General Motors will equip all 2027 model-year GM EVs with a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, covering Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC models listed by Electrek. GM says this enables direct use of compatible Tesla Superchargers and other NACS fast-charging networks, reducing reliance on its $275 NACS DC adapter used for some 2026 CCS1 vehicles.
Reuters reports that Ultium Cells, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution in northeast Ohio, will restart battery cell production next week after a seven-month shutdown. GM says 1,400 workers will resume at the plant, which halted EV battery-cell output in January due to weaker EV demand. The Tennessee JV plant makes energy storage batteries, and Samsung SDI bought GM’s stake in the Indiana JV.
