@@louisgallinaro3902 No. fast charging is DC. Home charging is AC. None of the hardware is compatible. Search for “Tesla to J-1772.” Lectron makes a high quality example. I use it with my Tesla level 2.
Regardless of the charging speed, access to the best and most ubiquitous network is stress relieving. Ford and Rivian can simply plug and charge. Is this not possible with GM/Honda EVs?
I am on the fence with an EV (Prologue or Mach e in fact), concerned about broken chargers, errors and then run out of range. I played around with the Tesla app, and looks like Honda Prologue can be selected in the profile, but would barely show you any Super chargers and then a small number of other unfamous chargers. Then, when you configure a GM Blazer EV, more Super charger options become available, but not ALL Super chargers though, for either GM Blazer of Mustang Mach e. But looks like you get the exact same choice with the GM Blazer EV as you get with the Mustang Mach e. So, with the Honda Prologue you would have the same number of chargers available as with an e.g. Mustang Mach e in the Tesla App. But then Ford says they have this Blue Oval network. Does Blue Oval offer more charging options than the Tesla app?
Blue Oval is just all the chargers it can plug into regardless of brand. I explain this with finite detail in this video: Honda Prologue Charging - ACTUAL OWNER Explains It All ruclips.net/video/xA7HXHhR8LA/видео.html
This is VERY helpful! Thank you for sharing!Is there any way to get the Google Maps integration to show the Tesla chargers on the route planner? I checked a box in the payment methods setting for Tesla but it doesn't seem to show them.
Just bought a Honda Prologue and I’m glad to see that my car can be charged at a Tesla supercharge station. I’m hoping that Honda will comp us this adapter like Ford did!
GM owners aren’t getting a free one. You have to buy it. And, unfortunately, since you technically shouldn’t have access because the Prologue is a Honda with GM components, the only way to get an adapter is to use one you got from owning a ford or a Rivian, or buy an aftermarket adapter. You will most definitely not be given one.
I do a fairly deep charge in this video: Honda Prologue - How Much Range Do You Lose By Driving Fast? ruclips.net/video/Gs_mYLbxaNY/видео.html it shows cost, charging time, and efficiency.
Hey. Love your videos. I noticed that when I set my prologue up on Tesla app it hardly shows any superchargers available, but then when I delete the prologue out and set it up as the Chevy blazer EV, it makes a lot more available to me. After a few months of use is the Tesla supercharger still working on your prologue even though it thinks it’s the Chevy EV blazer?
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have a quick question: with this charger, can I charge at any Tesla charging location, whether it’s a Supercharger or not? Or will I need a different adapter to charge at regular Tesla locations that aren’t Superchargers? I just got my Prologue yesterday and am new to the EV world!
Thank you so much for sharing, I brought this adapter. I want to charge my prologue but when I put in my location it does not pull up the Tesla chargers in my town. It says it a supercharge when I google it but not on the app. Do you know what this would be?
This is a great perk. I just leased a prologue Saturday. If this is entirely GM build, is there any concern for using the SC’s before its official in terms of voiding any warranties or terms of leasing? Would Honda be able to know?
If Honda would be able to know, it wouldn’t work. If they void your warranty, it’s against the law. I made a video about it. Start here: ruclips.net/video/2y_fXhucSoU/видео.htmlsi=oQnQu1OPAZ2k20k6
This Honda works simply because it's based on GM Ultimum battery platform and is built by GM with Honda design touches. In fact this is the only Honda EV on sale. Acura sells the same EV under its own brand and should be able to charge at the SC. No other brand, except for Ford, Rivian, and GM (and GM built) Honda, can use the SC yet.
