2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV in Baltimore, MD
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Baltimore's weather, grid and prices.
Baltimore's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (37°F) an Equinox EV gets an estimated 272 miles, 11% under its 307-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around January 15, when it averages 37°F). By April it's back to about 313. Charging at home at Maryland's average rate (21.4¢/kWh) costs about $83 a month for 38 miles a day, against $192 for a gas Equinox on the Central Atlantic's gas. And Baltimore's grid (RFC East), 22% cleaner than the US average, makes it 74% less CO₂ than gas.
Partly estimated. 1 of 5 temperature bands are from 86 real drives of this model; the rest come from 1,548 real drives in EVs at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), applied to its 307-mile rating. Each band switches to its own drives once it has 20 from 3 drivers.

Questions Baltimore drivers ask
How far can an Equinox EV go in a Baltimore winter?
About 272 miles on a typical January day (37°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 15, 37°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 11% below its 307-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge an Equinox EV in Baltimore?
About $83 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Maryland's average home electricity rate of 21.4¢/kWh: about 7.2¢ a mile. A gas Equinox on the Central Atlantic's average gas ($4.31 a gallon) costs about $192 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge an Equinox EV on a regular 120 V outlet in Baltimore?
At 38 miles a day, yes, all year: a 120 V outlet adds about 42 miles in 12 hours even in Baltimore's coldest week, and about 49 on an average day.
Is it greener to drive electric on Baltimore's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Baltimore's grid (RFC East) is 22% cleaner than the US average, so an Equinox EV charged on it makes 74% less CO₂ than a gas Equinox.
