GM electric car owners can enjoy Tesla’s Supercharger service, but there is a catch

Tesla Superchargers will become even busier as General Motors electric vehicles join them one after another. Customers must purchase a $225 adapter and use its app to initiate and pay for charging. GM has confirmed that a native NACS port will be coming next year. Tesla's Supercharger network is known for its size and reliability, and now it's opening up to thousands of GM's electric vehicles. This is big news because it will provide customers with access to more than 17,800 Supercharger stations, helping to eliminate one of the biggest barriers - finding reliable fast-charging stations across the country. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Unfortunately, this isn't free, as customers will need to get a GM-approved NACS DC adapter. While Ford is offering the adapter for free until September 30, their Detroit rivals are charging $225 for it. MORE: GM and Ford team up…

How to meet the demand for electric vehicle charging after Tesla Supercharger

Federal funding aims to develop electric vehicle infrastructure The Inflation Reduction Act, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, and the bipartisan infrastructure law are designed to close loopholes that have prevented the normalization of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. The United States and the rest of the world must make progress on charger installation. If they don’t, carbon emissions from internal combustion engines will continue to plague the transportation sector’s carbon footprint. Tesla has tried to boost its brand and help solve the problem by opening its network to all brands, but recent stagnation in growth has raised concerns among the company and consumers. Why is there an economic slowdown? Tesla's charging network is the benchmark Tesla is the biggest name in electric vehicles and is ready to shoulder the same charger burden. Fired most of the Supercharger team members After a lackluster quarter, the company is set to go public in April 2024. The layoffs are…

Honda sued over brake system
Honda sued over brake system

The lawsuit involves the Honda Civic, Honda Ridgeline, Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, and Acura MDX. September 11, 2024 — Honda recalled about 124,000 vehicles to fix brake system problems, sparking a class-action lawsuit. The Honda class action lawsuit includes: “Anyone who purchased or leased a 2020-2021 Honda Civic, 2020-2023 Honda Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Honda Passport, 2021-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicle in the United States.” Honda issued a recall in July 2023 due to a possible fault in the tie rod fastener that connects the brake booster to the master cylinder. The issue could cause the brake master cylinder to separate from the booster assembly. When Honda announced the recall of 124,000 vehicles in 2023, two warranty claims had been filed, but no accidents or injuries had been reported. In addition, Honda told the government that 1% of the recalled vehicles may be affected by the braking problem. Honda Class Action Lawsuit – Plaintiff South Carolina Honda owner Shavonne…
