Official U.S. Adapter link → OEM Supercharger Adapter (working as of 9/20/24)

If you live in Canada, please feel free to chime in with official links when available!

In Canada you need to call a Chevrolet dealer. I called my local dealer and they were taking orders for the "Tesla adapter" (that's how they're referring to it with the public). Similar to how I've ordered other parts with them, they just take the order and will call you back when they get the part. No payment taken.

Just a note though - they were very clear to indicate GM Canada has provided no ETA as to when the adapters will be delivered.

Yeah, this is kinda how it was with us in the U.S. some months back. This is why I will hold off on recommending this until we can confirm they can ship it this way. Keep us updated!

has anyone charged at a tesla station with only a credit card (ie. no tesla or chevy app)?

At a limited number of sites, you can pay directly at the Supercharger using a major credit card, a mobile payment service or text-to-pay.

are these stations as few as they make them sound on the website, or are they fairly common?

There's no credit card reader at Tesla superchargers. You need to use an app.

For anyone who receives a software update for their 2019 or 2020 Bolt EV to address the potential issue with error codes while using the Superchargers (i.e. @Belugadriver ) - can you please write down here the actual software update # that you got from the dealer? It should be printed in the service order.

For me, they were hiding additional plans further down the page. The ones you named were at the top of the page for me (the top appears to be bundles). Is this also the case for you?

The ones I listed are directly below my current plans, with links below that for details.

From Tesla support. I believe credit card readers only work on their latest V4 charger:
www.tesla.com/support/supercharging-other-evs#pay-supercharging

You can pay at any Supercharger using the Tesla app by adding a payment method to your Tesla Account. At a limited number of sites, you can pay directly at the Supercharger using a major credit card, a mobile payment service or text-to-pay.
To make a payment at the Supercharging post with a credit card, follow the Supercharging steps, plug in your vehicle and tap your credit card on the payment terminal.

And even that then appears to vary. I called my local dealer and they wanted pre-payment. No thanks. So I called my original dealer and now it's pre-ordered. So a little road trip when it arrives and I'll go and pay for it and take it away.

Edit: the following is no longer relevant.
Anybody know if I actually have to add all that identifiable information in the Tesla app to be able to charge? Seems rather onerous.

There are still very few of these. But I feel it is still worth mentioning them. Added to post.

Yes, mainly for billing purposes. And in case you ever buy anything else from them and have it shipped.

 

[dreamlessdeviation]

ok, good to know the latest V4 has them, which means there will be more, rather than fewer in the future. i'm probably gonna hold off on the adapter. i've been doing just fine w/out it.

1. i'm unwilling to download any apps to pay
2. i noticed tesla superchargers are p expensive $.50+

 

[shentges]

i check the tesla map, and it says open to nacs , or open to other ev's.
which should i be checking to use?
i assume the nacs one are the opened ones, but not sure.

Both is correct, you do need to change your vehicle setting to say yes you do have an adapter. After you do that all the available superchargers show up on the Tesla map

 

[shentges]

Ordered my adapter, naturally it is back ordered. Anyone hear how long it will be before they ship out?

 

[Bolt2019]

Yes, mainly for billing purposes. And in case you ever buy anything else from them and have it shipped.

Edit: see way down on page 4. tl;dr - yes I can add a card.
So I seem to be up on another hurdle that is likely insurmountable. I can't enter a non-US zip code credit card for the payment method. And I only have the 10 year "Connected Services" On* waste of time after the 5 year thing has now expired so I might be sol anyway. I'm not paying any dang subscription.
Name and address and credit card I'm fine with. It was all the car adding stuff that I balked at. At least I can enter some car details without all that info. I got a bit excited when I found an update to the app but no.
So none of this is working out for me. I'll likely be cancelling the order. No point having an adapter that I won't use for the sake of not paying a subscription.

@shentges : My Canadian dealer read something about Q4/'24.

Thats cheap compared to what Ive seen. Here, electricity is 8c/kwh at my house but the EA stations are 65c/kwh. The tesla stations are cheaper

 

[Drew127]

It’s $225 for the adapter and it’s back ordered

Even if back ordered, you can still place a reserve and even use points to knock off a good chunk if you have any points saved up. I have about $80 in points I could use if I didn't already have an adapter.

The Tesla Canada site doesn't seem to have any special instructions on adding a card, so it should work.

Can any Canadian Tesla owners chime in with info to help?

whoa. my home charging is $.20 (120v) and my closest DCFC is like $.30. the DCFC's i thought were expensive were .4-something, but under .5.

The opening web page says "EXTERIOR20" code for a 20% discount.
Does anyone know if that can be applied?
