"The 2026 BMW i5 M60, which is the top-spec i5 sold in America, gets a NACS charge port from the factory. Meanwhile, the 2026 i5 eDrive40 and 2026 i5 xDrive40 still come with a CCS1 charge port, which is somewhat unusual, considering that all U.S.-bound i5s are assembled at the same factory in Dingolfing, Germany."
"BMW gained access to Tesla's Supercharger network of DC fast chargers late last year, so nearly all modern BMW EVs can use Tesla's stalls, but now the 2026 i5 M60 doesn't need an adapter anymore."
"The carmaker states on its website that the 2026 i5 eDrive40 and 2026 i5 xDrive40 will get a software update this spring, enabling them to use Tesla Superchargers."
The 2026 BMW i5 M60 is the only model in the i5 lineup with a native NACS charge port, allowing direct access to Tesla's Supercharger network. The i5 eDrive40 and i5 xDrive40 models still use a CCS1 charge port but will receive a software update to enable Tesla Supercharger access. BMW's new electric models, including the iX3 and i3, will feature NACS ports upon their U.S. release. The i5 M60 also supports Plug & Charge functionality at Superchargers, enhancing user convenience.
