    Good to know that the tantrum only slowed things down, and didn’t stop it. Hopefully we’re next.

    Order your converter through the Cadillac app!
    Good luck with the wait.

    Good news for EV owners and future adoption in general.

    Of course anybody who didn’t or won’t buy a Tesla on principle because Tesla/Elon are awful and “I never want to put a penny/pound/dime/dollar/cent in that terrible man’s pocket” sadly will not be able to make use of the SC network going forward. I do admire them there principles though.

    I was exited for this until they mentioned the adapter price (meh) and the fact that you have to use the My Chevrolet app (hell no), completely lost interest.

    Will the Acura ZDX be supported (since it’s a fancy Blazer EV)?

    Honestly a game changer. We did our first road trip and had no issues with EA or ChargePoint. But we passed a ton of superchargers along the way and it would turn a roadtrip into something I didn’t have to plan for.

    I want to go over to r/shittymoviedetails to point out that the way the Lyriq is parked in the press image makes one of the two chargers in between it and the Escalade IQ useless.

    Looking forward for when it’ll be Hyundai turn!

    Why are people excited? Shouldn’t they been embarrassed for using Tesla Superchargers?

    After all, one of the top upvoted post this past year here is about how Californias are “embarrassed” driving Teslas. If that’s the case then why aren’t people embrassed about using Tesla Superchargers?

    The article states Bolt owners need to drive into a dealer to get a software update to use the adapter. I’ve been able to use Tesla chargers through Magic Dock for my ’23 EUV. Does anyone know if I would still need to get that update if I get the portable adapter?

    The Silverado EV in 400V mode will be a charging monster, probably holding through 70% at 200kW or higher, unless there’s a charger limitation.

  12. meshreplacer

    They should. If Tesla gets taxpayer money they need to open to all brands. Imagine having gas stations that only allow GM but not Ford.

    And the GM adapter is $225 from GM. If you use a 3rd party, it voids your warranty.

    Good for everyone! 

    Next order of business is for everyone to discuss which corner the charge port goes on…

    >Chevy Bolt owners will need to visit their dealers for a software update to enable Supercharger access.

    Bummer. I wonder what that will cost.

    Great news. I’ll be curious to see if bolts having access to the SC network bogs it down in any way. I don’t think it will, with most SC sites having at least 8-12 stalls but if there was ever going to be a problem it would be with 50kw charging vehicles.

  17. duke_of_alinor

    GM still holding back, no plug&charge.

  18. rademradem

    Since GM vehicles are enabled but are not plug and charge, you can possibly now charge at Tesla V3 and higher superchargers with any non-authorized vehicle by spoofing that it is a GM vehicle in the Tesla app. Has anyone attempted this yet?

  19. vinotauro

    This is awesome, hopefully it means the expansion of charging sites with more stalls (my local one has only eight and is almost always full)

  20. Jackwilliamsiv

    Does anyone know what the charging speed difference would be between the Tesla stations and a regular ev charger station?

  21. NightOfTheLivingHam

    Does this apply to the Honda Prologue too? Which is basically a rebadged equinox EV?

    Ordered my adaptor today! It’s backordered so not sure when they are shipping them, but activated my account with Tesla and should be good to go.
