Gone are the days when an EV in the driveway marked you as the neighborhood eccentric. And although early sales projections have revealed themselves to be more than a tad optimistic, electric vehicles continue to roll off the line and into the garages of everyday consumers.

Which brings us to the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT AWD and the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S AWD, a pair of family-friendly EVs aimed right down the center of Main Street, U.S.A. In addition to all-wheel drive, both feature EPA range estimates of over 250 miles and the crossover body style that has all but eliminated the sedan as the vehicle of choice for suburbanites. While neither had the fun factor to win EV of the Year, the competition revealed one of them to have an edge for mainstream SUV shoppers considering going electric.
