Honda and Acura EVs in the U.S. will gain access to the Tesla Supercharger this spring.
Currently, just two models are affected.
These are the GM-based Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX. More are on the way, though.

Honda and Acura electric vehicle owners will be able to use the Tesla Supercharger network in the United States to top-up their cars starting this spring.

Currently, the only EVs sold by the two automakers stateside are the General Motors-based Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX crossovers. However, that will change in the following years as Honda will release several EVs that are based on a bespoke architecture developed in-house by the Japanese automaker.

The first of the new wave of Honda EVs is the 2026 Acura RSX, a coupe-like crossover that will enter production at Honda’s Ohio EV plant in late 2025. It will come with the carmaker’s latest tech, including the Asimo OS software that’s designed to be highly updatable.

Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners will need an adapter, which will be available through the two automakers’ dealerships, although it’s unclear whether the adapter will be free or not. “Honda and Acura owners will have access to the Supercharger network starting this spring when we roll out certified adapters to our customers,” said Lance Woelfer, vice president of automobile sales for American Honda during a briefing with reporters on Tuesday.

Besides getting access to Tesla’s Supercharger network of DC fast chargers, which is regarded as the best in the industry, at least in the U.S., Honda and Acura EV owners will also be able to use other charging operators such as Ionna. “We will continue to invest in making the EV ownership experience seamless through Ionna and other charging initiatives,” Woelfer added.

American Honda’s announcement comes hot on the heels of Mercedes-Benz saying its EV owners will get access to Tesla’s DC fast charging network next month. BMW, Lucid and Hyundai are also in line to gain access to over 15,000 Tesla Supercharger stalls in the U.S. and Canada. We don’t know when these manufacturers–Honda and Acura included–will get access to Tesla’s network exactly. There’s no definitive date for any of these brands–in the case of Kia, access was recently delayed from January 15 to the “first quarter of 2025.”

In other words, you’ll have to keep an eye on the news to find out when your non-Tesla EV will be able to top up at Superchargers. Bear in mind that you’ll also need an adapter, and all automakers say the car’s warranty will be voided if something goes wrong while charging using an adapter that’s not manufacturer-approved. That said, there is no active communication between the adapter and the car or charging stall.

Some EV companies contracted Tesla to supply official charging adapters, while others–like Ford and Mercedes-Benz–get theirs from Lectron.