Brian Drives a Rivian, which is also able to use superchargers. Hyundai/Genesis doesn’t have access yet. GM was granted access this week. Since the Supercharger is a handshake, the car you say you are in has to be a true statement. The Prologue is essentially a Blazer EV with Honda appointments, the Supercharger recognizes that it has the GM architecture. Won’t be long for Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, as the 2025 Ioniq 5 will have the native port.
Hyundai/Genesis/Kia are only weeks away from gaining access. Keep in mind, your Genesis 800v system will charge slower on the current Superchargers running on 400v. I'd only use Superchargers as a backup until the higher voltage V4s are online. That might take a little time to be widespread
Hi Guys, hope many of you already used tesla Supercharger for Honda Prologue, but Honda Prologue charge rate is designed for 155KWH, tesla super charger is at 250 KWH, does this cause an issue in a long run? I reached Honda customer care they recommended to use only 150KWH
Not true. The car and the charger talk to each other. What you are thinking could happen actually can’t happen. You are the absolutely perfect candidate for this video: Honda Prologue Charging- ACTUAL OWNER explains everything ruclips.net/video/xA7HXHhR8LA/видео.htmlsi=7jSKaqC5Xg052sEe
@ I watched the video. But couldn’t find the answer I am looking for. Does the adapter brings down the tesla 250kwh to prologue allowed charge rate? What happens over a period of time? Does Honda manual or forum says prologue can use tesla super charger with lectron adapter?
@srikanthkoneti I’m extremely sorry. The car is a computer, and so is the DC fast charger. EVGo has 350kW chargers. And yet, the Prologue can still charge at them, even though the maximum the prologue can do is around 150kW. At every charger, no matter whether there is an adapter or not, the car asks for a certain amount of energy, and the charger, if able, will send up to that amount, but never more. The adapter does not change, alter, or interact with this process in any way. It is nothing more than an extension cord. USB cables also work in this way. Data and electricity also can both travel. And no, since Honda doesn’t have official access to the supercharger network, there’s nothing in the manual. But since this car is in every way a GM product, there’s a workaround.
@@Aslash304 Thank you for your explanation. I was looking for this kind of information, but the Honda support team doesn't have any knowledge of this. They just told me not to use beyond 150KWH, that's the reason i was limited to very few chargers and thought i can't use the Tesla supercharger. per your explanation, i can use the Tesla and 350KWH charger too. Thanks again
Let’s look at all the superchargers with a magic dock. There’s a total of 45 in the United States. Yes. Total. I went through and individually counted every supercharger available with an adapter in every state. The total number of available superchargers with an adapter is 1249. Still think it’s redundant? I made a video to explain: ruclips.net/user/shorts95PWm31Wm8M?feature=share
Home charging is AC. Fast charging is DC. It’s a different adapter. Google search: “Tesla to J-1772 adapter” for home charging your prologue using a Tesla home charger. a.co/d/47t1vTH this the link to the home charging adapter I use.
Has anyone tried the official GM adapter on a Prologue, or even just handled one to see how the build quality compares to other brands, e.g. Lectron, etc. I need to buy some version of this adapter and after hearing all the stories, I only want to "buy it once, buy it right" as the saying goes ...
@@Aslash304 it shows that it is connected to the vehicle, but the app says it cannot detect the vehicle. Best Buy site shows it is not compatible with Honda and I know it is manufactured by GM and I tried setting it to Chevrolet Blazer in the app and it still couldn't detect vehicle and I tried setting it to Prologue in the app and couldn't detect vehicle. I tried this with 2 adapters.
I am technical so this really bugs me that I can't get this to work. I went ahead and ordered a J1772 adapter. It is coming tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
The car is limited to 150kW, you may get to 155 or so in the right conditions, but that’s the max for the car, same at all other chargers. Fully explained here: ruclips.net/video/v8fzyVfuw7E/видео.html&si=HWop9lChKRugwp_a

