I will take the EV over the 150 HP 4 cylinder powered vehicle. The 1.5T doesn't sound good, sure you have shift points, but with no power behind it, meh.

I can totally see why car people with sports or performance vehicles resist EV's. I could have had a Model S Plaid for a crap ton less money than my Z06. But stupid fast acceleration isn't what I was after. The sound of the FPC V8, the shifts of the DCT, the crackles, etc. That was the experience I was after. I am not against an EV that can drive like a Z06( fast, handles, great steering, etc) though. Great to have options and experiences.

But for a daily driver and maximizing fuel/cost savings, etc like Civic vs Model 3, I will take the Model 3.

I never even considered the 1.5L when was looking at buying an Equinox. The power to weight ratio was similar to the 2012 Malibu I was trading in and I was looking for better performance. Dropping the optional engine for the Equinox was a stupid move by GM. Not a single review of that car by any source has ever had a good thing to say about the 1.5L engine's performance.
