GM Joins Ford In Using Tesla Superchargers
reports that GM will begin installing the NACS charging port used by Tesla instead of the current industry-standard CCS charging port in its EVs starting in 2025. With Ford and GM now solidly in the NACS camp, that will put pressure on other EV manufacturers like Stellantis, Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Hyundai, Kia, and others to adopt the Tesla technology in North America.
The federal program is built around the CCS-1 charging standard that is commonly used today in America by Electrify America, ChargePoint, EVgo, Blink, and most other charging companies. The sudden switch by Ford and GM to the NACS standard will almost certainly lead to some serious rethinking of the federal program.
A few weeks ago, when Ford announced its own partnership with Tesla, GM was working with SAE International to develop and refine an open connector standard for CCS-1 charging. GM CEO Mary Barra said at the time, “I think we have a real opportunity here to really drive this to be the unified standard for North America, which I think will even enable more mass adoption, so I couldn’t be more excited.
It was also surprising that Mary Barra chose to use Twitter Spaces to make the announcement. Barra has not used Twitter since last October 27, the day that Elon Musk officially became the new owner of the company. GM also discontinued all advertising on the platform at the time. A GM spokesperson said Thursday its brands and some executives continue to use Twitter but that the company has not resumed any advertising on the social media platform.
