Equinox EV vs ICE is about 1,500 lbs heavier or 33%.
I doubt it. I see the same thing in ai search results but on reading it, it actually says EV weight not posted and it estimates 1,500 pounds.
I tried looking up the vehicle and sure enough, weight not listed.
But the reason I doubt that estimate is a Tesla battery weighs about 1,200 pounds depending on model, and EVs typically save some of that weight from the engine and transmission.
I know an Equinox EV isn’t very efficient but I have a hard time believing that it adds more weight than an entire Tesla battery pack, saving nothing by removing engine and transmission …. Unless it’s not at all the same vehicle

That’s insane. Either Chevy is really shitty at building EVs or those are two very different vehicles with the same name
Still don’t think that’s representative
