EvGo with i8

I decided to try the EvGO / Chargepoint 2 hour free charging provided from BMW and realized that the receptacles are "CSS" and are not compatible with J1772 port in i8. What has been your work around?

You need to find the chargers that have the 1772. You can set the app for just those chargers

I see. I was thinking that there was some sort of adapter that they sell to make them work together.

Actually no. The charge point app will say there is an appropriate charger there, but when you physically get there, they are all "CCS".
