After months of delays, G MS Electric vehicle owners can now finally recharge its Tesla supercharger stations.

GM supercharger access was supposed to begin in the spring but software delays on Tesla side reportedly kept pushing it back now though EV owners can use almost 35,800 supercharger stations across the US and Canada.

However, the vehicles still need adapters and those are proving hard to come by and we talk about the fact that this is could be a huge win just in terms of maybe getting more people interested in buying an EV given the access that they now have to super chargers.

Obviously, the delay was an ideal here for GM but many GM owners are very happy.

Of course, the question is what the signals go forward and whether or not it's going to help boost demand.

Yeah, GM has been pushing into EV so new sub $50,000 models and Bloomberg known in binary plant in Mexico, increasing output of the Chevrolet equinox EV.

Um the Chevy Blazer EV which starts at 49,000.

So now to your Point Sean with also expanded charger access questions, you know how much of a tail one is that for the EV sales?
