GM’s electric vehicles will gain access to Tesla’s vast charging network

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Electric vehicles made by General Motors will be able to use much of Tesla’s extensive charging network beginning early next year. Their discussion comes two weeks after Ford CEO Jim Farley joined Musk to announce that Ford’s electric vehicles would gain access to much of Tesla’s EV-charging network, the largest in the nation. “The most important thing is we advance the electric vehicle revolution.” Financial details of the agreement between the two companies were not released Thursday, but GM spokesman Darryll Harrison said GM isn’t paying Tesla. Barra said joining Tesla’s network would almost double the number of chargers available to GM electric vehicle owners. “We aren’t the only company that comes up with good ideas.” Mike Austin, an electric vehicles analyst for Guidehouse Insights, said GM joining the Tesla network is a huge step toward making Tesla’s connector the industrywide standard.
