The Tesla Supercharger network has quickly gained traction among electric vehicle (EV) owners, especially as various manufacturers begin to embrace the widely-used “Tesla plug.” Honda, along with its luxury subsidiary Acura, is set to expand access to this extensive charging infrastructure, allowing their electric vehicles to utilize over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America.
Starting in June of this year, drivers of the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX will be able to charge their vehicles at Tesla Supercharger stations. Since these models are equipped with a CCS1 charging connector, Honda has confirmed that Prologue and ZDX owners will need to purchase specific adapters to connect to Tesla Superchargers utilizing the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector.
With this new initiative, Honda joins a growing roster of manufacturers—including BMW, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Lucid, Rivian, and Volvo—that have previously partnered with Tesla to facilitate access to its Supercharger network.
However, unlike some brands such as Ford and Hyundai, which provided complimentary adapters upon announcing their partnerships, Honda’s customers will have to purchase these adapters through dealerships. The exact price of the adapter will be announced as the June release date approaches. For reference, Ford has since ceased offering free NACS adapters and is now selling them for $200, which could serve as a potential pricing benchmark for Honda’s upcoming adapter.
It’s important to note that these adapters will only be compatible with Tesla’s DC Superchargers and will not work with Tesla’s destination chargers at home. However, if you’re fortunate, your local Tesla charging station might be equipped with Magic Dock adapters, enabling any EV with a CCS connector to charge without needing a separate adapter. While these installations are still somewhat uncommon, they can be found on PlugShare, a platform designed to help you locate EV charging stations.
In addition to enabling charging at Tesla stations, Honda has also committed to adopting NACS charging systems for its electric vehicles, starting with the Honda 0 prototypes that were revealed at CES 2025. Meanwhile, the Acura RSX 2026 is anticipated to be the first production vehicle outfitted with this system.
