The upcoming Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue electric crossovers will likely adopt Tesla's NACS connector around the middle of the decade.
electric crossovers arriving for the 2024 model year are based on General Motors' Ultium EV platform and battery technology set. GM will also build both models.for its EVs starting in 2025, and this will likely extend to Honda and Acura EVs built by GM. According to Autoblog, the ZDX will feature the NACS connector by 2025 or 2026. An adapter would then be required for anyone wanting to use the current CCS1 connector that most non-Tesla EVs are currently designed for.
The move will make access to Tesla's vast charging network seamless and convenient for Honda and Acura EV owners. It will also significantly increase the number of DC fast-chargers available to them. Tesla's DC fast-chargers account for about 60% of fast-chargers in the U.S., according to the Department of Energy, and they are currently being opened up to rival brands in a deal made between Tesla and the White House earlier this year.
