I’m a Chevy Bolt owner, and I can’t believe Superchargers work this well

It might not last, but road trips in the slowest-charging EV are quite nice now.

Enlarge / Nothing but respect for the clairvoyant landscape architect who designed this Wawa parking lot, knowing the discount EVs would one day arrive.

It should not be so exciting to eat a breakfast quesadilla in your car.

But this quesadilla was from Wawa, this Wawa hosted a Tesla Supercharger, and this car was the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, hooked up to that Supercharger through a NACS/CCS adapter. More than a year after GM’s switch to NACS was announced, and following some Tesla internal chaos that made it seem like a dead deal, Tesla unlocked access to its conveniently placed EV charging stations to General Motors cars in late September. It wasn’t every Supercharger, but it was more than 17,000 spots, many in places that were previously dark zones in any road trip plan.

I bought my car knowing that road trips would be an infrequent but real inconvenience. With Tesla's network available now, the anxiety of rolling the CCS dice in unknown lands has lessened considerably. To understand just how this feels, you must first hear about the Before Times.
