General Motors announced it is opening up access to more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers for its users beginning in September 2024.

Using a GM-approved NACS DC adapter, GM electric vehicle (EV) drivers will have access to more than 231,800 Level 2 and DC fast chargers in North America with the addition of the Tesla Supercharger Network.

GM projects charger numbers will continue growing as it helps accelerate infrastructure deployment in communities and heavily traveled corridors through its various charging collaborations.

"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," Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, said.

"Enabling access to even more publicly available fast chargers represents yet another way GM is focused on further improving the customer experience and making the transition to electric more seamless," Sheffer continued.

Through the joint venture IONNA, GM aims to install more than 30,000 chargers in urban and highway locations throughout the U.S. With Pilot Travel Centers and EVgo, GM is building 2,000 DC fast chargers at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel for EV drivers and fleets traveling long distances.

NACS Adapters Available for Purchase

GM-approved NACS DC adapters will first be made available to users in the U.S., followed by availability for Canadian users later this year.

To access the Tesla Supercharger Network, U.S. customers can purchase a GM-approved NACS DC adapter through GM vehicle brand mobile apps for an MSRP of $225. Customers can also use the same apps to locate available Tesla Superchargers, check station status, initiate a charge, and pay for charging sessions.

To help ensure a positive customer experience, GM plans to leverage multiple suppliers to produce approved NACS DC adapters. Each adapter has been developed so customers can charge their GM EVs at chargers that use the North American Charging Standard.
