TESLA SUPERCHARGERS OPEN TO GM VEHICLES, ELECTRIC SEMI TRUCK CORRIDOR ANNOUNCED

EV Channels Review

This episode of Batteries Included dives into the significant news of Tesla Superchargers opening to General Motors EVs. Host Martin Lee and Senior Editor Tom Mogy discuss the implications, including the $225 adapter cost for GM owners, a price point Mogy finds acceptable, contrasting it with free adapters that led to shortages for Ford and Rivian. Mogy shares his exclusive early access experience, highlighting a hiccup with incorrect information from GM regarding Bolt EV compatibility, which was later clarified to affect only specific model years. The discussion also touches on the manual charging activation required for GM vehicles, unlike Tesla's plug-and-charge, and the potential for Tesla to approve extension cables for non-Tesla vehicles to alleviate Supercharger congestion as more brands gain access. Additionally, the show briefly covers the Alpitronic US headquarters opening and Terawatt's semi-truck charging corridor announcement.
