The NACS Adapter
The Equinox EV's charging port uses the CCS standard, so a NACS-to-CCS adapter is required to plug into a Tesla Supercharger; without one, the physical connector simply won't fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special app to charge at a Supercharger?
Typically yes — non-Tesla vehicles usually need to use the Tesla app or an account set up for non-Tesla charging in addition to the physical adapter.
Is charging speed the same as a Tesla vehicle would get?
Charging speed depends on both the Supercharger stall's output and the Equinox EV's own charging capability, so speeds can vary and may not always match a Tesla vehicle's peak rate.
Can I use the adapter at any Supercharger location?
Most Superchargers now support non-Tesla vehicles with the proper adapter, though availability can vary by location and should be checked via the relevant charging app before a trip.
Is the third-party adapter as reliable as GM's official one?
Reliability can vary by manufacturer, so checking reviews and warranty coverage is worthwhile if choosing a third-party adapter over GM's official option.
