GM to Equip All New EVs with Native NACS Ports by 2027
Summary
GM has confirmed that starting with the 2027 model year, all its new battery-electric vehicles will feature native Tesla NACS charging ports, eliminating the need for adapters on Supercharger networks. The upcoming Chevy Bolt, returning later this year, will be among the first models with this integrated design.
We still remember clearly how, in 2023, major US automakers one after another announced plans to adopt Tesla’s NACS charging plug. However, during the transition phase, manufacturers relied heavily on adapters. GM was no exception: since September 2024, GM customers have gained access to Tesla’s Supercharger network via an adapter.
There is, however, one exception: the Cadillac Optiq is currently the only GM model featuring a directly integrated NACS charging port. All other models still lack this feature. Nevertheless, GM has announced that, starting with the 2027 model year, all new BEVs will be equipped with the NACS plug. This includes the new Chevy Bolt, which is set to return later this year as a 2027 model.
However, it remains clear that, as charging stations in the US will continue to offer CCS connections for the foreseeable future, vehicles with native NACS ports will still occasionally require a CCS adapter.
