BMW i3 vehicles are not designed to charge directly at Tesla Supercharger stations. Tesla Superchargers use a proprietary charging technology that is specific to Tesla vehicles. Tesla vehicles use a unique charging connector and communication protocol that is not compatible with other electric vehicles, including the BMW i3.
The BMW i3 typically uses the Combined Charging System (CCS) or Type 2 charging connector, which is a standard used by many electric vehicle manufacturers. Tesla Superchargers, on the other hand, use a Tesla-specific connector.
To charge a BMW i3, you would typically use public charging stations that support the CCS or Type 2 connectors. Many public charging networks and stations are equipped with CCS chargers, and the BMW i3 can be charged at these locations.
It’s essential to check the compatibility of the charging infrastructure and connectors when planning to charge an electric vehicle. Charging network providers and apps often provide information on the supported connector types at each charging station. Always ensure that the charging station supports the connector used by your specific electric vehicle model.
