What are the best things to buy for the trunk of my new Chevy Equinox EV so my groceries dont slide around? Sorry if this is a total newbie question but I just got the car last week and I have no idea what I actually need.
The back is just this big empty plastic and carpet space and it feels like everything just flies everywhere when I turn. I saw some nets and those folding bin things online but I'm worried they wont fit the EV version right because the floor looks different than the gas ones. Im in Seattle and do a lot of grocery runs and have about 150 bucks to spend on this right now. Does anyone have any specific brands they like that actually fit?

I've been driving EVs for a few years now and learned the hard way that heavy batteries mean quicker acceleration, which makes groceries fly everywhere if you arent careful. I was pretty satisfied with the space in the Equinox EV but that carpet is like an ice rink. I didnt want to spend a fortune so I went the budget route and it works perfectly for my weekly runs.
- Starling's Car Trunk Organizer Adjustable 3 Compartments
- I just strap this to the side hooks so it stays centered.
- Motor Trend DualFlex All-Weather Rubber Cargo Mat
- This was a lifesaver for grip. I think I spent maybe 70 bucks total on both. The mat was slightly long but I just trimmed the edges with scissors and it looks stock. Honestly its held up great and nothing slides anymore, even when I'm taking corners a bit too fast... definitely keep some of that 150 in your pocket.

To add to the point above: unfortunately i had issues with generic bins tipping. Rola 59001 M.O.V.E. Rigid Base Organizer is safer than Starling's Car Trunk Organizer which isnt sturdy enough for groceries.

Stick to high-quality gear. Things shift fast. I'd suggest these:
- Consider the Chevrolet Equinox EV Vertical Cargo Net first. It stops bags from tumbling out.
- Make sure to get the WeatherTech CargoTech Containment System. It uses blocks to keep groceries pinned safely. Be careful with generic bins. Check your floor clearance. The EV floor is different. Don't want things flying.
