General Motors will connect to 12,000 Tesla Superchargers to achieve charging network interconnection

According to news on June 9, General Motors and Tesla recently announced that they have reached an important agreement to jointly adopt Tesla’s North American charging standards, which will bring a more convenient charging experience to electric vehicle users.

GM’s electric vehicle customers will be able to connect directly to Tesla’s charging network to provide more charging options, as a result of an agreement between the two parties. Starting next year, Tesla will open a total of 12,000 super charging piles to General Motors customers. Existing GM owners will need to use an adapter to connect to Tesla's charging network because they use different charging ports. However, this agreement also stipulates that from 2025, electric vehicles produced by General Motors will be compatible with Tesla's charging interface, further improving user charging convenience.

General Motors CEO Mary Theresa Barra said that providing Tesla Supercharger service will accelerate the popularity of electric vehicles and that General Motors will consider using it in the future. Models are switching to Tesla charging interfaces, which will help push the industry toward a single North American charging standard. This cooperation is expected to bring economic benefits, allowing General Motors to save nearly $400 million (approximately 2.845 billion yuan) in expenses.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that consumers can buy Tesla or General Motors with confidence in the future because the cooperation between the two companies will bring better charging services to users.

The shares of Tesla and General Motors both rose more than 4% after the trading day after the news was announced. Tesla's stock price finally closed at $234.86 (approximately 1,670.39 yuan), up 4.58%. This was Tesla's tenth consecutive trading day of gains, setting a record for the longest consecutive rise since January 2021.

It was previously reported that Ford Motor Company had earlier reached an agreement with Tesla to allow its customers to use more than 12,000 Tesla Supercharger piles in the United States and Canada. The three major electric vehicle manufacturers in the North American market have agreed on charging hardware standards, marking an important step in the development of the electric vehicle industry.
