Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners now have access to more than 23,500 selected Tesla Superchargers across the United States with the availability of the first Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter, the company said today. The only DC fast charging adapter approved by Honda (NYSE: HMC) was tested for performance and compatibility for use with the Prologue and ZDX at any NACS DC fast-charging point. This confirms a previous announcement made in March 2025.*
“Planning a road trip just got a lot easier for our Honda and Acura EV owners with access to the Tesla Supercharger network,” said Ryan Harty, assistant vice president of Sustainability & Business Development at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “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.”
Customers can purchase the new, Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter from authorized Honda and Acura dealerships in the U.S. or online at the Honda DreamShop website (direct adapter links: Acura and Honda). The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the adapter has been set at $225. [footnote 1]
“Approved adapters help ensure a reliable charging experience for Honda and Acura owners. Tesla requires [footnote 2] and, accordingly, Honda only recommends the use of approved adapters when charging at Tesla Supercharger stations. Damage to a vehicle resulting from the use of an unapproved adapter may not be covered under vehicles’ limited warranties,” Honda said.
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners can now use the standard in-vehicle Google built-in Maps [3] capability to quickly locate authorized Supercharger locations. Initially, the Tesla app will be required for Honda and Acura EV owners to initiate charging at Tesla Superchargers. Integration with the HondaLink® and Acura EV apps and plug and charge [4] capabilities are currently in development.
Honda Charging Initiatives
By 2030, Honda and Acura EV owners will have access to ~100,000 DC fast-charge points across North America, including the all-new IONNA DC fast-charging network, Tesla Superchargers, EVgo and other open charging networks.
