Electric vehicle drivers using Acura and Honda models are now eligible to charge their cars at Tesla's Supercharger stations.
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicle owners in the United States can now join the Tesla Supercharging network, thanks to a new, Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter. This adapter allows the Tesla Supercharger NACS cable to connect with the Honda or Acura CCS charging port.
Purchasing the Adapter
The Honda-approved adapter is available for purchase at authorized Honda and Acura dealerships across the United States, with a suggested retail price of $225. Alternatively, it can be purchased directly through the online Honda DreamShop.
Initiating Charging Sessions
To start a charging session at a Tesla Supercharger, owners currently need to download and use the Tesla app. However, Honda is working on integrating the Supercharger access directly into the HondaLink and Acura EV apps, and plans to provide plug-and-charge capability in the future.
Finding Supercharger Locations
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX vehicles come equipped with built-in Google Maps, which can be used to locate nearby Tesla Superchargers easily. This feature helps reduce range anxiety for drivers planning long trips.
Expanded Charging Options
With this new access, Honda and Acura EV owners can fast-charge at over 23,500 Tesla Superchargers across the United States. Additionally, they can access other DC networks that use NACS connections, expanding their charging options nationwide.
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. Honda warns against using third-party adapters for charging, as damage may not be covered under warranty.
In summary, Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicle owners in the United States can access the Tesla Supercharging network by purchasing the Honda-approved NACS-CCS adapter and using the Tesla app to initiate charging sessions. They can also find Supercharger locations using their built-in Google Maps. Future updates aim to integrate charging into HondaLink/Acura EV apps and enable plug-and-charge functionality.
