SAIC Motor’s joint venture with General Motors, SAIC-GM, has announced that it will begin connecting to Tesla’s charging network in China by the end of this year, making it the first automotive brand to do so in the country.

SAIC-GM and Tesla China have partnered on the charging network, and the Cadillac and Buick brands’ all-electric models built on the Ultium platform are expected to have access to Tesla’s charging facilities that are open to other brands starting at the end of 2023, the company announced.

Owners of these all-electric vehicles from Cadillac and Buick will be able to look up and use Tesla’s Supercharger stations, destination charging stations that are open to non-Tesla vehicles, in their mobile apps, according to a statement from SAIC-GM.

As Tesla opens more of its charging stations in the Chinese mainland in the future, more SAIC-GM models will be able to use them, the statement said.

But plenty of UK people have had their MGs working on open Tesla chargers ... so I don't think this article has anything that will bring anything new to UK owners.

So, if I pay MG to have my <1 year old ZSEV modified there will be 10 superchargers I could use if I ever drive to China.
