Global auto-manufacturing giant General Motors (GM) has announced it will be opening up access to more then 17,800 Tesla Superchargers for its customers with the use of adapters.
Customers driving a GM electric vehicle (EV) – including electric Chevys, Cadiallacs and GMCs – will now be able to plug in at Tesla’s chargers using a GM-approved NACS DC adapter.
This move will allow GM EV drivers to have access to more than 231,800 public fast chargers in North America. The adapters will first be made available to customers in the U.S., then Canada.
To access the Tesla Supercharger Network, U.S. customers will be able to purchase an adapter through GM mobile apps for $225 USD. Customers will also be able to also use the same apps to locate available Tesla Superchargers, check station status, initiate a charge, and pay for charging sessions.
However, Tesla has said that non-Tesla owners would have to pay extra payment to charge their vehicles compared to Tesla owners.
Following GM, Tesla has said that it will co-ordinate next with Volvo, Polestar, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz to also grant their customers access to Superchargers, according to The Verge.
Additional information about how to purchase and use the adapters and GM’s public charging options is available on the company’s public charging webpage.
