Where can my 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV charge at Tesla Superchargers?
Yes. Chevrolet vehicles have had official Supercharger access since September 2024. You charge at any Supercharger marked “open to non-Tesla” using the Tesla app.
The 2018 Bolt EV has a CCS1 port. At NACS stalls you need a NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapter: the GM NACS DC Adapter (85836744) ($275). GM's first-gen adapter was $225 (Sept 2024); the current GM-branded unit is $275. Never free. All 2027 GM EVs have native NACS and ship with CCS1 ($189) / J1772 ($67) adapters sold separately. Adapter details. Magic Dock sites (green) need no adapter at all.
At the stall: the 2018 charge port is driver-side front. Pull in nose first and close to the post. You will often end up using the post to your left; Tesla says that is acceptable when the site is not busy. Expect up to about 55 kW at a V3 stall. Only Bolts with the optional DC port (RPO CBT) can fast charge; peak is about 55 kW on any charger, so a Supercharger is no faster than a 50 kW station.
How to charge: download the Tesla app, choose “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, add a payment card, pick the site and stall number, plug in, then tap Start. Older V2 Superchargers (grey on the map) only work with Teslas.
- DC fast charging was a $750 option (RPO CBT) on MY2017-2021; Bolts without it have no DC port and cannot use any Supercharger. Peak ~55 kW.
- GM's 2027 lineup is all native NACS (Bolt, Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Silverado EV, plus Cadillac and GMC).
- Bolt EV/EUV charge at only ~55 kW regardless of stall type.
Good to know about Superchargers
- Only Superchargers marked 'open to NACS partners' (V3, V3+ and V4 stalls with the Tesla app 'Charge Your Non-Tesla' flow) are usable by non-Tesla cars. Older V2 stalls are Tesla-only. A small number of V3 'Magic Dock' sites have a built-in CCS1 adapter and work for any CCS1 car regardless of brand agreement.
- V3 and V3+ dispensers run roughly 400-500 V and top out at 250 kW. 800 V-class cars (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis E-GMP, Porsche Taycan/Macan, Audi Q6/A6 e-tron, Lucid, Mercedes CLA, Cadillac Escalade IQ/GMC Hummer/Silverado EV in some modes) charge slower there unless they have an on-board boost converter. V4 cabinets (500 kW, up to 1,000 V) started going live in September 2025 and remove that penalty.
- V3 cables are short and sized for Tesla's rear-left port. Cars with a front or passenger-side port often have to park nose-in or across two stalls. V4 posts have longer cables.
- Adapters: only a DC 'NACS-to-CCS1' adapter approved by the vehicle maker is covered by that maker's warranty; Tesla's app will still let unapproved adapters charge, but the OEM may deny warranty claims. AC 'J1772-to-NACS' adapters are a different product and are irrelevant for Superchargers.
