GM offering an approved NACS DC adapter for purchase through its apps
General Motors Co. said Wednesday it will offer access to more than 17,800 Tesla Inc. superchargers through a $225 NACS DC adapter that it has approved for use with its electric vehicles (EVs).
The move is part of an effort by the auto giant to provide access to more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC rapid chargers in the U.S. and Canada.
Tapping into the Tesla network will require the purchase of the NACS DC adapter through GM's apps.
The apps will also help customers find Tesla superchargers.
GM Energy Vice President Wade Sheffer said the move will "help accelerate the expansion of public charging infrastructure" as part of GM's "commitment to an all-electric future," according to a prepared statement.
GM's $(GM)$ stock was up 0.3% in premarket trading. Tesla's $(TSLA)$ stock was also up 0.3%.
