chargers plug in directly; NACS chargers work with an adapter. 19 of the 176 chargers that plug in directly reach that rate, and every one of them charges this vehicle at exactly the same speed: a more powerful charger will not charge this car faster. The numbers that still separate them are verified price, cable length, and warranty.

Port note: for the 2025, 2026 model years we have not verified which charge port ships on every configuration; check the charge port door before buying.

A full charge costs the same on any Level 2 charger: energy is energy. The figure above uses the national average residential rate (EIA, May 2026); the charging cost calculator has your state's number.

The top ten by the numbers

Selection rule, in full: only chargers with a verified price appear; ranked by charge rate on this car, then by that price; at most two per brand; ten rows at most. Nothing here is an editorial pick.

  3. MUSTART Level 2 EV Charger, 16/25/32/40 A adjustable (NEMA 14-50 plug, 25 ft cord): 1.4 W idle

Each list is named for its metric and drawn from all 176 chargers that plug in directly, priced or not. Standby draw comes from ENERGY STAR test data and is published for 85 of them.

Vehicle figures come from EPA fuel-economy data (2024-2026); the maximum AC rate is verified against the manufacturer's own documentation. Charger specifications follow the same methodology as every page on this site.

Charge rate depends on which Chevrolet Equinox EV you have

This family does not charge at one speed. 2 different AC intake ratings ship across the 8 trims, and a charger cannot exceed the one in your car. Buying for the higher figure when you own the lower trim buys nothing.

TrimOnboard limitCircuit it can useFull charge
standard onboard charger11 kW A9.0 to 9.8 h
optional 19.2 kW onboard charge module (RST)19.2 kW A5.2 to 5.6 h

Intake figures are manufacturer-published, not derived from EPA data. Source: the maker's own documentation. Full-charge times assume 99 to 108 kWh drawn from the wall, which already includes charging losses.

What a full charge costs

Electricity is the whole running cost, and it is the number that varies most by where you live. A full 99 to 108 kWh at the Chevrolet Equinox EV, priced three ways:

RateCents per kWhFull charge
Idaho, the cheapest state12.35$12.24 to $13.34
National average18.44$18.27 to $19.92
Hawaii, the most expensive52.00$51.53 to $56.16

Rates are the EIA residential series, May 2026. Your own utility and any time-of-use plan decide the real figure.

The circuit this car needs

A home charger is a continuous load, so the National Electrical Code sizes both the breaker and the conductor at 125 percent of its draw. A charger matched to this car's 19.2 kW ceiling pulls 80 amps at 240 volts, which needs a 100 amp circuit rather than the 80 amp one the arithmetic alone suggests. That gap is where most installation quotes go wrong.

Of the 176 chargers that plug in directly here, 19 meet or beat the car's ceiling. Going above it changes nothing for this vehicle, though it leaves headroom for a future one that draws more.

Chevrolet Equinox EV home charging questions

How long does it take to charge a Chevrolet Equinox EV at home?
The Chevrolet Equinox EV accepts up to 19.2 kW of AC, so a charger that meets or beats that fills it as fast as the car allows. A full charge draws 99 to 108 kWh from the wall, which is about 5.2-5.6 h on the fastest compatible charger in this list. A charger rated above 19.2 kW does not charge it any faster.
What size charger does a Chevrolet Equinox EV need?
Match the car's 19.2 kW ceiling and stop there. 19 of the 176 chargers that plug in directly in this database reach it. Anything more powerful is spare capacity for a future car, not extra speed for this one.
Which connector does the Chevrolet Equinox EV use?
J1772 charge port, the standard port. J1772 chargers plug in directly; NACS chargers work with an adapter.
How much does it cost to charge a Chevrolet Equinox EV at home?
About $18.27 to $19.92 for a full charge at the national average residential rate of 18.44 cents per kWh (EIA, May 2026). Your own rate decides the real figure, and it varies by more than a factor of four between states.
How were these chargers chosen?
Only chargers with a verified price appear; ranked by charge rate on this car, then by that price; at most two per brand; ten rows at most. Nothing here is an editorial pick. Nothing is ranked by commission and no charger is called best. Every figure is verified against a primary source or left blank.
