      • Choose Public Charging Services from the options.

CAN I USE A TESLA SUPERCHARGER TO CHARGE MY GM VEHICLE?

Yes. As of September 2024, GM has adopted the North American Charging Standard. This means your GM electric vehicle will be able to access the Tesla Supercharger Network if you purchase a NACS DC adapter and set up public charging in the myCadillac mobile app.

CAN I USE THE TESLA SUPERCHARGER NETWORK FOR MY GM VEHICLE WITHOUT SELECTING A CHARGE PLAN IN THE MYCADILLAC MOBILE APP?

No. The Tesla Supercharger Network requires an app to start charging and pay for charging, since the charging stations don’t have card readers on them. You’ll need to use the myCadillac mobile app to enroll in public charging and save a valid payment plan. You’ll also need to order a NACS DC adapter for your vehicle.
