2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV in Ogden, UT
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Ogden's weather, grid and prices.
In a typical Ogden January (29°F), an Equinox EV gets an estimated 244 miles on a charge, 20% less than its 307-mile rating, and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around December 30, when it averages 28°F). By May it's back to about 315. Charging at home at Utah's average rate (13.1¢/kWh) costs about $53 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $199 a gas Equinox costs on the Rocky Mountains's gas. And Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 71% 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 Ogden drivers ask
How far can an Equinox EV go in a Ogden winter?
About 244 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around December 30, 28°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 20% below its 307-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Ogden averages 68 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge an Equinox EV in Ogden?
About $53 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Utah's average home electricity rate of 13.1¢/kWh: about 4.6¢ a mile. A gas Equinox on the Rocky Mountains's average gas ($4.47 a gallon) costs about $199 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge an Equinox EV on a regular 120 V outlet in Ogden?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 47 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 38 in the coldest week, so it can fall a little behind then. A 240 V outlet fills it from 10% in about 9 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Ogden's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so an Equinox EV charged on it makes 71% less CO₂ than a gas Equinox.
