I am in southern Oregon and there are limited DCFC chargers available. Only two within 6o miles of my home. Does anyone make an adapter so we are able to use the Chademo fast chargers? They are all over around here.

CCS and CHAdeMO are both Direct Current Fast Charger (DCFC) standards. The Spark EV DCFC option uses CCS. They are not compatible and there are no adapters available.

I'm hoping as time goes on and there are more CCS vehicles on the road, that we'll see those CDMo units upgraded to both standards.
CHAdeMO units aren't upgraded. Unless they were designed to support SAE Combo but they omitted the connector, they need to be replaced in order to support both.

http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/62462 looks like an example of http://www.btcpower.com/products-and-applications/EV-Fast-Charger/ that was CHAdeMO only at first but then CCS was added later.

If you've seen cases where a CHAdeMO-only unit that was ONLY designed for CHAdeMO and somehow a CCS connector was added, I'd like to know about it.

you're being too literal here. By "upgraded" I mean the more general sense of "offering both services".
