GM Supercharges Flexibility with New EV Adapter Lineup

GM Supercharges Flexibility with New EV Adapter Lineup

Plug Into the Future: GM Expands Charging Options

As the EV world shifts toward Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS), GM is stepping up to make the transition smooth for drivers. This week, the automaker introduced three new charging adapters, designed to ensure that no matter where you charge, you’re covered.

Whether you’re at home, on the road, or somewhere in between, these new tools promise more compatibility and less hassle for all GM EV owners.

Why Adapters Matter Now

Back in 2023, GM committed to adopting NACS across its electric lineup. That meant building future models with NACS ports and offering adapters for existing ones. It’s a smart move—Tesla’s Supercharger network is the most robust in the U.S., and tapping into it is a major win for non-Tesla drivers.

But since not all GM EVs have NACS ports yet, adapters are key during this transition.

What’s New in the Adapter Lineup

The latest additions include:

  • NACS-to-J1772 – For Level 2 home or public charging
  • J1772-to-NACS – Great for new EVs with native NACS ports
  • CCS-to-NACS – Keeps fast charging accessible on the go

These expand GM’s already available adapter options, helping drivers stay flexible no matter which plug is available.

More EVs with NACS on the Way

Several automakers are rolling out native NACS ports, including Hyundai, Kia, and Rivian. GM joins the list soon—the Cadillac Optiq-V will be GM’s first model with a built-in NACS port, arriving later this year. The 2027 Chevy Bolt will follow suit.

Until then, these adapters are a bridge to a more unified EV charging future.

EV Charging, Made Simple

Charging should be easy—and GM’s adapter strategy is a major step toward that. As the industry moves to a single standard, these new tools make EV ownership more accessible and convenient than ever.
