In June, owners of the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicles will have access to over 20,000 selected Tesla Superchargers across the US, thanks to the availability of the first Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter. This adapter, which ensures a safe and reliable charging experience, will be available for purchase through authorized Honda and Acura dealers.
The adapter, tested for safety performance and compatibility with Prologue and ZDX models, is the only DC fast-charging adapter sanctioned by Honda for use at any NACS DC fast-charging stations.
Ryan Harty, assistant vice president of Sustainability & Business Development at American Honda Motor Co. Inc., said that the inclusion of Tesla Supercharger network access augments the charging options for Honda and Acura EV customers, aligning with the company's goal to provide over 100,000 charge points nationwide by the end of the decade. This initiative is aimed at making EV ownership more appealing by simplifying and expanding charging access.
The NACS-CCS adapters can be purchased from US Honda and Acura dealerships from June, with pricing details to be announced closer to the launch date. Vehicle owners will be notified about the availability of the adapters through the HondaLink and Acura EV apps, which will also assist in locating authorized Tesla Supercharger stations. The use of approved adapters is strongly recommended by both Tesla and Honda to ensure safety and reliability, and to avoid potential damage not covered by the vehicle's warranty.
Honda's broader charging initiative includes expanding access for Honda and Acura EV owners to about 100,000 DC fast-charge points across North America by 2030. This expansion includes not just the Tesla Supercharger network, but also the forthcoming Ionna DC fast-charging network, and existing networks such as EVgo and Electrify American, significantly enhancing the infrastructure for EV charging and supporting the transition toward electric mobility.
