Honda and Acura EVs Now Plug Into Tesla Superchargers

Honda & Acura Join the Tesla Supercharger Club—Finally

In a move that should ease the minds of road-tripping EV drivers across the U.S., Honda and Acura have officially joined the Tesla Supercharger party. The automaker just announced that owners of the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX can now access more than 23,500 Tesla Superchargers—provided they use a Honda-approved NACS-to-CCS adapter, now available for purchase.

That means no more sweating it out at unreliable DC fast chargers or mapping your drive around lesser-known networks. Just plug into a Supercharger—almost like a Tesla owner (almost).

What You Need to Know:

  • The adapter is available at authorized Honda and Acura dealers.

  • It’s the only adapter tested and approved by Honda—meaning it won’t void your warranty.

  • The adapter enables charging only at select Tesla Superchargers—namely, those that support NACS DC fast charging.

  • To start charging, you’ll still need the Tesla app (for now). Integration with HondaLink® and Acura EV apps is in the works.

Navigation Help Is Built-In:
Owners can use Google built-in Maps to locate compatible Tesla Superchargers directly from the dashboard. No juggling apps while driving, at least when it comes to finding a charger.

 

Why This Matters
Honda’s move is part of a broader effort to bridge the charging gap for EV drivers. Between Tesla’s growing openness to third-party EVs and Honda’s electrification roadmap—including their role in the IONNA charging network—this adapter rollout isn’t just a convenience. It’s a glimpse into a more interoperable EV future.

 

What About Home Charging?
Through Honda Home Electrification (HHE) and Acura Home Electrification (AHE), both brands are also promoting rooftop solar, battery storage, and smarter home energy tools. EV ownership isn’t just about plugging in—it’s about integrating clean energy into your lifestyle.

Looking Ahead
By 2030, Honda and Acura EV owners will have access to 100,000+ DC fast-charge points across North America. That includes Tesla Superchargers, EVgo, IONNA, and others—marking a significant step forward for public charging infrastructure and consumer confidence in EVs beyond the Tesla ecosystem.

 

Bottom Line
This adapter is more than just a piece of hardware. It represents a strategic pivot from Honda—acknowledging that charging convenience is key to EV adoption. It’s also a sign of the times: even traditional automakers can’t ignore the Tesla charging standard anymore.

 

Let’s hope the next update removes the app-switching gymnastics.
