Honda announced today that it’s adopting Tesla’s electric vehicle charging
connector for its future vehicles. The Japanese automaker was one of the
holdouts to accept the competing (and winning) standard, joining the likes of
Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, Polestar, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, and Fisker.

Honda is planning to implement Tesla’s plug, now known as the North American
Charging Standard (or NACS) in a new electric vehicle slated for 2025. The
automaker, like every other manufacturer on board with NACS, is promising the
availability of a CCS Combo to NACS adapter before 2025 so existing models
(and soon-to-be-released ones like the Prologue) will have access to Tesla’s vast
and reliable Supercharger network.

Before its plans to adopt NACS, Honda jumped in on a joint venture with BMW,
GM, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis to build out a nationwide
electric vehicle charging network. DC fast-charging networks that aren’t built by
Tesla are found to be largely unreliable, so with access to Tesla’s Supercharger
plus building a new network, future Honda EV owners might have a better time,
whenever the automaker gets around to releasing them.
