Expanding access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure: 17,800 Tesla superchargers made available for use by General Motors EV drivers.
In a recent statement, Wade Sheffer, Vice President of GM Energy, announced General Motors' commitment to an all-electric future. Sheffer highlighted the company's efforts to expand public charging infrastructure as a key part of this commitment.
However, it's worth noting that Wade Sheffer does not have a publicly listed vice president role at GM Energy. It's unclear if he was speaking in an official capacity or as a representative of the company.
One of the ways GM is focusing on improving the customer experience in the transition to electric vehicles is by expanding access to the Tesla Supercharger Network. This move will provide General Motors' customers with access to over 17,800 Tesla Superchargers across North America.
This addition will significantly increase the number of publicly available fast chargers for GM customers, making the transition to electric vehicles more seamless.
In addition to the Tesla Supercharger Network, GM also plans on using multiple suppliers to produce approved NACS DC adapters. These adapters, designed for compatibility with North American Charging Standard chargers, will be made available to US customers first, with availability for Canadian customers later this year.
Each adapter, priced at $225, can be purchased by US customers through GM vehicle brand mobile apps. These apps will allow customers to locate, check status, initiate, and pay for charging sessions at Tesla Superchargers.
With these developments, General Motors is set to provide its customers with access to over 231,800 public Level 2 and DC fast chargers in North America. This expansion is a testament to the company's commitment to electromobility and its efforts to make the transition to electric vehicles more accessible for its customers.
