GM EV Drivers Can Now Access Over 17,800 Tesla Superchargers Across North America
General Motors (GM) is expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging options by providing access to over 17,800 Tesla Superchargers. This initiative, starting today, will be facilitated through a GM-approved NACS DC adapter. This move aims to enhance fast and convenient charging for both current and future EV users.
GM's customers will soon have access to more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC fast chargers across North America. This number is expected to grow as GM collaborates on infrastructure development in various communities and busy corridors. The NACS DC adapters will initially be available in the U.S., with Canadian availability later this year.
Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, stated, "GM’s ongoing efforts to help accelerate the expansion of public charging infrastructure is an integral part of our commitment to an all-electric future." He added that increasing access to fast chargers is part of improving customer experience and easing the transition to electric vehicles.
Customers in the U.S. can purchase the GM-approved NACS DC adapter through GM vehicle brand mobile apps for $225 USD. These apps also allow users to locate Tesla Superchargers, check their status, start a charge session, and pay for it seamlessly.
To ensure a positive experience for customers, GM plans to work with multiple suppliers for producing these adapters. Each adapter is designed so that GM EVs can charge at stations using the North American Charging Standard.
GM's strategy focuses on advancing an all-electric future that is inclusive and accessible. Their battery platform will power a range of vehicles from mass-market models to high-performance ones. More information about GM's initiatives can be found on their public charging webpage.
