EVs offer an adrenaline-pumping drive by providing instant acceleration due to the electric motor. By placing the batteries in the floor, EVs also have a lower center of gravity, ensuring agile handling on the road while a single-speed transmission provides a seamless driving experience. EV performance also contributes to charging. When EVs slow down, the batteries can be recharged through energy recaptured by regenerative braking. The electric motors also produce less noise than internal combustion engines, resulting in a quieter drive.

The amount of money that an EV owner can expect to save compared to a gas-powered vehicle depends on various factors, including the cost of electricity, fuel prices, vehicle efficiency, maintenance costs, and any available incentives. While exact savings will vary depending on individual circumstances, EV owners typically save money on fuel cost, maintenance cost, and savings from tax credits and other incentives. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the cost per mile to drive an EV is about half the cost of driving a gas-powered vehicle, assuming national average electricity and gas prices. Similarly, the DOE indicates that EVs can be less costly to maintain, due to fewer moving parts, no oil changes, and reduced brake wear due to regenerative braking systems.

While there will likely be some changes to your routine, like planning ahead for places to charge on longer road trips and no longer needing to stop at a gas station, the easiest way to keep the same routine is to charge at home. Simply plug in with a Level 2 charger overnight and wake up to a fully charged battery. When you do need to charge while on the road, some quick planning can help ensure that you can shop, eat or run errands while your EV charges.

Planning ahead and checking which charging options are available on your route to your destination can help ensure the best road trip experience possible. Utilize the HondaLink® app* or Google Maps* in the Prologue to locate available charging stations along your route, ensuring optimal charging stops and keeping you on schedule to reach your destination. Many public charging stations are now located near restaurants and shopping so you can time your charging with meals or stretch your legs while you wait.

Yes, most EV owners prefer to charge their vehicles at home because it’s more convenient and cost effective than public charging stations. Level 1 home charging is done through a standard household outlet and can add up to 4.2 miles of range per hour.* A 240v Level 2 home charging station can add up to 34.1 miles of range per hour* when faster charging is needed.

Plug your charge connector into your Prologue and charging will start based on your Charge Mode setting. The app will show the charging status, such as current battery state of charge (SOC) and time remaining. You can also stop a charge from the app.

The HondaLink® app is your guide to finding and managing public charging sessions by helping you locate charging stations, monitor your charging progress once connected at a public station, view charging rates, and estimate the total cost of your session.

If your Prologue comes with complimentary charging credits, the app will automatically apply them to eligible charging sessions at participating networks. Please note that the availability and terms of charging credits may vary. After complimentary credits have been used, payment for public charging is typically handled through a third-party charging network app or directly at the charging station using a credit card.

EV drivers can choose from two different EV charging station levels. DC Fast Charging (DCFC) stations are located across the country and provide the highest-power charging option, adding up to 65 miles of range in 10 minutes.*

Another option is Level 2 charging stations, often found at convenient locations like shopping centers, hotel and restaurants, capable of adding up to 35 miles of range per hour of charging.*

An NACS-CCS Adapter allows certain electric vehicles, like the Prologue, to use NACS chargers, giving you access to more than 23,500 charging points on the Telsa Supercharger network plus other DC Fast Chargers. Adapters are available for purchase through DreamShop and authorized Honda dealers and come with a 1-year warranty.

1. Find & Prepare: Use the HondaLink® app or Charging Station Locator map to locate a compatible NACS J3400 DC fast-charging station. Some stations require third party apps for payment (e.g., Tesla Supercharging stations require the Tesla app). Inspect your adapter and NACS charging plug for damage or debris and ensure the cable can comfortably reach your vehicle before parking.

2. Connect: Securely attach your NACS-to-CCS adapter to the NACS charging connector. Align the adapter with your vehicle’s CCS charge port and insert firmly.

3. Start & Monitor Charging: Activate and pay for the charge session using the charging provider’s system either via mobile app (e.g., Tesla, IONNA, EVgo) or credit card at the station. Look for visual or audible confirmation (e.g., green indicator light on the vehicle or charging station). Monitor charge status via vehicle dashboard or charging provider’s app and avoid tampering with adapter during charging.

4. End Session & Disconnect: Stop charging through the charging provider’s system then release your adapter by disconnecting from vehicle first and then removing charging cable. Return the cable to housing and store adapter properly.

5. To keep tyour adapter in good condition, periodically inspect for wear or damage and clean with a dry cloth to avoid debris buildup.

The rising number of public charging stations in some areas makes it possible to solely use public stations. Many EV drivers often rely on chargers at their workplace. Search for charging stations using our Charging Station Locator map.

Your Honda Home Charging Station or Portable Charging Kit owner’s manual contains resources to help troubleshoot your charging equipment. Alternatively, you can contact Honda Client Relations toll free at (800) 999-1009 from Monday through Friday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm PST.

Yes, the 2024 and 2025 Prologue are eligible for the $7500 federal tax credit. If leasing, the incentive will be included in the terms of transaction. If purchasing, eligibility depends on a few factors: 1) You must buy it for your own use and use it primarily in the U.S.; 2) Your modified adjusted gross income may not exceed $300,000 for married couples filing jointly; $225,000 for heads of households; and $150,000 for all other filers. Read more about tax incentives and EV perks that may be available to you.

If you are eligible to claim the credit, you can include it in your federal tax return or transfer it to the dealer at the time of purchase so the credit can be applied to the cost of the vehicle. Dealer transfer options vary, so check with your dealer for availability and more details. The $7500 credit is non-refundable and can only be applied to the taxes that you owe. Consult with your tax professional for guidance.
