Honda and Acura EV owners just got electrifying news. Starting this summer, they will gain access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network across North America.
Honda confirmed this major development during a press announcement on Thursday. The automaker revealed that all of its upcoming electric vehicles will use Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports. That includes both Honda and Acura brands.
EV drivers often face one major problem—charging. Tesla’s Supercharger network leads the industry with speed, coverage, and reliability. Honda’s move now brings a powerful solution for its EV customers.
Supercharge adapters will roll out this summer
Drivers of current Honda and Acura EVs can access Superchargers using an NACS-to-CCS adapter. These adapters will roll out this summer. Honda plans to offer them directly to customers. The company hasn’t confirmed pricing yet.
The first EVs from Honda with built-in NACS ports will launch in 2025. These models won’t need an adapter. Instead, they will connect directly to Tesla’s Superchargers—just like a Tesla vehicle.
Honda has finally joined the ongoing electric car competition in the Chinese market. The new electric SUV named Honda S7 has been announced.
Tesla currently owns over 12,000 Supercharger stations across North America. Honda’s partnership allows drivers to tap into this massive network. That means more charging stations and less waiting time for Honda and Acura EV owners.
GM, Ford, Rivian, Mercedes-Benz, and Hyundai have already joined Tesla’s network. Honda now joins the growing list of automakers adopting the NACS standard. This movement signals a dramatic shift in EV infrastructure across the continent.
Charging standard confusion once frustrated EV buyers. Now, NACS gains dominance. Honda’s transition simplifies the charging process and reduces compatibility concerns.
This partnership also aligns with Honda’s zero-emissions vision. The company aims to only sell electric and fuel-cell vehicles in North America by 2040.
Honda recently launched the Prologue SUV and Acura ZDX—both electric. These models will be the first to benefit from the adapter rollout this summer.
Tesla’s Supercharger system uses faster and more efficient DC fast-charging technology. EV drivers can typically charge up to 80% in under 30 minutes. That speed matters—especially on long road trips or daily commutes.
Industry experts expect other automakers to follow Honda’s lead. The EV market continues to evolve fast. And Honda just hit the accelerator.
