Honda and Acura EVs Now Plug Into Tesla’s Supercharger Network

Honda and Acura EV drivers just got access to the largest fast-charging network in North America. Starting this week, owners of the 2024 Prologue and ZDX can plug into Tesla Superchargers using a $225 adapter sold through official channels.

This gives them access to more than 23,500 charging connectors across the U.S. and Canada. This means no workarounds and no third-party apps.

What owners get

• Access to 23,500+ Supercharger connectors across North America
• Adapter available through official Honda and Acura channels
• Easier long-distance travel with better charging coverage
• No need to rely only on third-party CCS networks

Software and navigation integration

These vehicles already come with Google Maps built in. The navigation system now includes:

• Real-time Supercharger locations
• Availability and estimated wait times
• Route planning optimized for charging stops

Honda also confirmed that plug-and-charge functionality is nearly ready. Once active, users will be able to plug in and charge without needing to manually authenticate or pay on-site.

Future vehicles will use NACS ports

Both brands plan to integrate NACS charging ports directly into future EV models. Starting in 2025, Honda and Acura drivers won’t need adapters. Vehicles will support Superchargers natively, matching Tesla’s hardware standard.

Why this matters for the industry

• NACS is becoming the dominant plug type in North America
• Third-party charging networks will need to retrofit or risk falling behind
• Automakers are focused on solving charging infrastructure gaps before mass EV adoption
• Integration is shifting from hardware to seamless, software-based experiences

Strategic value for Honda and Acura

Honda and Acura are launching their first volume EVs into a competitive market. Without Supercharger access, they risked falling behind on one of the biggest pain points for EV buyers: reliable, fast charging.

With this move, they gain:

• Broader appeal for new EV buyers
• Improved infrastructure access
• A foundation for deeper integration going forward

Access to Tesla’s network closes one of the most important infrastructure gaps for Honda and Acura EVs. The adapter is just the starting point. Over the next year, both brands will fully align with the new industry standard for charging.
