Tesla's Supercharger network is now open to non-Tesla EVs — including the BMW i4. In this video, I walk you through exactly how to charge your BMW at a Tesla Supercharger using the Lectron Vortex Plus NACS-to-CCS adapter, step by step.
I also cover which BMW models are currently compatible (and which are waiting on a software update), two charging methods using the My BMW app or the Tesla app, pricing breakdowns for on-peak vs. off-peak, full adapter specs, and how it performs in cold weather.
You can find the Lectron Vortex Plus here:
