Honda and Acura electric vehicle (EV) owners in the United States now have access to more than 23,500 Tesla Superchargers with the launch of a newly approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter.
The adapter, priced at $225 MSRP, is available through authorized Honda and Acura dealerships as well as the Honda DreamShop online. Honda emphasized that this is the only DC fast-charging adapter it has tested and approved for use with the Prologue and Acura ZDX models at Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) locations.

“Planning a road trip just got a lot easier for our Honda and Acura EV owners with access to the Tesla Supercharger network,” said Ryan Harty, assistant vice president of Sustainability & Business Development at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Combined with other growing charging networks, Honda and Acura EV drivers now have added peace of mind with a wider range of dependable DC fast charging options nationwide.”
Honda stated that the approved adapter was tested for both performance and compatibility, helping ensure a reliable experience at Tesla Superchargers. The company also warned that the use of non-approved adapters may not be covered under the vehicle’s limited warranty, aligning with Tesla’s own requirements for third-party hardware.

In addition, owners of the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX can utilize the Google built-in Maps system to locate nearby Supercharger stations. Charging sessions will initially require the Tesla app, although integration with the HondaLink and Acura EV apps is under development, along with plug-and-charge capabilities.
The announcement follows a broader industry trend toward cross-network accessibility. Lucid Group said that its Lucid Air sedan would gain access to Tesla Superchargers starting July 31, using a $220 adapter provided by the automaker.
