As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to reshape the automotive landscape, one pressing question remains for Ohio drivers: How well do EVs handle winter conditions, especially snow and ice? At Firelands Chevy Vermilion, we’re proud to spotlight the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV — a revolutionary all-electric SUV that’s not only built for innovation but also engineered for reliability in challenging weather conditions like those found on the winter roads of Wakeman.
In this article, we’ll explore how the 2025 Equinox EV performs in snowy and icy conditions, showcasing the technological advancements, design elements, and winter-ready features that make this EV a standout choice for northern Ohio drivers. With Firelands Chevy Vermilion as your trusted dealership partner, you’ll understand why this model is not just another EV — it’s a dependable winter warrior.
All-Wheel Drive Confidence for Winter Roads
One of the most important features in a winter-ready vehicle is all-wheel drive (AWD), and the 2025 Equinox EV delivers with a robust AWD system available on select trims. Unlike traditional combustion engine vehicles, the Equinox EV’s electric drivetrain distributes torque instantly and evenly to all four wheels. This means maximum traction during snowy or icy conditions, helping you maintain control on treacherous Wakeman backroads or during morning commutes along Route 60.
When paired with Chevrolet’s advanced traction control system, the Equinox EV intelligently detects and adapts to slipping wheels, delivering smooth and stable performance even in blizzard-like conditions.

Snow-Optimized Regenerative Braking
Another unique winter feature of the Equinox EV is its regenerative braking system. This advanced feature allows the vehicle to capture kinetic energy during deceleration, converting it into stored energy for the battery. But more importantly for winter driving, it also offers increased control during downhill drives or when decelerating on slippery roads.
Drivers can select from multiple regen-brake settings, including One-Pedal Driving Mode, which allows for smoother transitions and better handling when maneuvering through snowy streets in downtown Wakeman.
Battery Technology Engineered for Cold Climates
Cold weather can impact battery performance, but the 2025 Equinox EV is built with thermal battery management systems designed to optimize battery range and efficiency during low temperatures. Its preconditioning feature allows drivers to warm up the vehicle and battery while still plugged in, ensuring full range capability before even hitting the road.

Ground Clearance and Stability: Built for Midwest Roads
Wakeman’s rural roads and snowdrifts are no match for the Equinox EV’s elevated ride height and low center of gravity. With its carefully engineered weight distribution and responsive electric steering, the vehicle maintains stability and road grip even when snow starts piling up.
This unique blend of SUV ground clearance and EV handling dynamics makes the Equinox EV especially suited to northeast Ohio driving — whether you're heading to work, school, or a winter getaway.