Yes. The supercharger knows what type of car. No, you can’t charge a Porsche, because it will not pass the ISO 15118 handshake. These cars and chargers are computers that talk to each other.

These cars are selling horribly! Confirmed by a manager when we went in to buy my daughter a Civic for her birthday. We currently own a BMW iX M60, and a Tesla Model 3 Performance, so we inquired about Honda’s EV offerings. Even the salesman was uncomfortable talking about the Prologue.

I didn’t block anyone. I live in WV. I explicitly state this in the video. I’ve got a feeling you didn’t watch it, though. I’m quite certain this supercharger location has never been at full capacity. Look it up, any time, day or night. But, the poor use of sarcasm earns you a 0.3/10 on the criticism meter. It was indeed criticism, but barely. A very low score indeed.
You’ll have to have one adapter or the other. I do agree that the CCS to Tesla adapter is cheaper and easier to get, as you can buy the OEM version directly from Tesla.

@@louisgallinaro3902 No. fast charging is DC. Home charging is AC. None of the hardware is compatible. Search for “Tesla to J-1772.” Lectron makes a high quality example. I use it with my Tesla level 2.
Regardless of the charging speed, access to the best and most ubiquitous network is stress relieving. Ford and Rivian can simply plug and charge. Is this not possible with GM/Honda EVs?
From experience it’s plug and charge (I own a mache) but I might keep it off plug and charge just due to the subscription which knocks off 10c per KwH
I know the current method works. And since my access is a technicality, I’ll just do it this way for now.
Might seem like a stupid question but have to ask why is the black lectron cheaper than the white lectron version?
Because most of them are black. And I think you are referring to the AC Tesla adapter, because all of the DC examples are black.
So on the Tesla app we have to select Chevy Blazer EV and not Honda Prologue in order for this to work?
100% correct.
@@Aslash304 I'll have to get the adapter and try it out!
Game changer
Bingo.
I am on the fence with an EV (Prologue or Mach e in fact), concerned about broken chargers, errors and then run out of range. I played around with the Tesla app, and looks like Honda Prologue can be selected in the profile, but would barely show you any Super chargers and then a small number of other unfamous chargers. Then, when you configure a GM Blazer EV, more Super charger options become available, but not ALL Super chargers though, for either GM Blazer of Mustang Mach e. But looks like you get the exact same choice with the GM Blazer EV as you get with the Mustang Mach e. So, with the Honda Prologue you would have the same number of chargers available as with an e.g. Mustang Mach e in the Tesla App. But then Ford says they have this Blue Oval network. Does Blue Oval offer more charging options than the Tesla app?
Blue Oval is just all the chargers it can plug into regardless of brand. I explain this with finite detail in this video: Honda Prologue Charging - ACTUAL OWNER Explains It All

This is VERY helpful! Thank you for sharing!Is there any way to get the Google Maps integration to show the Tesla chargers on the route planner? I checked a box in the payment methods setting for Tesla but it doesn't seem to show them.
@@robklaproth8144 yes. It’s in settings. I’ll show in an upcoming video
Just bought a Honda Prologue and I’m glad to see that my car can be charged at a Tesla supercharge station. I’m hoping that Honda will comp us this adapter like Ford did!
GM owners aren’t getting a free one. You have to buy it. And, unfortunately, since you technically shouldn’t have access because the Prologue is a Honda with GM components, the only way to get an adapter is to use one you got from owning a ford or a Rivian, or buy an aftermarket adapter. You will most definitely not be given one.
How long it will take it to full charged and price of full charge?
I do a fairly deep charge in this video: Honda Prologue - How Much Range Do You Lose By Driving Fast?
ruclips.net/video/Gs_mYLbxaNY/видео.html it shows cost, charging time, and efficiency.
If I am charging my Acura ZDX Type S should I choose Cadillac Lyric as my car ?
That would be my first suggestion
Hey. Love your videos. I noticed that when I set my prologue up on Tesla app it hardly shows any superchargers available, but then when I delete the prologue out and set it up as the Chevy blazer EV, it makes a lot more available to me. After a few months of use is the Tesla supercharger still working on your prologue even though it thinks it’s the Chevy EV blazer?
Oh yes. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have a quick question: with this charger, can I charge at any Tesla charging location, whether it’s a Supercharger or not? Or will I need a different adapter to charge at regular Tesla locations that aren’t Superchargers? I just got my Prologue yesterday and am new to the EV world!

