Starting today, September 18, General Motors’ electric vehicles will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network for the first time. Last June, GM signed a deal with Tesla to allow its customers to use about 17,800 Tesla Supercharger stations in North America, following a similar agreement between rival Ford and Tesla.

GM’s electric vehicles, including the best-selling Chevrolet Bolt and recent Ultium-based electric vehicles from Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC, will require an adapter to connect Tesla’s J3400 (formerly NACS) plug to their CCS1 charging port.


The adapter is sold separately for $225 (IT Home Note: Currently about 1,597 yuan) and can be purchased through the electric vehicle’s smartphone app. Drivers will also need to use the app to find the location of the Supercharger and pay for the charging.


Meanwhile, GM will begin producing electric vehicles with built-in J3400 ports starting next year.

With the addition of Tesla’s Supercharger network, GM customers will have access to more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC fast-charging stations across North America, a number that will continue to grow.
