BMW EVs Get Immediate Access to Tesla Superchargers in the U.S.

Sessions authenticate through Plug & Charge with billing via Shell Recharge in the My BMW app.

Overview

  • Access to more than 25,000 Supercharger stalls is now live for BMW drivers, primarily at V3 and V4 sites.
  • Current CCS‑equipped BMWs must use a CCS‑to‑NACS adapter to charge at most Superchargers.
  • BMW says its official adapter will be sold in Q2 2026, while third‑party adapters are available now.
  • The 2026 iX and 2026 i5 eDrive40 need a remote software update planned for Q2 2026 before Supercharging is enabled.
  • Native NACS ports start with the 2026 i5 M60 as BMW becomes the 15th automaker this year to gain Supercharger access.
