Honda and Acura electric vehicles will be able to use Tesla Supercharger stations starting this springHonda said Wednesday in a business update.
As with other non-Tesla brands, Honda and Acura EV owners will get adapters allowing their CCS-equipped vehicles to connect to Tesla's NACS chargers. The automaker didn't provide any other details, so it's unclear if the adapters will be offered for free, or how much they'll cost if not.
2024 Acura ZDX
The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX SUVs—the only all-electric models currently sold in the US in their respective brands—are based on General Motors architecture and manufactured by GM. But Honda handles charging issues independently, hence the delay between GM's release of Supercharger Access in September 2024 and the Japanese automaker's planned release.
Besides Honda and Acura, the next few months will see a few other brands adds Supercharger access. Mercedes-Benz plans to open a Supercharger in February, followed by Kia later in the quarter, and Volkswagen, this summer. BMW, Genesis, Lucid, and JLR (including Jaguar and Land Rover) are currently listed as “coming soon” on Tesla's website, but the exact time has not been confirmed.
Honda 0 Saloon and 0 SUV prototypes
Honda is one of the eight car manufacturers supporting this Fast charging network for Ionna DCwhich will provide both CCS and NACS connectors. The automaker said four charging stations for the Ionna — called “Rechargeres” — are now in beta testing, leading to a fifth site launched last month.
The combination of Supercharger access and the Ionna network will support what is planned to be a growing number of Honda and Acura EVs developed in-house and built at remodeled facilities at Honda's traditional US manufacturing facility in Ohio. The first of these will be the Acura RSX compact SUV launched later this year, followed by the first Honda 0 Series models in 2026. Just previewed at CES 2025, the 0 Series models will have native NACS ports.
