General Motors offers adapters to help customers use the Tesla Supercharger network
General Motors (NYSE:GM) opened up access to more than 17,800 Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Superchargers for its customers, with the use of a company-approved NACS DC adapter. The move is seen as helping to accelerate fast and convenient charging options for current and future EV drivers.
With the addition of the Tesla Supercharger Network, GM customers will have access to more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC fast chargers in North America. That number will grow as GM (GM) continues to help accelerate the deployment of infrastructure in communities and heavily traveled corridors through its various charging collaborations.
To access the Tesla Supercharger Network, U.S. customers will be able to purchase a GM approved NACS DC adapter through GM vehicle brand mobile apps for an MSRP of $225. Customers will be able to use the same apps to locate available Tesla Superchargers, check station status, initiate a charge, and pay for charging sessions.
GM-approved NACS DC adapters will first be made available to customers in the United States, followed by availability for Canadian customers later this year.
“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,” stated GM Energy executive Wade Sheffer.
Shares of GM trickled 0.25% higher in premarket trading, while Tesla (TSLA) was up 0.67%.
