See the 7 coolest electric SUVs coming in 2023, from the beastly Hummer to the budget-friendly Chevy Equinox

  • In 2023, you'll be able to choose from more electric vehicles than ever before.

  • Startups like Fisker and Polestar will release their very first SUVs.

  • Major brands like Kia and Chevy plan to unleash new battery-powered SUVs, too.

Electric cars are way, way more expensive than their gas counterparts on the whole. But Chevrolet is looking to change that.

The new Equinox EV coming next spring promises a starting price of around $30,000 — less than almost every other electric car on the market today.

That base model will offer a respectable 250 miles of range, while models with the larger battery option will deliver 300 miles.

Chevy also plans to launch the Blazer EV, a slightly pricier model that takes aim at popular rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y.
