Honda and Acura EVs can now use US Tesla Superchargers

Owners of the Honda Prologue or the Acura ZDX can soon access Tesla's US-wide Supercharger network, following the approval of new NACS-CCS adapters. The adapters can be purchased from Honda and Acura dealerships starting in June. (UPDATE BELOW)

This means that over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers will be available for drivers of these cars, as well as any other NACS DC fast-charging points.

Customers will be notified via the HondaLink and Acura EV apps when the adapters are available to purchase, and will also be able to use the apps to locate Superchargers.

Ryan Harty, assistant VP of Sustainability & Business Development at American Honda Motor, said: “Adding Tesla Supercharger network access to the charging networks already available to our EV customers means industry-leading fast-charging access for Honda and Acura EV drivers.

“By the end of this decade, we strive to provide Honda and Acura EV drivers with the most convenient and easy charging at more than 100,000 charge points nationwide, helping people choose to purchase an EV for the many benefits of driving one.”

The new charger is the only DC fast charging adapter approved by Honda, and the company warns customers against using any third-party adapters with Tesla Superchargers – stating that any damage caused may not be covered by their vehicle’s warranty.

Honda joins other brands such as Ford, Volvo, GM and Polestar in offering NACS adapters for their older vehicles. This broad switchover from other charging standards began in November 2022 when Tesla decided to publicly license NACS to other EV manufacturers in the US. Now, many of Tesla’s competitors are switching to NACS for their new vehicles and offering adapters for older models.

This shift on the part of automakers has primarily been motivated by the sheer scale and distribution of the Supercharger network in the US, which dwarves that of other charging providers. Using NACS adapters therefore gives drivers of other EVs access to a much larger charging network in the US.

Update 25 July 2025

The Honda-approved NACS-CCS are now available for drivers of electric Honda and Acura vehicles in North America, enabling them to use the Tesla Supercharger network there. “The only DC fast charging adapter approved by Honda was tested for performance and compatibility for use with the Prologue and ZDX at any NACS DC fast-charging point,” the carmaker states.

The adapters can be purchased online or at authorised Honda and Acura dealerships for 225 dollars.
