Electrified Acura and Honda vehicle owners now have access to Tesla's Supercharger network for charging their electric vehicles.
Honda and Acura electric vehicle (EV) owners can now expand their fast-charging options with access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network. This is made possible by a newly developed and authorized NACS-to-CCS DC fast-charging adapter designed by Honda.
The adapter, priced at approximately $225, is available for purchase from authorized Honda and Acura dealerships and online through the Honda DreamShop website. It is crucial to use only the Honda-approved adapter to ensure vehicle safety and compatibility with Tesla's Supercharger network.
To use the Superchargers, Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX EV owners will initially need to use the Tesla mobile app to activate charging sessions. However, Honda is working on integrating the adapter with its HondaLink and Acura EV apps, as well as enabling plug-and-charge functionality.
The new adapter allows the Tesla Supercharger NACS (North American Charging System) cable to join up with the Honda or Acura CCS charging port. This development significantly expands fast-charging options for Honda and Acura EV owners, helping alleviate range anxiety and improve long-distance travel convenience.
In addition to Tesla Superchargers, Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners can now access DC networks that use NACS connections, providing a wider range of dependable DC fast charging options nationwide.
Moreover, the vehicles come equipped with Google Built-In Maps, allowing drivers to easily locate nearby Supercharger stations for convenient route planning and charging station discovery.
Honda plans to incorporate the Tesla NACS charging port directly into future EV models, eliminating the need for an adapter.
With over 23,500 Tesla Supercharger stations across the U.S., Honda and Acura EV owners can now fast-charge at these locations, making long-distance road trips more feasible and enjoyable.
