GM EVs finally got access to the Tesla Supercharger network in September, but the perk did not extend to the GM-built Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX. Although mechanically similar to the Chevy Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, these Honda EVs are still limited to non-Tesla charging networks. However, that’s about to change this year.
Honda just gave an outlook for its car business in the U.S. in 2025. One of the company’s updates regarding electrification and sustainability was confirmation that Honda and Acura EV owners are expected to get access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting in Spring 2025.
This will expand the public charging network available to Honda EVs by approximately 17,800 plugs. There’s also the new Ionna charging network, which is a joint effort from eight automakers, including GM and Honda. It broke ground on its first charging station in North Carolina in October and plans to install over 30,000 fast charging points by 2030.
Since the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX have Combined Charging System (CCS) charge ports, they’ll need a North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter to use a Tesla charging station. Honda says adapters will be available soon, and we’re curious if they will be the same ones that GM offers.
The next Honda EV coming to the U.S. is the next-generation Acura RSX. A far cry from the Integra-based coupe from the 2000s, the new RSX is an electric crossover with a coupe-like profile. It will be built on Honda’s new EV architecture with nothing in common mechanically with the Acura ZDX.
“For American Honda, we will continue to capitalize on our flexible strategy of growing hybrid and light truck sales while building toward the production start of the Acura RSX all-electric SUV, our first original EV that will be made in our Honda EV Hub in Ohio later this year,” American Honda Vice President of Sales Lance Woelfer said.
Honda debuted the latest prototype versions of its 0 Series Saloon and SUV at CES. The production versions will be available in 2026 and built at Honda’s EV Hub in Marysville, Ohio. The new wave of Honda EVs also introduces a new ASIMO operating system.

Hello – we sold our house and do not have access to a home charging station for another 6 months. We are now using public EVGO stations for our 2024 Acura ZDX. This has been a real nightmare with the very few stations out there where I live in Morristown, NJ. I have to drive 10 miles to get to the nearest charging station. Every limited station we go to has problems. Either it’s offline, the port is broken or just not working. Note, that I have the EVGO app and very farmiliar with charging. I’ve reported issues dozens of times where the problem is not fixed for weeks, if not months. The closest station (10 miles away) currently has 1 superast station and one fast station open out of a dozen stations….the rest are offline or broken. There was a line the other day waiting, i was forth in line where i had to wait 2 hours just to start my charge. The best part is that I’ll charge it to 80% and then go to our office that is 41 miles away and I will be approx 10% left on my charge when I get back home??? if I end up driving 100 total miles going to the office,how is it that i have 50 miles left on my charge from 240 when I started that day. The last time I checked 240 minus 100 is 140. Where did the extra 90 miles go? Plus it’s costing approx $50 each time to charge. I thought this was going to be cheaper, it’s ending up becoming a nightmare with finding a charging station and a lot more money. Where can I get this tesla converter???
