- EV drivers will be able to use GM vehicle brand apps to
purchase a GM approved NACS DC adapter, as well as find, charge,
and pay for sessions
- GM EV customers will ultimately have access to more than
231,800 public Level 2 and DC fast chargers and growing throughout
the United States and Canada
DETROIT, Sept. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, General Motors
(NYSE: GM) will open up access to more than 17,800 Tesla
Superchargers for its customers, with the use of a GM approved NACS
DC adapter, a move that will help accelerate fast and convenient
charging options for current and future EV drivers.
With the addition of the Tesla Supercharger Network, GM
customers will have access to more than 231,800 public Level 2 and
DC fast chargers in North America
– a number which will grow as GM continues to help accelerate the
deployment of infrastructure in communities and heavily-traveled
corridors through its various charging collaborations. GM approved
NACS DC adapters will first be made available to customers in
the United States, followed by
availability for Canadian customers later this year.
"GM's ongoing efforts to help accelerate the expansion of public
charging infrastructure is an integral part of our commitment to an
all-electric future," said Wade
Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy. "Enabling access to
even more publicly available fast chargers represents yet another
way GM is focused on further improving the customer experience and
making the transition to electric more seamless."
To access the Tesla Supercharger Network, U.S. customers will be
able to purchase a GM approved NACS DC adapter through GM vehicle
brand mobile apps for an MSRP of $225
USD. Customers will be able to also use the same apps to
seamlessly locate available Tesla Superchargers, check station
status, initiate a charge, and pay for charging sessions.
To help ensure a positive customer experience, GM plans on
leveraging multiple suppliers to produce approved NACS DC adapters.
Each adapter has been developed to ensure customers can charge
their GM EVs at chargers that utilize the North American Charging
Standard.
Additional information about GM's efforts to accelerate
accessible public charging options is available on GM's public
charging webpage.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements This
communication and related comments by management, may include
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal
securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements
other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking
statements represent our current judgment about possible future
events and are often identified by words like "aim," "anticipate,"
"appears," "approximately," "believe," "continue," "could,"
"designed," "effect," "estimate," "evaluate," "expect," "forecast,"
"goal," "initiative," "intend," "may," "objective," "outlook,"
"plan," "potential," "priorities," "project," "pursue," "seek,"
"should," "target," "when," "will," "would," or the negative of any
of those words or similar expressions. In making these statements,
we rely on assumptions and analysis based on our experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected
future developments as well as other factors we consider
appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are
reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future
events or financial results, and our actual results may differ
materially due to a variety of important factors, many of which are
beyond our control. These factors, which may be revised or
supplemented in subsequent reports we file with the SEC, include,
among others, the following: (1) our ability to deliver new
products, services, technologies and customer experiences; (2) our
ability to timely fund and introduce new and improved vehicle
models; (3) our ability to profitably deliver a broad portfolio of
EVs; (4) the success of our current line of internal combustion
engine vehicles; (5) our highly competitive industry; (6) the
unique technological, operational, regulatory and competitive risks
related to the timing and commercialization of AVs, including the
various regulatory approvals and permits required for operating
driverless AVs in multiple markets; (7) risks associated with
climate change; (8) global automobile market sales volume; (9)
inflationary pressures, persistently high prices, uncertain
availability of raw materials and commodities, and instability in
logistics and related costs; (10) our business in China, which is subject to unique operational,
competitive, regulatory and economic risks; (11) the success of our
ongoing strategic business relationships and of our joint ventures;
(12) the international scale and footprint of our operations, which
exposes us to a variety of unique political, economic, competitive
and regulatory risks; (13) any significant disruption at any of our
manufacturing facilities; (14) the ability of our suppliers to
deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at
such times to allow us to meet production schedules; (15)
pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks and other public health
crises; (16) the possibility that competitors may independently
develop products and services similar to ours, or that our
intellectual property rights are not sufficient to prevent
competitors from developing or selling those products or services;
(17) our ability to manage risks related to security breaches and
other disruptions to our information technology systems and
networked products; (18) our ability to comply with increasingly
complex, restrictive and punitive regulations relating to our
enterprise data practices; (19) our ability to comply with
extensive laws, regulations and policies applicable to our
operations and products, including those relating to fuel economy,
emissions and AVs; (20) costs and risks associated with litigation
and government investigations; (21) the costs and effect on our
reputation of product safety recalls and alleged
defects in products and services; (22) any additional tax expense
or exposure or failure to fully realize available tax incentives;
(23) our continued ability to develop captive financing capability
through GM Financial; and (24) any significant increase in our
pension funding requirements. A further list and description of
these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in our
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent filings
with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to
update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or other
factors, except where we are expressly required to do so by
