Competition for Tesla Owners as General Motors Gains Access to Supercharger Network

This week, General Motors updated its EVs to be compatible with Tesla’s supercharger network, including models like the Chevy Bolt and Cadillac Lyriq SUV. Tesla’s decision to open its network to other companies took effect in February 2024. This move may benefit GM drivers in rural areas with limited charging options but could lead to longer wait times for Tesla owners. While this decision is good for overall EV adoption, Tesla customers may face difficulties in charging their vehicles. The spread of EV charging infrastructure in North America may eliminate Tesla’s competitive edge over rivals. GM also announced delays in its electric vehicle plans.
