Honda & Acura EVs Gaining Tesla Supercharger Access This Spring 

Honda and Acura joining the Tesla Supercharger network this spring raises some interesting questions. While this expands charging options for Honda and Acura EV owners, it also potentially adds to congestion at Supercharger stations. How will Tesla manage this increased demand? Will we see a significant acceleration in Supercharger deployment?

Furthermore, Honda's use of adapters suggests they aren't fully committing to NACS. Is this a temporary solution or a sign that the industry isn't quite ready to fully embrace Tesla's standard? Could this fragmented approach hinder the development of a truly unified charging infrastructure?

I predict that within the next five years, all major automakers will be utilizing the Tesla Supercharger network, effectively making NACS the de facto North American standard. This move will consolidate the charging landscape and simplify the EV ownership experience. However, it also raises concerns about Tesla's growing influence over the industry. Is this level of control ultimately beneficial for consumers? What are the potential downsides of a single company dominating the charging market? Lets discuss.
