ChargePapa Publishes CCS1 Adapter Guides for BMW i4, Mercedes
ChargePapa has completed a six-vehicle CCS1 adapter guide series covering the BMW i4, Mercedes EQS/EQE, Polestar 2/3, VW ID.4, Lucid Air, and Rivian R1T/R1S — addressing J1772 compatibility, DC fast charging limits, and Tesla Supercharger adapter requirements for each model.
- (1888PressRelease) May 25, 2026 - ChargePapa has published four new vehicle-specific EV charging adapter guides covering the BMW i4, Mercedes EQS and EQE, Polestar 2 and 3, and Volkswagen ID.4 - completing a six-vehicle CCS1 series that also includes guides for the Lucid Air and Rivian R1T/R1S.
ABOUT THE GUIDE SERIES
CCS1 is the dominant DC fast charging connector for non-Tesla EVs in North America. CCS1 ports are backward compatible with J1772 Level 2 connectors, so no adapter is needed for home or public Level 2 charging. For Tesla Supercharger access, CCS1 vehicles require a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter except at Magic Dock stations. Each guide covers connector type by model year, DC fast charging speed ceiling, onboard AC charger rating, Level 2 circuit sizing, Tesla Supercharger access conditions, and full network compatibility.
