Honda and Acura EVs Tesla Supercharger Compatibility Expands Charging Access

Honda and Acura EVs can now use Tesla Superchargers, a game-changing development for Prologue and ZDX owners. Thanks to a newly released $225 adapter, these electric vehicles gain access to more than 23,500 Tesla Supercharger stations across North America. Designed for cars equipped with the Combined Charging System (CCS), this adapter enables them to plug into Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS), making long-distance travel and urban charging significantly more convenient. For EV owners wondering about compatibility and rollout, this update brings a much-needed solution ahead of Honda’s native adoption of NACS in future models.

How the Tesla Supercharger Adapter Works for Honda and Acura EVs

The adapter acts as a smart bridge between CCS-equipped Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX models and Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network. Now available for purchase via Honda’s official website and dealerships, the adapter simplifies EV charging logistics, especially for those outside city centers. Even better, Honda has integrated Tesla Supercharger locations into its vehicles’ Google Maps app, allowing users to easily locate stations without switching apps mid-drive. This marks a strategic step toward enhancing the EV ownership experience while maintaining compatibility with both existing CCS infrastructure and the newer NACS standard.

Honda’s Broader EV Charging Strategy Includes NACS and CCS Support

Since the North American Charging Standard became an industry benchmark in 2023, automakers including Honda have been quick to adapt. Alongside rivals like BMW, GM, Kia, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis, Honda is investing in a joint EV charging network to ensure coast-to-coast accessibility. By offering support for both CCS and NACS formats, the automaker is preparing for a smooth transition while keeping current EV drivers covered. This dual-standard strategy ensures future-proof flexibility and addresses one of the most common EV adoption pain points: charging access.

Using Tesla Superchargers via HondaLink and Acura EV Apps

Although full app integration is still in development, Honda and Acura EV drivers can expect future updates that enable Tesla Supercharger access directly through the HondaLink and Acura EV apps. For now, users will need to rely on the Tesla mobile app to start a charging session. This temporary workaround still provides practical benefits, especially with the convenience and reliability that Tesla’s network is known for. Once Honda finalizes its in-app integration, the charging experience will become even more seamless, positioning Honda and Acura among the most user-friendly EV platforms on the market.
