Cadillac Tesla Supercharger: Can Cadillacs Use Tesla Superchargers?

Who can use Tesla Superchargers? Can Cadillac use a Tesla Supercharger? Thanks to the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and the Cadillac NACS adapter, Glendale Cadillac EV owners can now access Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network. Read on to learn more.

Can Cadillac Use a Tesla Supercharger?

Yes, Cadillac electric vehicles (EVs) can charge at Tesla Superchargers using a GM-approved NACS DC adapter. This adapter connects your Cadillac model’s CCS (Combined Charging System) port to Tesla’s NACS plug, enabling access to over 17,800 Superchargers across North America.

Which Cadillac Models Can Use Tesla Superchargers?

Currently, all new Cadillac electric vehicles are compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network when using the appropriate NACS adapter. As of 2025, this includes:

• Cadillac LYRIQ
• Cadillac ESCALADE IQ
• Cadillac OPTIQ
• Cadillac VISTIQ
• Cadillac CELESTIQ

Cadillac has announced that future EVs will be built with the NACS port directly integrated, removing the need for an adapter starting in 2025.

What Is the Cadillac NACS Adapter?

The Cadillac NACS adapter is a specialized device designed to bridge the connection between your Cadillac model’s CCS charging port and Tesla’s NACS plug. This adapter is intended exclusively for use with Tesla Superchargers and is not compatible with Level 2 Tesla chargers, such as Tesla Wall Connectors.

How To Use Tesla Superchargers With Your Cadillac

To charge your Cadillac EV at a Tesla Supercharger:

1. Obtain a GM-approved NACS adapter. Purchase through the Cadillac Accessories website or the myCadillac mobile app.
2. Set up the myCadillac mobile app. Ensure you have the latest version, and add a payment method.
3. Locate a compatible Tesla Supercharger. Use the app to find V3 or newer Superchargers that support NACS adapters.
4. Plug the adapter into your vehicle, connect the Tesla charging cable to the adapter, and start the session via the app.

Who Can Use Tesla Superchargers?

Tesla’s Supercharger network is expanding access to non-Tesla EVs. With the appropriate adapter, vehicles from manufacturers like Ford, GM (including Cadillac), Rivian, and others can utilize these charging stations. However, access is typically limited to V3 and newer Superchargers, and users must initiate charging sessions through their respective vehicle apps.

Key Points to Remember

• The Cadillac NACS adapter is designed for DC fast charging at Tesla Superchargers and is not compatible with Level 2 Tesla chargers.
• Ensure the Supercharger station is V3 or newer to guarantee compatibility.
• The myCadillac app is essential for locating Superchargers, initiating charging sessions, and handling payments.
• Using non-GM-approved adapters may affect your vehicle’s warranty coverage.
