    Welp, well I guess we've answered that question; does the Prologue count as a GM vehicle? - Yup.
    Supercharger access for Prologues and other GM vehicles is such a huge deal. There's a lot of freedom in not having to completely rely on Electrify America and EVgo. Congrats!

      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 guess this is one of the additional benefits of Honda partnering with GM for their Ultium platform. I hope they provide official Acura/Honda support. I can't think why Tesla wouldn't, but then again, I'm not sure why it's taking them this long in general (European Superchargers were opened to everyone in less then a year when Tesla was threatened with losing funding and subsidies as a public charging provider).

      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.

    • @Aslash304
      @Aslash304  Месяц назад +2

      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.

    • @Techridr
      @Techridr 29 дней назад +1

      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