Thank you so much for sharing, I brought this adapter. I want to charge my prologue but when I put in my location it does not pull up the Tesla chargers in my town. It says it a supercharge when I google it but not on the app.

This is a great perk. I just leased a prologue Saturday. If this is entirely GM build, is there any concern for using the SC’s before its official in terms of voiding any warranties or terms of leasing? Would Honda be able to know?
If Honda would be able to know, it wouldn’t work. If they void your warranty, it’s against the law. I made a video about it. Start here: ruclips.net/video/2y_fXhucSoU/видео.htmlsi=oQnQu1OPAZ2k20k6
Brian is honda on the approved list ? I noticed you entered Chevy, would this work with a genesis as well?
I don't know what Brian drives. Adam drives a Prologue and it's a good question about Honda. Genesis isn't approved yet.
This Honda works simply because it's based on GM Ultimum battery platform and is built by GM with Honda design touches. In fact this is the only Honda EV on sale. Acura sells the same EV under its own brand and should be able to charge at the SC. No other brand, except for Ford, Rivian, and GM (and GM built) Honda, can use the SC yet.
Brian Drives a Rivian, which is also able to use superchargers. Hyundai/Genesis doesn’t have access yet. GM was granted access this week. Since the Supercharger is a handshake, the car you say you are in has to be a true statement. The Prologue is essentially a Blazer EV with Honda appointments, the Supercharger recognizes that it has the GM architecture. Won’t be long for Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, as the 2025 Ioniq 5 will have the native port.
Hyundai/Genesis/Kia are only weeks away from gaining access. Keep in mind, your Genesis 800v system will charge slower on the current Superchargers running on 400v. I'd only use Superchargers as a backup until the higher voltage V4s are online. That might take a little time to be widespread
Hi Guys, hope many of you already used tesla Supercharger for Honda Prologue, but Honda Prologue charge rate is designed for 155KWH, tesla super charger is at 250 KWH, does this cause an issue in a long run? I reached Honda customer care they recommended to use only 150KWH
Not true. The car and the charger talk to each other. What you are thinking could happen actually can’t happen. You are the absolutely perfect candidate for this video: Honda Prologue Charging- ACTUAL OWNER explains everything ruclips.net/video/xA7HXHhR8LA/видео.htmlsi=7jSKaqC5Xg052sEe
@ I watched the video. But couldn’t find the answer I am looking for. Does the adapter brings down the tesla 250kwh to prologue allowed charge rate? What happens over a period of time? Does Honda manual or forum says prologue can use tesla super charger with lectron adapter?
@srikanthkoneti I’m extremely sorry. The car is a computer, and so is the DC fast charger. EVGo has 350kW chargers. And yet, the Prologue can still charge at them, even though the maximum the prologue can do is around 150kW. At every charger, no matter whether there is an adapter or not, the car asks for a certain amount of energy, and the charger, if able, will send up to that amount, but never more. The adapter does not change, alter, or interact with this process in any way. It is nothing more than an extension cord. USB cables also work in this way. Data and electricity also can both travel. And no, since Honda doesn’t have official access to the supercharger network, there’s nothing in the manual. But since this car is in every way a GM product, there’s a workaround.
@@Aslash304 Thank you for your explanation. I was looking for this kind of information, but the Honda support team doesn't have any knowledge of this. They just told me not to use beyond 150KWH, that's the reason i was limited to very few chargers and thought i can't use the Tesla supercharger. per your explanation, i can use the Tesla and 350KWH charger too. Thanks again
@srikanthkoneti I’m glad I could help. Finally kW is speed, kWh is capacity.
Getting an adapter is kinda redundant since most if not all of available Tesla supercharging stations for non Tesla cars already have the magic dock
Let’s look at all the superchargers with a magic dock. There’s a total of 45 in the United States. Yes. Total. I went through and individually counted every supercharger available with an adapter in every state. The total number of available superchargers with an adapter is 1249. Still think it’s redundant? I made a video to explain: ruclips.net/user/shorts95PWm31Wm8M?feature=share
Can it work for a Tesla home charging wall mount unit in garage?
Home charging is AC. Fast charging is DC. It’s a different adapter. Google search: “Tesla to J-1772 adapter” for home charging your prologue using a Tesla home charger. a.co/d/47t1vTH this the link to the home charging adapter I use.
Hello there. Thanks for the video. Will this work with Acura ZDX 2024-2025 models?
It should. I would try the Cadillac Lyriq instead of the Blazer EV.
Nice to know.......GM Prologue.
Exactly
Amazing
It’s nice to have
Has anyone tried the official GM adapter on a Prologue, or even just handled one to see how the build quality compares to other brands, e.g. Lectron, etc. I need to buy some version of this adapter and after hearing all the stories, I only want to "buy it once, buy it right" as the saying goes ...
The “GM adapter” is the Tesla adapter. It’s $750 on eBay
For some reason I was unable to get the Tesla plug to plug into the adapter. Not sure why.
Send it back. Likely a defect. I’ve seen it before
@@Aslash304 it shows that it is connected to the vehicle, but the app says it cannot detect the vehicle. Best Buy site shows it is not compatible with Honda and I know it is manufactured by GM and I tried setting it to Chevrolet Blazer in the app and it still couldn't detect vehicle and I tried setting it to Prologue in the app and couldn't detect vehicle. I tried this with 2 adapters.
Did you set yours up as a 2024 Chevy Blazer EV in the Tesla app?
@@Aslash304 yes

