Why Go Electric in the Seattle Area

The Puget Sound area is a great place to own an EV: more charging stations, local incentives, and rising gas, and parking costs make EVs more attractive. Washington State and some cities offer perks like reduced registration fees, possible utility or tax rebates.

If you’re looking for a new or used EV, Burien Chevrolets may have the deal and vehicle that’s perfect for you.

Top EV Deals at Burien Chevrolet

Here are several current EV-oriented deals that stand out. Always check with the dealer for availability and exact terms.

Model	Key Deal Highlights	What Makes It Strong for Seattle Buyers
2025 Equinox EV LT	Internet price $39,795 (MSRP ~$43,295) after discounts. Includes “Customer Cash” and dealer discount. 0% APR financing for 60 months for well-qualified buyers.	The range (EPA) is decent for regional commuting; Seattle to Everett, Tacoma, or even cross-sound trips become easier. Financial incentives + zero emission credits help offset higher cost of EV charging at home or on public chargers.
2025 Equinox EV RS	Savings of $6,000 off MSRP (~$57,340) → Internet price ~$51,340.	For people who want more features (AWD, higher trims), this offers a way into a well-equipped EV without paying full sticker. Useful for places with hills, rain, etc.—AWD can help.
2024 Equinox EV RS	~$3,990 savings, with final price ~ $44,000.	This is a value play. If you don’t need brand-new, you get almost new plus incentives. Good if you want more features but want to keep payments down.
2024 Blazer EV RS	Marked down from MSRP ~$56,170 to $52,000, ~$4,170 in savings.	The Blazer EV is more SUV-like; good if you need more space, or ride height, or want a more commanding view. Great for Seattleites with weekend trips, needing cargo, or carrying gear.
2026 Blazer EV SS	Recent drop of ~$1,000: $1,000 customer cash + other private offers. $63,485 internet price. Offers like low APR (1.9% for 36 months) and payment deferral are sometimes stacked in.	Good future-proof pick. Strong range, more features. If you can wait a bit for delivery, and want premium EV features, might be worth stretching.
Silverado EV Trail Boss / Extended Range	~$1,000 off, plus other local incentives. ~$76,000 internet price.	Titling, insurance, utility costs will be higher, but if you do a lot of hauling, have towing needs, or want a large EV truck (for region’s terrain or lifestyle), this is one of the few EV trucks available.

What to Check / Ask For When Shopping Around Seattle

Because the Seattle area has unique considerations and incentives, here are some tips to get the best deal:

1. Range vs Weather and Terrain
   • Consider the typical commute / how often you cross the mountain passes or go on long drives. EVs lose more range in cold/damp weather than ICE cars lose miles for similar fuel.
   • An AWD EV may matter more here than in drier, flatter regions.
2. Charging Infrastructure
   • If you live in the city: Do you have off-street parking to install a home charger or access to Level 2 charging?
   • If you commute or road trip: What’s the fast charger network like along I-5, over the passes, around the Sound?
3. Dealer Discounts + Private Offers
   • Things like Costco member incentives, private offers, “customer cash” are often stackable. Ask the dealer how they combine them. Burien seems to use such strategies.
   • Also watch for special financing deals (0% APR, low APR) or payment deferral options. These can lower monthly cost even if a car looks more expensive upfront.
4. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
   • Maintenance: EVs tend to need less in terms of oil changes, belts, etc., but battery replacement or cooling/heating in cold weather add considerations.
   • Charging costs: your utility rate, public charger fees, etc.
   • Resale: EV resale values depend a lot on battery condition, mileage, how quickly tech advances.

Best Picks by Buyer Profile

Here are suggestions for what type of EV deal might be best depending on what you care about:

• Urban commuter / daily drive: The 2025 Equinox EV LT is probably the best combo of price, comfort, and range.
• Feature-rich AWD / hill / all-weather use: Go for Equinox EV RS or a Blazer EV RS/SS. The AWD and higher trim may cost more but give better performance in Puget Sound’s terrain.
• SUV / space + gear: The Blazer EV or even Silverado EVs are better if you often haul bikes, gear, or passengers.
• Budget-conscious but want EV: A 2024 model with savings + incentives (like the Equinox EV RS 2024) can deliver much of the benefits but at a lower cost.
