As part of our commitment to driving the future forward, GM is in the process of integrating the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and is introducing NACS DC Adapters for GM EVs with a CCS inlet. This will give GM EV customers access to 17,800+ Tesla Superchargers, making it easier than ever for EV drivers to put their charging worries aside.

A NACS DC Adapter allows for an EV with a CCS inlet to plug into any NACS DC fast charger, including the Tesla Supercharger Network. All current GM EV owners have a CCS inlet, requiring a GM-approved NACS DC Adapter to charge on the Tesla Supercharger Network.

Customers can purchase the NACS DC Adapter, locate Tesla Superchargers and pay for charging, all in the Vehicle Mobile App. *The integrated mobile experience has everything customers need to charge.

Commonly Asked Questions About the NACS DC Adapter

How is GM continuing to build a charging ecosystem?

We understand that delivering great EV products isn’t enough; if you truly want to move the industry to an all-electric future, you must invest in the ecosystem that supports adoption, like EV charging. We’ve done that for years, and this integration with the Tesla Supercharger Network aligns perfectly with our philosophy at GM.

What are the benefits of the Vehicle Mobile App?*

GM recommends the Vehicle Mobile App* for convenient integration with your GM vehicle. Using the Vehicle Mobile App,* GM EV customers can easily find, charge, and pay at select Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. Customers can locate compatible charging stations, initiate or end a charging session via the Vehicle Mobile App,* and pay for their session, all in one easy-to-use app.

Why must a payment method be saved to order a NACS DC Adapter?

The Tesla Supercharger Network requires a mobile app to access and initiate a charging session because there are no payment functions on the charger. It is important for a customer to understand the requirement of saving a payment method within the app in order to access and charge on the Tesla Supercharger Network. Once they have created an account, they can order a NACS DC Adapter.
