- Tap the Map tab on the Home screen.
- Select the ellipsis (…) in the top-right corner.
- Choose Public Charging Services from the options.
- Activate Tesla
Supercharger† under “Supported Networks” or link your third-party charging account by following the prompts. - Make sure you have a valid payment method saved within your third-party charging account.
Charging using the North American Charging Standard (NACS)
You can also find, start and pay for charging sessions at a compatible NACS station using the myCadillac app.
- To begin, go to the Account Menu (circle with your initials) on the app menu and select Public Charging.
- On the Public Charging screen, select the “Activate” prompt next to “Supported Networks” and follow the instructions. When you start a charging session from the myCadillac mobile app on the Tesla Supercharger Network, you’ll only be charged for the energy you use.
- Depending on your vehicle, you may need to purchase a compatible NACS DC adapter for your vehicle. You can do this within the myCadillac app.
Note: If you have a NACS-native GM electric vehicle, you may need additional adapters: the GM CCS1 DC Adapter for DC fast charging at non-NACS stations and the GM J1772 AC Adapter for Level 2 charging.
