Honda and Acura EVs will gain access to Tesla’s Supercharger network this coming spring, according to Honda – though the brands are still missing from Tesla’s “coming soon” page.
On Monday, Tesla updated its “coming soon” page, adding several brands to the list of cars that can soon be billed to its fast charging locations.
However, that addition was incomplete, because we’ve heard recently about some other brands that will be added soon. For example, VW said at CES that it would gain access in June, though that brand is nowhere to be seen on Tesla’s site.
In a press release related to its announcement of the upcoming Acura RSX EV, American Honda commented on future charging plans. It said “Honda continues to be proactive in supporting charging infrastructure to spur customer adoption of electric vehicles with Honda and Acura EV owners expected to get access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting this Spring with the availability of adaptors to customers.”
Currently, Honda’s only BEV in the US is the Honda Prologue, built in collaboration with GM.
Honda didn’t give more information on whether those adapters will be free or purchaseable, or what manufacturer will be making them, but it does sound like they’ll be out in the Spring. Honda said it would share more information on the specifics closer to launch.
Some brands, like Ford and Hyundai, have to send adapters to certain consumers for free (sometimes limited to a certain time period or to vehicles of a certain design year), and some, like Mercedes, charge for adapters.
But most adapters cost around $200, give or take, which isn’t a particularly large pricetag as far as automotive expenses go.
The rollout of Tesla Supercharger access was basically planned at the end of last year and in 2025. However, there were chaotic conditions related to the rollout, probably after Elon Musk’s TeslaArray shelter, the sudden dismissal of the total overeating team in last April.
This team had been guilty of effectively executing the blow that could make Tesla obtain a lasting advantage in electric vehicles, but as a result of this resolution we saw a general chaos between compressor contractors and a setback in the plans. Things have calmed down and the transition to the NACs is moving forward, but there are still obstacles along the way, such as the replacement of the Ford adapter, the lack of communication between Tesla and Nissan and the delay of Kia’s compressor.
But with all these recent announcements of brands “coming soon” to Tesla’s charging network, whether through Tesla themselves or independently like with Honda and VW, it looks like we’ll be seeing a much more varied parking lot in Tesla charging locations as the year goes on.
