    GM Officially Opens Access to Tesla Superchargers Today

      After being delayed due to issues at Tesla, GM officially opened the charge port door of its EVs to Tesla Superchargers

    Starting today, owners of General Motors EVs will be able to charge at more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers when using a GM approved NACS charging adaptor.  The adaptors are available for purchase through the branded mobile app for $225 USD.  That same app will also allow for seamless location of Tesla Superchargers, location status, and initiate and pay for charging sessions.

    Earlier this summer, we reported that Hummer EVs had access to Tesla Supercharging when a change appeared on the GMC website. Several Hummer EV owners reported being able to charge at Superchargers by adding a Rivian R1T to the Tesla App and using a Rivian or Ford NACS adaptor, meaning that their vehicles VIN had been whitelisted on the Tesla network in preparation for rollout.  A few days later, the website was rolled back, and the language scrubbed as there was an apparent delay. 

    As GM and Tesla complete this project, GM EV drivers will be able to access more than 231,800 public Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers in North America. This number will increase as GM's investment in the new IONNA Charging Network and the GM Energy Network at Flying J and Pilot locations continues.

    GM is STUPID, they should be giving the adapter to the EV customers for free, not charging $225.00.

    Especially considering how many 3rd party adapters are available much cheaper, yes Tesla is making these for the OEMs, but considering that Lectron has a blessed adapter that is cheaper anywhere from $150 to $200 online, it is crazy of GM to charge their early adopters.

    I am very happy with the new EVgo Stations that are starting to open much like a regular gas station. Very cool.

    Ultimately, I think this is the way the industry will go. Rivian and Ford initially gave theirs for free, but now Ford charges for them.  Also, remember that for Tesla access, those adapters won't be needed for future model years, and they'll need to produce adaptors going in the other direction.

    • This is very cool and exciting technology Solid-state battery with 1,070 Wh/L energy to be game-changer for EVs (interestingengineering.com)  
    • I'm not much a fan of casinos either. Buuuuuut, I do enjoy sports betting. 
    • It has more to do with the fact that BMW chooses to make its saddles out of cement, so much so that an entire cottage industry has cropped up to address the issue with more comfortable foam. That said, I’m not willing at this time to spend $800 for a new saddle.   Did a valve adjustment. I also replaced the valve covers, valve cover gaskets, and spark plug covers. It looks like I should probably do spark plug wires, but it’s not yet urgent.   I think these plugs, like the battery was, are original. The bike is 25 years old and has 108k miles.   Ready for a test ride, it got its first drink in who knows how many years. Ran perfect for the 6 mile trip. Once I get it home from Costco, I’ll let it cool 20 minutes and then change the oil, transmission oil, and rear drive oil. The oils in these is thick and needs to be warmed up to drain properly.
