BMW made their own NACS adapter because BMW. ECS has it listed for $149.99 and ships 18 December

Is the General Quality and Error Correction software update required for BMW EVs to use the adapter?
Will there be a MINI-branded NACS adapter, too? If so, it probably ships 18 December, 2026.
 
Seems to be working at the Brighton, MI site today. Some MINI successfully charged there just recently.

The adaptors are dumb, any of the available adaptors would work. The reason that we can't use SCs yet is because Tesla won't let us. Keep checking the Tesla app for available stations to see if they are letting us charge.

They are waiting to release their own. I suspect the rollout was delayed because bmw didn’t want an off the shelf solution

It's official at BMW starting today. Lectron Vortex Plus is the alternative BMW recommended adapter for $174.99.

My U25 Countryman is installing the NACS compatibility software update (11/2025.30) as I type this. The notification about this update mentioned "future availability" of the adapter, and that I would eventually be able to buy it through the app.

I don't need it so someone else an use it!

Bah, BMWUSA's video had an affiliate link. Please delete the link on the replies. I've disabled it on my comment.

There seems to be no corresponding "Equipment" section in the MINI app for charging like the video shows in the BMW app. Guess we still wait.

From what I’m seeing in other forums, it seems like the Equipment section shows up only after the cars install the latest OTA update.

I wonder if F56 will have to wait longer since we don’t get OTA updates (other than map updates).

The update is moot. You can start a charge Via Tesla App but BMW won’t show that. People were already charging by spoofing the Tesla app

F56 does get Navigation OTAs. Lectron is sending me a UL approved adapter

This is vastly different to a few days ago. I suddenly have a lot of SCs available to me nearby. Curiously, I do not have any extra out of this area. Maybe they want me to try one, first? Perhaps tomorrow night, on the way home...
Check your Tesla apps to see where you can charge. It will be interesting to see if any SE owners outside my area can also see this swarm in NC.

Sounds like they aren't sending us a free adapter? If Hyundai can manage that for their customers, why ca
