Electric vehicle drivers of Acura and Honda models now have the option to utilize Tesla's Supercharger network for charging their EVs.
Honda and Acura Expand Charging Options with Tesla Supercharger Access
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicle owners in the United States can now access the Tesla Supercharging network, thanks to a new, Honda-approved DC fast-charging adapter. This adapter, priced at $225, is available at authorized Honda and Acura dealerships or online through the Honda DreamShop.
The adapter allows the Tesla Supercharger NACS (North American Charging System) cable to connect with the Honda or Acura CCS charging port. This move significantly expands fast charging options for Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners, giving them access to over 23,500 Supercharger stations nationwide.
Initially, to use the Tesla Superchargers, owners must start charging sessions via the Tesla app. However, Honda is working on integrating Supercharger access directly into HondaLink and Acura EV apps and developing plug-and-charge capabilities to further streamline the user experience.
The vehicles feature built-in Google Maps to help locate nearby Superchargers, providing convenience and reducing range anxiety. With this development, planning a road trip just got easier for Honda and Acura EV owners.
Honda warns against using third-party adapters for charging, as any damage caused may not be covered under warranty. The new adapter is the only officially approved adapter by Honda for safely connecting these vehicles to Tesla Superchargers.
Combined with other growing charging networks, Honda and Acura EV drivers now have added peace of mind with a wider range of dependable DC fast charging options nationwide.