Hello fellow Prologue owners..... whats the max kw that we can charge at a supercharger station??
The car is limited to 150kW, you may get to 155 or so in the right conditions, but that’s the max for the car, same at all other chargers. Fully explained here: ruclips.net/video/v8fzyVfuw7E/видео.html&si=HWop9lChKRugwp_a

@@raghuprathap3562 Hyundai doesn’t have access to the supercharger network, technically Honda doesn’t either, however, because the prologue is built by GM, that’s why this works. Hyundai will get access soon, and there will be a lot of fanfare around it.

I am happy to help you. I need to know more specifically what the issue is. If you are referring to a specific charger, it may not be NACS enabled. If you input your vehicle as a prologue in the Tesla app, you aren’t going to see them, it needs to be a blazer EV. If it’s something else, feel free to reply with additional questions.
Which app to use to charge? I downloaded tesla app and it will not let me sign up to use because I don't have a tesla. What do you have to do?
www.tesla.com/support/how-create-or-delete-tesla-account
Does the supercharger actually understand that you're connected to a specific car? If I tell the Tesla App I'm charging a Blazer, can I charge a Porsche Taycan? I didn't think the Honda Prologue was a GM-based EV like Acura's version of the Lyriq....hmmmm
Yes. The supercharger knows what type of car. No, you can’t charge a Porsche, because it will not pass the ISO 15118 handshake. These cars and chargers are computers that talk to each other. Finally, The Prologue is 100% a GM. The door placard should prove that, it’s here at 13 minutes in: ruclips.net/video/iEFoufTyeUI/видео.html&si=mLza22TyxbELnKfk

how much is the adapter?
Should be links in the description. Around $180.
Oh damn, didn't know it opened up to the Honda/Acura as well!
It didn’t. The Prologue is made by GM, and you can convince the supercharger you have a Blazer, essentially the same car.
@@Aslash304 Yeah I would have expected them to lock that somehow in software, but if it works it works!
You don't watch the video
Will this work with the Acura zdx?
It should. Tell the app it’s a Cadillac Lyriq
You can charge the car while it's on? ???
Of course. That way you get all the data
Let’s stop for a moment and enjoy the strange world of 2024. You can now buy a Honda made by GM and charge it at a Tesla station. That sounds so amazing. Then you realize ICE car fill up stations were never brand dependent.
Gas will always be an option. 100 years of infrastructure certainly helps.
You should take a business class Judy, then you'll understand how infrastructures work, especially for new technologies. Instead of ragging on Tesla, all you guys should thank them for single-handedly putting in the charging infrastructure in the country. This almost bankrupted them. I own a '24 M3P and I support them 1000%. Why shouldn't I? Without Tesla you would never have ANY ev's....period.

