- New Honda-approved NACS-CCS adapters will better ensure a safe and reliable charging experience for Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners at Tesla Superchargers
- Adapters will be available for purchase through authorized Honda and Acura dealers
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners will gain access to more than 22,000 selected Tesla Superchargers across North America by this summer with the availability of the first Honda-approved NACS to CCS DC fast-charging adapter.
Approved adapters will better ensure a safe and reliable charging experience for Honda and Acura customers. The adapter was tested for safety performance and compatibility with the Prologue and ZDX for use at any NACS DC fast-charging point and is the only DC fast charging adapter approved by Honda.
“A key consideration for EV buyers is stress-free connectivity to charging networks and infrastructure, offering Canadian Honda and Acura EV customers access to the Tesla Supercharger network, in addition to EV charging networks already available, will make their decision to purchase an EV easier,” said Hayato Mori, Assistant Vice President, Business Development and Customer Engagement. “With this announcement, Honda will become an industry leader in providing charging options to consumers with more than 100,000 charge points in place across North America by 2030.”
Customers can purchase the new Honda-approved NACS to CCS DC fast-charging adapter from authorized Honda and Acura dealerships in Canada with launch planned towards summer 2025, with pricing to be confirmed closer to market introduction.
Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners will be notified via the HondaLink® and Acura EV apps when adapters are available to purchase and, at that time, they will also be able to use the apps to locate authorized Supercharger locations.
To better ensure a safe and reliable charging experience, Tesla requires and, accordingly, Honda strongly recommends the use of approved adapters when charging at Tesla Supercharger stations. Damage caused by using unapproved adapters may not be covered by vehicles’ limited warranties.
