Electric vehicle drivers of Acura and Honda models now have access to Tesla's Supercharger network for charging their vehicles on the go.
Honda and Acura electric vehicle (EV) owners can now expand their charging options with access to the Tesla Supercharger network across the United States. This is made possible through a Honda-approved NACS-to-CCS DC fast-charging adapter, which enables CCS-equipped EVs like the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX to charge at Tesla Superchargers.
The process for accessing the Tesla Supercharging network is straightforward:
- Purchase the official adapter: The adapter, priced at $225, is available exclusively through authorized Honda and Acura dealerships or online at the Honda DreamShop website.
- Use Tesla's app to start charging: Initially, to initiate a charging session at a Supercharger, owners must use the Tesla app. However, Honda is working to integrate Supercharger access into the HondaLink and Acura EV apps, and plug-and-charge capabilities are under development.
- Locate Supercharger stations: Honda and Acura EVs come with built-in Google Maps, which includes Tesla Supercharger locations to assist in finding nearby chargers.
It is crucial to note that only the Honda-approved adapter should be used, as Tesla mandates approved adapters to prevent possible vehicle damage, which would not be covered under warranty if unapproved adapters are used.
In summary, Honda and Acura electric vehicle owners can plug into Tesla Superchargers using the approved $225 adapter purchased from authorized dealers or Honda DreamShop and start charging sessions via the Tesla app, with app integration enhancements expected soon. This expansion of charging networks provides added peace of mind for Honda and Acura EV drivers, making long road trips more manageable.
