General Motors Co. will adapt its electric vehicles to Tesla Inc.’s Superchargers, following Ford Motor Co.’s lead and all but ensuring it will become an industry-standard in the US.

“This collaboration is a key part of our strategy and an important next step in quickly expanding access to fast chargers for our customers," Barra said in a statement. “Not only will it help make the transition to electric vehicles more seamless for our customers, but it could help move the industry toward a single North American charging standard."

GM shares rose more than 5 per cent in extended trading in New York. Tesla also climbed 2.7 per cent on the news.

Tesla’s network will be open to GM EV drivers starting in 2024 and require an adapter. Starting in 2025, GM will build its electric vehicles with a port for direct access to Tesla Superchargers.

Ford CEO Jim Farley went on Twitter Spaces last month and made a similar announcement, moving the auto industry toward a single charging standard.

Shares of charging network operators that compete with Tesla’s dropped sharply on the news, with ChargePoint Holdings Inc. down 0.4 per cent and EVgo Inc. sliding 3 per cent.
