Cheapest first. “vs Mazda CX-5” is the 5-year ownership difference (green = EV cheaper to own, amber = more). “EV wins above” is the annual mileage at which the Chevrolet Equinox EV overtakes the Mazda CX-5 — drive more than that and the EV is the cheaper choice, because it makes up its higher depreciation in fuel savings.

Estimates using state-average rates and EPA efficiency; depreciation, insurance, and incentives are estimates you can edit on each state page. “EV wins above” scales fuel and energy with mileage while holding other costs constant — a directional threshold, not a guarantee. “—” means the EV doesn't overtake on mileage alone here.
