How to get a Tesla adapter for your Cadillac Lyriq

Recently, General Motors announced that access to the Tesla Supercharger network is now possible for all Ultium-based EVs (and the Bolt EV and EUV after a dealer-installed software upgrade) if you have the adapter to convert the NACS connector to the CCS that’s on the cars. There are a few ways you can get an adapter, but GM recommends going through them. Get an official adapter for $225 GM says it’ll be sourcing adapters from multiple vendors, and not just using the one that Tesla makes itself. But if you want one of the official ones, you can order it through one of the charging apps that GM currently offers with its cars. On the Cadillac Lyriq, you’re going to want to make sure the MyCadillac mobile app (iOS / Android) and have your car properly set up through it. If you want more information about the MyCadillac app, you can check out Cadillac’s official information site. Get a compatible adapter for less If you don’t want to wait for the Cadillac adapter for your Lyriq, or you don’t want to pay the $225 fee to get an official one, there are a few third-party options out there. The one from Lectron would be what we recommend, but the pricing sometimes is more expensive than the official GM adapter. So depending on how long you have to wait for the official adapter from Cadillac, that might sway your decision. It should be noted that these adapters are for connecting to DC fast chargers only. They aren’t to be used for Tesla level 2 EVSE home and destination chargers. You’ll need a different adapter for that, because these big adapters only support the DC connection.

Or, there’s no reason to trade your current Lyriq in for a new one once the NACS port is built-in. Even if you did wait for a NACS-native Lyriq, there’ll still be CCS chargers out there that you’ll probably want access to, and you’re still going to need some sort of adapter to make that work.
