What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Honda Prologue?
Standard household wiring provides only a trickle, but your car accepts up to 48 amps of Level 2 current. Matching that onboard limit requires a 48 amp EVSE paired with a 60 amp breaker. Get the right hardware installed before delivery. You will charge the 100.5 kWh battery from empty to full in 8.7 hours.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.5 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 8.7 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 34 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 70 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 4.2 miles |
| EPA rated range | 296 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 100.5 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The onboard charger draws a maximum of 48 amps at 11.5 kW. Buying a larger unit offers no speed advantage because the car regulates the intake. Feeding it 48 amps yields 34 miles of range per hour of charging. Hooking up a 50 amp or 80 amp charger will not push energy in any faster. The vehicle cannot accept more power.
What the install involves
A 48 amp continuous load demands hardwiring because no household receptacle is rated for it. Have a licensed electrician pull a heavy-gauge circuit from your panel. They must land it on a dedicated 60 amp breaker. Ask them to verify that your panel has spare physical and ampacity capacity before they start.

Common questions
- What connector does the car use?
- Every non-Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging. This vehicle follows that exact standard. Plug standard J1772 hardware straight into the port.
- How long does a full charge take?
- Connecting to a 48 amp Level 2 supply fills the 100.5 kWh battery in 8.7 hours. The EPA test estimates a longer 9.5 hours because that testing protocol does not always run at the car's absolute peak AC rate. Standard Level 1 household plugging takes 70 hours.
- Can I use a regular wall outlet?
- Level 1 charging uses a standard wall outlet and delivers 4.2 miles of range per hour. That method takes 70 hours for a complete fill. You need a dedicated Level 2 setup for daily convenience.
- Do I need any adapters for public charging?
- The car features a J1772 port for standard AC connections. If you want to use Tesla Destination Chargers, buy a compatible adapter like the Lectron Tesla to J1772 unit. It handles up to 80 amps.
