General Motors (NYSE:GM) CEO Mary Barra held a meeting with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk where the two confirmed a collaboration to integrate the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector design into its EVs beginning in 2025. Barra also announced that GM customers will have access to an adapter that will allow users to access Tesla chargers starting early next spring.
“In order to drive EV adoption, we need to have a robust charging infrastructure,” said Barra.
“I want to emphasize that you have our full support and we’re incredibly excited to partner with you on this,” responded Musk. He added that Tesla wants to “make it a fantastic electric vehicle experience, whether somebody is driving a car from GM or Tesla.”
The partnership enhances the accessibility of chargers for GM EV drivers by incorporating the extensive network of Tesla Superchargers, currently numbering 12,000 and expanding, across North America. This collaboration complements GM’s continuous efforts to invest in charging infrastructure, reinforcing their commitment to broadening charging accessibility in residential, commercial, and public areas. Moreover, it builds upon the existing 134,000 chargers already accessible to GM EV drivers through the Ultium Charge 360 initiative and mobile applications.
«Our vision of the all-electric future means producing millions of world-class EVs across categories and price points, while creating an ecosystem that will accelerate mass EV adoption,» said GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. «This collaboration is a key part of our strategy and an important next step in quickly expanding access to fast chargers for our customers. Not only will it help make the transition to electric vehicles more seamless for our customers, but it could help move the industry toward a single North American charging standard.»
