want to get to some breaking news in the auto space Tesla's domination now growing General Motors is following in the footsteps of rival Ford motor and partnering with Tesla to use the company's charging Network gaining access to 12 000 Chargers starting next year like Ford General Motors will also begin installing a charging port used by Tesla known as nacs this is set to start in 2025 and this really does Shana in many ways put everything the infrastructure particularly the Chargers in the hands of Tesla it certainly does giving them that huge Advantage there we're seeing the reaction Tesla shares after hours GM stock up was up just about four percent I believe it still is right now in extended trading but you're right it certainly does endorse Tesla's technology as the standard here industry standard going forward when it comes to those charging stations range anxiety is a real thing when it comes to the EV owners people were thinking about going out and buying an electric vehicle I know from your experience like you shared Tesla's supercharging network is reliable especially when you compare it to some of the Alternatives out there in terms of some of their competitors with the other model there so the fact that these drivers EV drivers are going to have access to even more stations they will need to use an adapter before the new models are built in 2025 but that showed you would think maybe help more people feel comfortable making that transition to an EV and not so concerned that they won't be able to find a charging system yeah and worth noting that the current industry standard is not Tesla's charger it is what's called ccs and if these both of these companies are going to start installing that those Chargers into their cars in 2025 you have to wonder what the overall infrastructure is going to look like and whether in fact it is going to shift overall in the favor of Tesla because as much as GM Ford so many of these companies have tried to get the ball rolling here and GM is one of those companies that's really built out whether it's the battery these are the infrastructure really making a play for the full stack they just can't move quickly enough with the reality right now is they're trying to sell those cars the charging infrastructure just isn't in place yeah certainly a huge Advantage will be interesting to see if any of others follow but GM and Ford a great starting point there for Tesla yeah so it's certainly a stock move on both ends there
