    Tesla Supercharger access now open for Hummer EV drivers

      After being delayed in May, SuperCharger access for Hummer EVs is now open.

    GMC Hummer EV drivers can now charge their gargantuan EVs on Tesla Superchargers, according to an announcement on GMC's website. Enabling Supercharging requires an update to the myGMC app; however, users can use the Tesla app and register temporarily as a Rivian R1S until the app update completes. Drivers who expect to use the Tesla Superchargers network regularly may wish to sign up for a $12.99 subscription through the Tesla app, which grants a 10c/kWh discount.  With a 200 kWh battery, just two charges from 20% - 80% per month would cover the membership fee.

    The myGMC app will also allow owners to purchase an official NACS to CCS adaptor.  While third-party NACS to CCS adapters are available for purchase, they are not officially approved for use on Tesla's network.

    With this change, GMC says that Hummer EV drivers now have access to approximately 195,000 charge points across North America.  Most Tesla Superchargers are of the 250kw variety, and while not specified in GMC's announcement, we suspect that the Hummer EV is not eligible to charge on the 150kw chargers, much like the Ford EVs, which cite the same 15,000 number for eligible Superchargers.  Limited to 250kw charging speeds, Hummer EV drivers may wish to limit the use of Tesla stations to a last resort while traveling as they will not reach the full 350kw charging speeds their vehicle is capable of. GM has also partnered with Flying-J / Pilot to offer 350kw charging at truck stops nationwide and is a founding member of the new IONNA Network that will offer both CCS and NACS charging without an adaptor.

    There is no announcement yet on Tesla Supercharger Access for their other EVs. 

    Drivers can identify 250kw chargers by the black collar at the end of the charging cable.

    UPDATE: It appears that GMC might have leaked this information early.  The language on the website announcing Supercharger access has been removed. Via the Wayback Machine, the language on GMC's website as of July 15th said:

    GMC customers now have access to 15,000+ Tesla Supercharger locations across North America. Download the myGMC mobile app* to activate Tesla Supercharger Access, purchase a NACS DC adapter, and enjoy expanded fast charging options.

    I am surprised that GMC is making these owners buy their adapter, but then I guess if you can afford to pay $150,000 for an EV, you can afford the price of the adapter. 

    @Drew Dowdell Does GMC say what the cost of the adapter is?

    It appears that GMC may have accidentally leaked this information early.  See my update in the article.

    Yeah, it appears that the Hummer VINs are in the Tesla system and if you use the Tesla App to charge by saying it’s a Rivian, it will work, but this was a premature leak on the GMC website at the time I posted the article.

      There's no point in trying to convince you of anything. You have you opinion. That's good. I'm okay with that.

      No. He had a gross misunderstanding, intentional or not, of what DEI is. The rest of that quote does not improve the context. He said he specifically questioned the pilot's competence because of skin color. Just like he questioned Justice Jackson's abilities to be a supreme court justice.  Direct quote:  Kirk then played a clip of Jackson Lee speaking in Congress, saying she had been admitted to educational institutions on affirmative action. Kirk then went on to make his point again: That's not how Affirmative Action worked. It didn't take spots away from those more deserving, it took slots away from the mediocre old-white-boys club who only would have gotten in because they're a legacy.  A black pilot is a pilot because he completed all the required training, not because of some quota. DEI DOESN'T HAVE QUOTAS. DEI is just about making sure that anyone qualified is able to apply and potentially win the position regardless of gender, sex, race, religion, sexuality, etc.  So to wonder if United/Delta/American put a black pilot in the driver seat just because he was black and they needed to meet a quota is just plain racist. There's a pilot shortage anyway, so anyone who is white and qualified is going to be able to find a job if they want one. No. That's a cop-out "Well I don't agree with everything Mussolini did, but at least he made the trains run on time."  Don't say you agree with some of the things a nazi says without being able to very strongly qualify it.  He was a bigot against race, sexuality, gender, women, and more.  So unless its "Well I agree with him that the sky is blue", you're probably better off just not agreeing with him on anything.

      I guess i didn't take it that way, but I could see how one would. I understand your point here.    Are they independents? If so, they'd have my vote, too.

      That's not what I meant - his white picket fence rhetoric isn't necessarily about candidates, but just about what the highest collective tier of "shoulds" in society are.  He said he liked LDS folks and how they align with what he thinks.  They spell it out fairly clearly that eternal blessings in the afterlife are achieved by having children through a temple sealed marriage and that's just another one of those "shoulds." That, too, is not for everyone and also judgmental.  Kirk's delivery had a great deal of snideness in it.  I went back and checked out 5 to 10 vids.   I'm not a liberal, but I know what's right.  And, comparatively speaking, we should all kiss the ground if elected Republicans in office were more like Liz Cheney and Kinzinger who have been sidelined.  They'd get my vote.

      No, it wasn't. It was about putting the best candidate in place rather than somebody just because of their skin color.  i certainly don't want some white person to get a job just because they're white. The best qualified person should get the job.
