It’s well known that Tesla’s Wall Connectors and Superchargers are widely distributed, conveniently located, and often better maintained than many CCS1 or SAE J1772 charging stations. As the sales of Honda Prologue continue to grow, it’s natural for owners and potential buyers to ask: Can Honda Prologue use Tesla Charger?
Our conclusion: Yes, Honda Prologue can be charged by Tesla chargers. Below, we explain in detail whether Honda Prologue can use Tesla Charger and how to charge it effectively.
Honda Prologue Charging Standard
Globally, EV charging standards vary by region, including Type 1 and CCS1 in North America, Type 2 and CCS2 in Europe, GBT in China, CHAdeMO in Japan, and NACS for Tesla.
The Honda Prologue 2024 uses SAE J1772 for AC (slow) charging and CCS1 for DC (fast) charging, with a maximum onboard charging power of 150 kW. This enables the Honda Prologue to charge from 20% to 80% in about 20 minutes in optimal conditions, though real-world charging typically takes 35 minutes due to charging station limitations.
Most people may not realize that the Honda Prologue is built on GM’s Ultium platform, which it shares with models like the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. While the Chevrolet Blazer supports a maximum charging power of 190 kW, Honda conservatively capped the Prologue’s charging power at 150 kW. In actual tests, the Prologue achieved 133 kW charging power, which is still sufficient for daily commutes and road trips.
Starting in 2025, Honda has announced that its EVs, including the Prologue, will adopt the NACS (Tesla charging standard), allowing seamless compatibility with Tesla charging infrastructure.
Honda Prologue with Tesla Wall Connector
Yes, the Honda Prologue can use a Tesla Wall Connector, provided you have a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter. Simply connect the adapter to the Tesla Wall Connector’s charging plug, then insert it into the Prologue’s AC charging port.
Additionally, Tesla’s Universal Wall Connector supports both J1772 and NACS charging ports, making it an even more convenient option.
- Charging Power: 11.5 kW (48 amps).
- Range Added: Approximately 40 miles of range per hour.
- Charging Time: A full charge takes about 7 hours.
Charging Honda Prologue with Tesla Supercharger
Honda Prologue owners can charge their vehicles at Tesla Supercharger stations equipped with a Magic Dock, which allows compatibility with CCS1-equipped EVs.
Alternatively, purchasing a Tesla-to-CCS1 adapter gives Prologue owners access to:
- Supercharger stalls open to other EVs, equipped with Magic Docks.
- Supercharger stalls designated for NACS partners, which will also work with Prologue EVs.
You can locate these Tesla Supercharger stalls easily on the Tesla Find Us Map.
How to Charge Honda Prologue at Tesla Supercharger
To charge the Honda Prologue at a Tesla Supercharger, it may need some special tips. Follow these steps:
- Open the Tesla app on your smartphone.
- Under the “Charging” menu, select Chevrolet Blazer EV as your vehicle (since the Prologue shares its platform with GM).
- View Tesla Supercharger stations compatible with CCS1 or NACS-equipped vehicles.
- Connect the Prologue to the Supercharger and pay for charging directly through the Tesla app.
This process makes using Tesla Superchargers seamless and efficient for Honda Prologue owners.
Conclusion:
The answer to “Can Honda Prologue use Tesla Charger” is a clear YES. Whether you’re using a Tesla Wall Connector or a Tesla Supercharger, the Prologue is fully compatible with Tesla’s charging infrastructure when equipped with an appropriate adapter.
Starting in 2025, all Honda EVs will adopt NACS ports, making it even easier for Prologue owners to use Tesla chargers without adapters. With this integration, Honda EVs will continue to deliver a convenient and worry-free charging experience.