Did the price change while charging the Honda? In other words, would it have been cheaper if you charged a Tesla instead?
Yes. This is true for every non-Tesla EV
@@Aslash304 How much of a difference was it? :))
@@OmerAydin-nk1hs $0.09 per kWh. There’s a monthly fee you can pay to reduce the cost down to the same rate. Electrify America does the same thing. Infrequent users pay one price, but, for a small fee per month, more frequent users can receive a significant discount.
@@Aslash304 thank you
WOW, such a bonus that Honda Prologue can be charged on the Tesla Supercharger Network. I hadn't even thought about the Hondas when GM announced Supercharger access. I received my adapter from GM and tested my '23 Bolt EUV using both the Tesla app and the My Chevy app, both worked great!!!!
PS: My wife called me weird because I went out at 10pm on the day i received my adapter to test the Supercharger, I have to admit that it was a bit "EV Geeky".

So it costs $1 to drive 6 miles with this price for 1kWh.
They aren’t cheap. Think of it as a way to access areas you previously couldn’t because of a lack of infrastructure. If you need to use them regularly, you can pay a monthly subscription to get 20% off the price per kWh.
Can this be used on a Fisker?
Unfortunately it will be one of the only CCS Electric vehicles that will never get Supercharger access. No company, no deal to get access.
Fisker himself says yes....only for Fisker Pears which will be produced in 2048 under the moniker FISKER CARPETBAGGER AUTOMOTIVE.

These cars are selling horribly! Confirmed by a manager when we went in to buy my daughter a Civic for her birthday. We currently own a BMW iX M60, and a Tesla Model 3 Performance, so we inquired about Honda’s EV offerings. Even the salesman was uncomfortable talking about the Prologue. As a Honda fan since owning my first one in the 90’s, I know they’ll eventually come around to improving their EV options.
The Prologue is a GM. It was the best selling Non-Tesla in August. Did you find published sales data to verify the sales?
Just because you allow it to sit for a few minutes does not mean it works. Try charging it from 20 to 80 percent and see if it errors out.
It doesn't. I have a Prologue with the Tesla adapter and it works fine from 20 to 80.
There are literally hundreds of examples at this point proving that it works. What I haven’t seen is someone not being able to use it. If I run into that, I’ll post it right away.
Are we being fooled here? Is Honda a Trojan horse for passing as a GM proxy, what would happen once Tesla realize this?
It literally is a GM. The door placard says GM.
So basically, you lie to the app and say you have Chevy Blazer? Because if I say Honda Prologue it says no super chargers are available.
Correct
Wondering the same thing. Bought/Leased Prologue for my wife and chose the mobile unit. Clearly not made genuinely aware by sales dept. or manager of lack of compatibility at majority of stations. Pretty angry at Honda’s approach. Wife ordered an adapter and now considering the home kit which will cost MORE💰+ install. Honda should honestly address this for their customers! Open to advice.

Nice! Blocking 2 stalls is a blessing for everyone else.
I didn’t block anyone. I live in WV. I explicitly state this in the video. I’ve got a feeling you didn’t watch it, though. I’m quite certain this supercharger location has never been at full capacity. Look it up, any time, day or night. But, the poor use of sarcasm earns you a 0.3/10 on the criticism meter. It was indeed criticism, but barely. A very low score indeed.
I'll wait till cars have nacs plug built-in, not having to carry around these plugs,
You’ll have to have one adapter or the other. I do agree that the CCS to Tesla adapter is cheaper and easier to get, as you can buy the OEM version directly from Tesla.
Thanks Elon and Tesla, the others talked a good game, Elon and his minions just DID IT in the face of constant negativity and out right hate and vandalism. That’s who you want on your side.
