Reply To: EV Charging at Some Tesla Sites of GM Vehicles

I ordered a GM NACS adapter using the My Chevrolet app and received it in a week. I tested it today and there are some issues.
1. The Superstation cord is short, and I had to pull to within 6″ of the station structure to make it reach.
2. Once connected I was only getting a 29kw charging rate, which is about a 5th the rate of a EVGo 350kw stations.
I don’t know if the slower rate is due to the adapter or if Tesla stations recognize a non-Tesla vehicle and cut back on the rate of charge. I will keep it as an emergency backup but will not be using it for my regular charging routine.
