Earlier this month, select BMW EVs got access to the Tesla Supercharging network in the US. It seems that the Mini brand, which is part of the wider BMW Group, has also become Tesla’s NACS partner, although it’s disappointing that there is no official announcement (or at least we can’t find one). We tried to contact Mini, but without success.

Being one of Tesla’s NACS partners enables select EVs to access more than 25,000 Tesla Supercharging stalls (select V3 and V4 dispensers) in North America. The network’s total size is over 36,500 stalls, but some stalls are available only for Tesla EVs.

Which Mini Models?

As far as we know, only the 2025-2026 Mini Countryman SE ALL4 model received access to the North American Tesla Superchargers.

The retired 2020-2024 Mini Cooper SE has been left without access, just like the BMW i3.

The info regarding Supercharging access for the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 was posted by Mini users (see a Reddit thread here). We saw it also in a comment under our BMW post (Hat tip to Dana Morin-Sion). Separately, there is a Lectron’s page for the NACS-to-CCS1 adapter for the MINI Countryman SE ALL4.

A key requirement for Supercharging access is that the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 must have the latest over-the-air software update.

Adapters

The Mini Countryman SE ALL4 is natively equipped with a CCS1 charging port. To use Tesla Superchargers (and other NACS chargers), drivers must use a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter.

BMW plans to release its official NACS-to-CCS1 adapter in Q2 2026, which is a few months away. To access Superchargers now, BMW/Mini users must rely on third-party adapters.

It seems that as of today, the recommended adapter is the Lectron Vortex Plus presented on a MINI-dedicated page (the same as for BMW EVs). The adapter costs $174.99, has a Mini-approved interlock design, is UL 2252 certified, and supports a power level of up to 500 kW (up to 500 amps and up to 1,000 volts).

Tesla Supercharging dispensers with a built-in NACS-to-CCS1 adapter (aka Magic Dock) can be used by compatible Minis without adapters. However, this possibility has been available for quite some time to all CCS1-compatible EVs. Using the Tesla app to start a charging session is necessary. Tesla has more than 2,400 such stalls in North America.

Software Integration

Unfortunately, we don’t have details regarding the Mini’s software integration with the Tesla Supercharging network.

As far as we know, users should add the NACS-to-CCS1 adapter in settings, so Mini’s onboard navigation (and the Mini app) will know to display NACS (SAE J3400) chargers just like CCS1 chargers.

Mini DC Fast Charging

Regarding DC fast charging, the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 is average at best. According to specs, it can recharge from 10 to 80% state of charge (SOC) in 30 minutes at up to 130 kW.

Considering the EPA Combined range of 204-212 miles, it can add 142-148 miles in 30 minutes, at an average of less than 5 miles/minute of charging.

State Of Charge’s DC fast-charging analysis of the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 confirmed the specs, achieving a 10-80% SOC time of 27 minutes.

State Of Charge’s 70-MPH range test ended with 219.2 miles, which is 7.2 miles or 7.2% above the EPA Combined range.

Who Will Be Next?

The list of Tesla’s NACS partners has reached roughly 20 companies, including (chronologically): Ford, Rivian, General Motors (Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC), Volvo, Polestar, Nissan, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Genesis, Kia, Honda, Acura, Jaguar Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Toyota (including Lexus), Subaru, Volkswagen, and most recently BMW (with Mini).

In the recent days, Tesla’s website added Stellantis in the “Coming Soon” category. Stellantis expects to gain access to Tesla Superchargers in North America in early 2026.

There are also a few companies not listed at all, such as Mazda (now without an EV on the market), Mitsubishi (also without an EV), and a few other exotic nameplates.

Ultimately, all EV manufacturers in North America are expected to become Tesla’s NACS partners, as the network holds a huge market share of over 50% of DC charging stalls. Meanwhile, other charging networks have begun deploying chargers with NACS (SAE J3400) connectors, while manufacturers are now launching their first EVs with NACS charging inlets (see a list of NACS-compatible models here).

The locations of Tesla Superchargers can be seen on Tesla’s interactive Supercharging map (visible here). It allows users to filter results to show which Superchargers are available to NACS partners, which includes about two-thirds of the North American network.
