    • View charging notifications and alerts (e.g., plug-in reminder, charge interrupted).

    • To use this feature, you’ll be asked to complete a one-time activation within the app. You must first activate IONNA, which is a national fast charging network, under “Supported Networks” within the myChevrolet app Public Charging screen or have a compatible third-party charging account (e.g., EVgo) with a valid payment method on file linked to your vehicle mobile app. 
    • To link/unlink select third-party charging accounts, tap the Menu icon (3 dots in the upper-right corner), then select Public Charging Services.

Charging using the North American Charging Standard (NACS)

You can also find, start and pay for charging sessions at a compatible NACS station using the myChevrolet app.

  • To begin, go to the Account Menu (circle with your initials) on the app menu and select Public Charging. 
  • On the Public Charging screen, select the “Activate” prompt next to “Supported Networks” and follow the instructions.  
  • Depending on your vehicle, you may need to purchase a compatible NACS DC adapter for your vehicle. You can do this within the myChevrolet app.

Note: If you have a NACS-native GM electric vehicle, you may need additional adapters: the GM CCS1 DC Adapter for DC fast charging at non-NACS stations and the GM J1772 AC Adapter for Level 2 charging.

How to Use myChevrolet Mobile App

Q&As

Can I use a North American Charging Standard (NACS)-compatible charger to charge my GM vehicle?

Yes. As of September 2024, GM has adopted the North American Charging Standard. This means your GM electric vehicle will be able to access the NACS network if you have a NACS-native GM electric vehicle or purchase a GM-approved NACS DC adapter and set up public charging in the myChevrolet app. 

Can I use a North American Charging Standard (NACS)-compatible public charger for my GM vehicle without selecting a charge plan in the myChevrolet app?

No. The NACS network requires an app to start charging and pay for charging, since the charging stations don’t have card readers on them. You’ll need to use the myChevrolet app to enroll in public charging and save a valid payment method. You’ll also need to purchase a NACS DC adapter if your vehicle has a CCS1/1772 charge port. 

What is Charge-by-App?

Charge-by-App is a feature in the myChevrolet app that lets EV users remotely start a charging session on a compatible level 2 or DC fast charger. Here’s how to activate the feature: 

  • Tap the Map tab on the Home screen.
  • Select the ellipsis (…) in the top-right corner. 
  • Choose Public Charging Services from the options. 
  • Activate Tesla Supercharger under “Supported Networks” or link your third-party charging account by following the prompts. 
  • Make sure you have a valid payment method saved within your third-party charging account. 

What is Plug and Charge?

Plug and Charge is a feature in the myChevrolet app that lets you authorize and initiate a charging session at a compatible DC fast charging station. Just plug in the charging cable, and the charging process begins. To use this feature, you'll need to complete a one-time activation within the app. Here's how: 

  • Tap the Map tab on the Home screen.
