It was revealed that owners of EVs produced by Honda and Acura would be allowed to avail themselves of Tesla Supercharger services. With this, the entire EV charging experience can expect improvement. Following recent changes made by Tesla regarding opening up their charging standard, most vehicle owners from different brands will now also benefit from Supercharger access.
About Access to Supercharging Network
The new Honda and Acura vehicles, starting from the year 2025, will feature a Tesla NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector for charging. An adapter will be made available by mid-2024 for existing Honda and Acura EV customers who would like to charge their cars in the Tesla Supercharger, making the transition more comfortable. This is clearance that enhances the whole charging infrastructure and facilitates long-distance travel.
Modifications That Were Done to the Tesla Supercharger Network
Charging for Honda and Acura historians was meant to be via the CCS (Combined Charging System), but they will change to a much faster charging of their EVs by Tesla's charging standard, NACS.
From now onwards, since Honda and Acura would have access to and adapt Tesla NACS, they will enter its Supercharger network, which is composed of more than 12,000 Superchargers located in the US and Canada.
Future Electrical Vehicle Plans of Honda and Acura
Starting from 2025, NACS ports will be fitted into all new EVs rolling off Honda's line, including the Honda Prologue and the Acura ZDX.
These vehicles will be engineered to feed off the Supercharger without a hitch and the company would even distribute an adapter based on NACS Standard compatibility for their traditionalized cars.
A Major Step for the EV User
To owners of Honda and Acura EVs, the access to using the Tesla Superchargers is ultimately upgrading the charging experience, cutting charges by time, and allowing for better range travels.
Seems to be a landmark initiative in the EV charging ecosystem, which probably other automakers will follow with this in their not-so-distant years.
