The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV is available with front-wheel drive (319 miles of range) or all-wheel drive (307 miles of range). AWD gives you added traction during Wisconsin's snow, slush, rain, and changing seasonal conditions-a practical advantage for Chippewa Falls winters.

The range difference is modest: you trade about 12 miles for the extra traction security that AWD provides year-round. For many Wisconsin drivers, that trade-off makes sense, especially if you encounter frequent snow or ice.

Our Chevrolet specialists at Markquart Motors can help you weigh FWD versus AWD based on your local driving, commute needs, and seasonal patterns. Call us at (715) 833-0444 to discuss which setup is right for your lifestyle, or browse our current Equinox EV inventory online.
