    GM Officially Opens Access to Tesla Superchargers Today

      After being delayed due to issues at Tesla, GM officially opened the charge port door of its EVs to Tesla Superchargers

    Starting today, owners of General Motors EVs will be able to charge at more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers when using a GM approved NACS charging adaptor.  The adaptors are available for purchase through the branded mobile app for $225 USD.  That same app will also allow for seamless location of Tesla Superchargers, location status, and initiate and pay for charging sessions.

    Earlier this summer, we reported that Hummer EVs had access to Tesla Supercharging when a change appeared on the GMC website. Several Hummer EV owners reported being able to charge at Superchargers by adding a Rivian R1T to the Tesla App and using a Rivian or Ford NACS adaptor, meaning that their vehicles VIN had been whitelisted on the Tesla network in preparation for rollout.  A few days later, the website was rolled back, and the language scrubbed as there was an apparent delay. 

    As GM and Tesla complete this project, GM EV drivers will be able to access more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers in North America. This number will increase as GM's investment in the new IONNA Charging Network and the GM Energy Network at Flying J and Pilot locations continues.

    GM is STUPID, they should be giving the adapter to the EV customers for free, not charging $225.00.

    Especially considering how many 3rd party adapters are available much cheaper, yes Tesla is making these for the OEMs, but considering that Lectron has a blessed adapter that is cheaper anywhere from $150 to $200 online, it is crazy of GM to charge their early adopters.

    I am very happy with the new EVgo Stations that are starting to open much like a regular gas station. Very cool.

    Ultimately, I think this is the way the industry will go. Rivian and Ford initially gave theirs for free, but now Ford charges for them.  Also, remember that for Tesla access, those adapters won't be needed for future model years, and they'll need to produce adaptors going in the other direction.

    • Genesis wants soooo bad to be seen as European....   but yes, these are incredibly sexy.
    • These are SEXY cars that I could see myself driving. Being based on the G90 autos, that brings large interior spaces for large people. Should be exciting to see if they go from concept to production.
    • Today at the SEOUL Mobility 2025 Show Genesis revealed their X Gran Coupe and Convertible Concepts. Genesis stated this is another step in the future of the Luxury division towards redefining automotive luxury and performance. This New Era of Genesis is dedicated to their global customers in sharing their aspirations for Cars and SUVs.  Genesis focused on these two cars that they believe will deliver what people are wanting in a car for the launchpad of driving in a new decade as Genesis looks to release new models that embody their pursuit of high-performance technology and future luxury design. Genesis stated that these two concepts took inspiration from the greater Mediterranean area. Specifically, the coupe was inspired by the Mediterranean olive tree and the convertible by southern European wines. These Genesis concepts are additional interpretation of the G90 series of Luxury cars. The Coupe showcases the Genesis way of elegance with athleticism while the convertible showcases the freedom of expression with connection to the surrounding environment. The X Coupe and X Convertible Concepts are adorned with Genesis’ characteristic Two-Line headlights, which extend toward the iconic Genesis Crest Grille. The 3D grille meshes are inspired by woven metal strings arranged in diamond-shaped Two-Line patterns. The wide lower air intakes with sculpted grille meshes emphasize the sporty character of the vehicles, while the elongated hoods create a dynamic silhouette. The widened Two-Line headlights extend to the fenders, visually enhancing the increased track width. Side profiles and wheel designs were purpose built to enforce a muscular dramatic stance for these cars. Aesthetics was also not forgotten as Genesis took a high-tech approach with flush Genesis logos and hidden retractable cameras, touch-less operations such as the trunk. From the olive tree use of veneer wood accents to crystal accents that convene a captivating display of light to bring warmth into the interior cabin, these concepts were paired with soft materials using recovered materials including wastewater used in the tanning process of the leather seats that gives a natural olive oil scent for the Coupe and a natural Cabernet Sauvignon for the convertible. These G90 Concepts in lush colors contrast drastically with the recently shown G90 Sedan Black Edition. Motivation in both cars is from the current G90 Twin-Turbo V6 that produces 409 horsepower, 405 lb-ft of torque with a 48V electric supercharger.     View full article
