Honda has issued an electric-vehicle charger adapter that enables its consumers to power up their rides at Tesla Supercharger ports.
The Japanese automaker is the latest manufacturer to open up the most expansive U.S. EV charging network for its models. The charger works for its midsize crossovers Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX.
The adapter gives owners access to more than 23,000 public chargers across the country, according to Honda, which said it’s the only adapter the company has approved for North American Charging Standard power-ups, the Tesla-developed version of direct-current charging, or the faster charging type compared to alternating current charging.
Limited public chargers, especially in more rural areas, have been a major stumbling block to U.S. EV adoption.
"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," said Assistant Vice President of American Honda’s Sustainability & Business Development in a press release.
Honda set a suggested retail price of $225 for the adapter, which is being sold at Honda and Acura dealerships and online. It says consumers can locate the Tesla chargers on the Prologue and ZDX’s built-in mapping systems, though they must initially use Tesla’s mobile application to charge up at the ports. Honda said integration of the capability is under development for the Honda and Acura apps.
The South Korean automaker said it supports 570,000 jobs in the U.S. with a planned investment of $26 billion between 2025 and 2028, according to President and CEO José Muñoz.
