General Motors announced that every 2027 model-year EV from Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC will come with a native NACS port, allowing direct plug-in to Tesla Superchargers. This covers the entire lineup, including the upcoming Chevrolet Bolt and all Cadillac models. The 2026 Cadillac Optiq already made the switch.
The move standardizes the North American Charging Standard, also known as SAE J3400, across GM's future EVs. For years, GM used CCS1 ports, requiring adapters for Tesla Superchargers. The transition aligns with broader industry adoption of NACS.
The 2027 models include the Cadillac Escalade IQ, Lyriq, Optiq, Vistiq, plus Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Silverado EV, and GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV, among others. Most 2026 GM EVs still have CCS1 ports and need GM's $275 NACS adapter. GM also sells a CCS1 adapter for $189 and a J1772 adapter for $67.
Drivers of 2027 EVs will need a CCS1 adapter for older fast chargers and a J1772 adapter for most Level 2 home chargers. The switch simplifies access to more than 27,500 Tesla Superchargers, though some locations remain Tesla-only. This reduces charging friction for GM owners.
GM is also streamlining payment via its Energy Pass app, integrated into MyChevrolet, MyCadillac, and MyGMC. It supports Tesla Supercharger, IONNA, Electrify America, and ChargePoint, with EVgo coming soon. These networks cover nearly 70% of US DC fast chargers, according to GM.
Energy Pass includes Plug & Charge at compatible stations, already live at IONNA and expanding to Tesla Superchargers. The 2027 switch makes Tesla-style fast charging easier, but keeping adapters on hand remains prudent. GM's move signals the industry's full embrace of NACS as the common standard.
