The announcement comes more than 15 months after GM first announced it would adopt Tesla's EV charging plug for its vehicles, highlighting delays due to production bottlenecks and layoffs at Tesla.
GM celebrated the news, noting that its customers will now have access to 17,800 Tesla Supercharger plugs for the first time, addressing a key obstacle in the transition to electric vehicles.
Owners of electric Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC vehicles will need to purchase 'GM approved' Tesla adapters through each brand's smartphone app for $225, enabling immediate access to Tesla's network.
In the wake of Ford's adoption last year, almost every major automaker has committed to the SAE J3400 fast charging plug, ensuring compatibility across multiple brands' vehicles.
