BMW Drivers Now Have Access to Tesla Superchargers, 15th Auto Brand to Gain Access - CleanTechnica

BMW electric vehicle drivers in the US now have access to certain Tesla Superchargers via the North American Charging Standard (NACS), making BMW the 15th automaker to gain such access either through NACS adapters or built-in NACS ports. However, this access is limited to more modern Supercharger stations, as older versions remain incompatible with non-Tesla EVs. BMW is not releasing an official NACS adapter until the second quarter of 2026, but third-party NACS-to-CCS1 adapters are currently available, though buyers should exercise caution. The BMW EV models compatible with Supercharging via NACS include the i4 (2022-2026), i5 (2024-2025 and 2026 models after a software update), i7 (2023-2026), and iX (2022-2025 and 2026 models after a software update). Drivers must ensure they use compatible stations to charge successfully. Other automakers that have adopted
