GM becomes the third automaker with access, but with almost a dozen different cars under three brands, this almost triples the number of non-Tesla car models that will use the Superchargers
After months of delay, General Motors says that starting Wednesday its electric vehicle owners in Canada and the U.S. now have access to high-speed charging on Tesla ’s vaunted Supercharger network, which is generally acknowledged by EV owners and enthusiasts as the most reliable, extensive and easy-to-use DC charging network in North America.
There have been production and distribution delays on factory adapters for Ford and EV startup Rivian, the first two companies with access to most of Tesla’s Supercharger network. Some EV drivers have gone outside auto manufacturer circles and purchased aftermarket charging adapters available quicker online, in particular by companies such as A2Z EV and Lectron.
GM says it will “begin opening up access to over 17,800 Tesla Superchargers” starting Wednesday, while Tesla’s consumer site currently notes more than 15,000 stalls are currently available for NACS charging. Earlier V1 and V2 Tesla Superchargers are not compatible with the North American Charging Standard , while Tesla likely will maintain exclusive access to some busy V3 stations, as it has done so far with Ford and Rivian.
Owners with any of these GM brand apps, once updated, will be able to find and pay for Tesla Supercharging on their Chevrolet, GMC or Cadillac app, or on the Tesla app. GM is hoping that its customers will use its own apps, which the company has developed to help find charging stations – whether Tesla or other DC quick chargers – and to plan routes that will be able to combine any kind of compatible quick charger.
GM’s BEV drivers were originally promised Supercharger access in the spring, after Ford began offering it in late February, and Rivian weeks later.
