GM JOINS FORD ON THE TESLA SUPERCHARGER & NACS BANDWAGON!

EV Channels Review

GM has officially announced its adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and access to Tesla's Supercharger network, mirroring Ford's earlier move. Starting in 2024, GM vehicles will utilize adapters for Supercharger access, with NACS ports integrated into new vehicles from 2025. The hosts express excitement about this development, particularly for future models like the Equinox, which is positioned as a more affordable EV. While acknowledging potential concerns about Elon Musk's influence and the transition away from CCS, the primary focus is on the increased accessibility and convenience this offers EV owners. The review also touches upon the ongoing challenges with charging infrastructure reliability, the potential for increased competition to drive improvements in networks like Electrify America, and the critical need for greater accessibility for individuals with physical disabilities and those who are unbanked.
