I’d prefer a hummer ev or anything with the port located in the same spot as a Tesla to use Tesla stations due to most people having to take 2 stalls just to charge
You need the Tesla app & a Tesla account that links to a credit card because all Tesla Superchargers are all "plug & play" meaning no fuss no muss. Tesla makes everything fluid and counter-intuitive. In our opinion, Tesla Chargers are the easiest to use. Once you plug in, the car does the rest after you pick the charging post (parking spot) your at. Hope this helps.
As of today 9/15/2024, everyone is anxiously awaiting the release of the GMC adapter (NACS) (Level 3/ DC-fast charging) to the Tesla Supercharger Network. Basically, the NACS-adapter approved for GM vehicles like the Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, etc. which will enable non-Teslas to charge at any Tesla Supercharger charging station (Level 3 charging 20kw -350Kw or greater/DC fast charging). Right now, some Tesla Supercharger stations are equipped with a Magic Dock - essentially an adapter (by Tesla) that allows non-Tesla vehicles with a CCS charge port to charge at Tesla Charging Stations. You can find Tesla (Magic Dock equipped) Charging locations through the Tesla app or an app like PlugShare...some cars have a charging locator app on-board that could pull up all the nearby charging locations when you input a destination in your navigation. What we showed in our video is charging at a Tesla (MagicDock equipped) location. Hope this helps!
Hooray, GM! On September 19, 2024, GM announced that all GM vehicle owners are now able to charge at any Tesla Super Charger via the release of the GM NACS-adapter. The NACS-adapter can be purchased via the GM app for $225. For the official press release: news.gm.com/newsroom.detail.html/Pages/news/us/en/2024/sep/0918-nacs.html
A good supplemental app we use is PlugShare. The Hummer EV has built-in navigation with an integrated charging network with route mapping which shows you the nearest compatible charging station and your battery percentage at each location upon arrival. Hope this helps. Congrats!
In the beginning around Feb. 2023, there were only 10 -Tesla "Magic Dock" equipped Supercharger locations but, Tesla have expanded & installed a few more across the United States. I believe there are 4 locations in California equipped with Magic Dock as of today. You can use the Tesla app to see & filter through which location has the Magic Dock, if you have an account or you can download the Tesla app at a Supercharger with their QR code when you're there with a Non-Tesla EV. Eventually, all car manufacturers will be switching to the new standard, the NACS-adapter. We asked a GM rep. and they told us that the 2025 Hummer EVs will have the NACS-adapter built in during production which will eliminate the need to buy an additional adapter to charge at any Tesla Supercharger without Magic Docks. Hope this helps. Here is a link to the Tesla website with helpful information regarding Tesla charging & the Magic Dock. www.tesla.com/support/supercharging-other-evs

Were you using the Tesla app to charge with a non-Tesla account assigned to your hummer?

What if the Tesla station doesn’t have a magic dock can it still be charged?

Is it available in California too?
