Good news for Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners: You, too, will soon be able to tap into the prolific and convenient Tesla Supercharger network. Starting in June, the first Honda-approved NACS-to-CCS DC fast-charging adapters will be available for purchase, thus granting Prologue and ZDX drivers access to more than 20,000 “select” Superchargers across the country, according to a press release. So, while you won’t be able to pull up to any old Supercharger and plug in, you’ll be able to use the associated HondaLink and Acura EV apps to locate compatible ones. The apps will also let owners know when they can buy the adapters, which will be available through Honda and Acura retailers. No pricing was announced at this time.

This announcement comes alongside the Prologue’s 2025-model-year updates, which include more range and power—for the same price as last year. The Prologue was, according to Honda, the nation’s top-selling non-Tesla EV during Q4 last year. On the other hand, the ZDX doesn’t seem to have received any further updates for 2025 aside from getting the upcoming NACS adapter. However, this might be because the ZDX was already producing better range and power than the Prologue. Detailed range estimates are forthcoming; 2025-model-year figures for the Honda and Acura have not yet been posted to by the EPA.

Regardless, this is great news, and represents another step in the direction of making public charging more convenient and accessible to non-Tesla owners. Honda/Acura joins automakers such as BMW, Ford, General Motors, and the Hyundai/Kia group in either offering adapters or switching to the NACS port altogether. You read our big roundup here.

I got into cars the way most people do: my dad. Since I was little, it was always something we’d talk about and I think he was stoked to have his kid share his interest. He’d buy me the books, magazines, calendars, and diecast models—everything he could do to encourage a young enthusiast. Eventually, I went to school and got to the point where people start asking you what you want to do with your life. Seeing as cars are what I love and writing is what I enjoy doing, combining the two was the logical next step. This dream job is the only one I’ve ever wanted. Since then, I’ve worked at Road & Track, Jalopnik, Business Insider, The Drive, and now MotorTrend, and made appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage, Good Morning America, The Smoking Tire Podcast, Fusion’s Car vs. America, the Ask a Clean Person podcast, and MotorTrend’s Shift Talkers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching the Fast & Furious movies on repeat. Tokyo Drift is the best one.
