Honda has signed on for Tesla charging compatibility in its upcoming electric vehicles. The carmaker announced an agreement with Tesla on Thursday to use its North American Charging Standard for Honda cars starting in 2025.

Honda said it will launch a new EV in North America in 2025 that comes with an NACS port, and thereafter all Honda EVs sold in the region will have the Tesla charging port.

EVs that are sold in North America before 2025 will get a charging adapter to make them compatible with Tesla’s charging system, Honda said.
