Under the settlement GM automobile house owners can have entry to Tesla’s 12,000 “superchargers”
Tesla will open its North American electrical automobile charging community to vehicles from rival General Motors starting in 2024, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and GM Chief Mary Barra introduced Thursday.
Under the settlement — which has similarities to a collaboration unveiled final month between Ford and Tesla — GM automobile house owners can have entry to Tesla’s 12,000 “superchargers,” said a GM news release.
The Tesla network will initially require an adaptor for GM cars in 2024. But beginning in 2025, GM vehicles will be built with direct access to the Tesla system without an adaptor, GM said.
Barra, who appeared with Musk for a six-minute conversation on Twitter Spaces, alluded to consumer concerns about being stranded without access to chargers.
“This gives us a huge opportunity to do something that’s better for customers and to drive the standard,” Barra mentioned.
Musk mentioned he was “extremely excited” to partner with GM. “It’s just really making a fantastic electric vehicle experience whether somebody is driving a car from GM or from Tesla.”
Musk in February pledged to make Tesla’s US charging community obtainable to different electrical automobile manufacturers following White House negotiations.
Tesla agreed to make a minimum of 7,500 chargers nationwide open to non-Tesla EVs by the tip of 2024.
