    General Motors has officially introduced North American Charging Standard adapters for its EVs—but, unlike other automakers, will charge its customers for the piece, according to Green Car Reports.

    GM first unveiled plans last year to adapt its vehicles for NACS, following similar plans being released from other automakers at the time. This past spring, Ford and Rivian began shipping free NACS adapters to its customers.

    The rollout of GM’s adapters differs slightly, though, in that vehicle owners will have to pay $225 for one, as opposed to Ford and Rivian’s complementary adapters.

    Drivers of GM EVs will have access to 321,800 DC fast-charging and Level 2 AC public chargers with the adapter, and the in-vehicle charging app will be optimized for compatibility with Tesla Superchargers.

    The automaker is actively working with multiple suppliers to ensure no supply chain issues crop up as the adapters are sent out to customers.
