DETROIT (AP). -- General Motors' electric vehicles will have access to a large portion of Tesla’s charging network starting early next year, according to an agreement announced by the two companies on Thursday.
GM will also adopt the Tesla connector, which is a plug that connects an electric car to a charging station.
GM and Ford are both converting their electric vehicles to be compatible with around 12,000 of Tesla’s 17,000 chargers. Both Detroit automakers also want to make Tesla’s connector industry standard. Barra and Musk announced the news during a Twitter Spaces discussion.
The discussion took place two weeks after Ford's CEO Jim Farley announced alongside Musk that Ford's electrified vehicles would have access to a large portion of Tesla's largest EV-charging system in the country. Farley said Ford would use Tesla's charging connector instead of a different connector used by other industries.
