General Motors is now offering adapters to help its electric vehicle owners access Tesla chargers. The automaker said Wednesday that it is opening up access to more than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers for its customers,

After a delay of several months, General Motors said owners of its battery-powered models would now be able to use Tesla charging stations with adapters.

EVs can burn for days, firefighters have little or no training to deal with them, and conventional equipment isn’t effective. But new technology is being developed that should make all the difference.

Previously, GM electric vehicles weren’t compatible with Tesla Superchargers, as they were outfitted with a different proprietary charging port. Those who own these EVs can purchase an adapter for $225 using your vehicle brand’s mobile app. The app can also help owners locate the closest Supercharger station.

General Motors is only the third company to get access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network as a flood of announcements gave way to slow adoption.

People who drive electric Chevys, Cadillacs, and GMCs will now be able to plug in at Tesla’s chargers using adapters — but they’ll have to pay for them.

Hoping to spark higher EV sales, General Motors Co. is offering owners adapters to access the Tesla Supercharger network.
