This Chevy Equinox EV Was Fine. Then It Dropped To 0% And Bricked

"Tom Moloughney's Chevrolet Equinox EV unexpectedly bricked itself a few days ago, even though it had been running problem-free until then and it's only done around 9,500 miles since new. Tom posted a video on his channel, State of Charge, explaining what happened. He started up the Equinox after it had been sitting for about six days and it showed that it had 46% battery remaining."

"He began driving the car, but it suddenly dropped to 0% and lost all power. The steering didn't lock up and Tom was able to slide down the road and back into his driveway before calling a tow truck to pick the car up and take it to the dealer. When the truck arrived an hour later, they started the car back up again and it was again showing 46%, and they were able to drive it under its own power onto the flatbed."

Tom Moloughney's Chevrolet Equinox EV bricked after its displayed state of charge fell from 46% to 0% and the vehicle lost all power. The car had about 9,500 miles and had been sitting six days before the failure. The myChevrolet app had warned of a high-voltage battery fault a week earlier and suggested dealer service. After the bricking event, the vehicle later restarted and again showed 46% state of charge, allowing it to be driven onto a tow flatbed. Tom noted a 12% overnight drain while parked and proposed the issue could be a faulty 12‑volt battery or software error.
