What home charger does the Honda Prologue need?
| Model years | Trims | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-2026 | all trims | 48 A | 60 A |
The Honda Prologue takes a 48 A charger on a 60 A breaker. It shares its underpinnings with GM's Ultium SUVs and accepts the same 11.5 kW on AC, from 2024 through 2026.
Why 48 amps and not more
Above 48 A the car stops taking more, so a larger charger is a waste of money. Below it you lose time: a 2026 Prologue adds 29 miles of range per hour on a 40 A unit instead of 35. If the panel can handle the 60 A circuit, the full-size charger is the one to get.
Charging time by model year
| Year | EPA range | Level 2, miles per hour | Level 2, empty to full | 120 V, miles per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 283 to 308 mi | 35 | 8.7 h | 4.4 |
| 2025 | 283 to 308 mi | 33 to 35 | 8.6 to 8.7 h | 4.1 to 4.4 |
| 2024 | 273 to 296 mi | 31 to 34 | 8.7 h | 3.9 to 4.2 |
Level 2 figures assume a charger that supplies the car's full rate. Where a year shows a range, it spans that year's trims.
Each year added a little range, from 273 to 296 miles in 2024 to 283 to 308 in 2025 and 2026. Charge times held steady at about 8.6 to 8.7 hours from empty, and the charging rate crept up from 31 to 34 miles per hour on the 2024 to 35 on the 2026.
What the install involves
Budget for the permit. Most areas require one for a new 240 V circuit, along with an inspection, and the electrician usually files it. The charger itself is hardwired to a 60 A breaker, since no standard receptacle is rated for 48 A.
- 48 A charger: 60 A breaker, hardwired, because no household receptacle is rated for a 48 A charger.
- Charge port, 2024: J1772. Every non-Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging.
- Charge port, 2025-2026: J1772. From 2025 the industry is moving to the NACS port, and makers switch at different times. Some of these cars have a J1772 port and some have NACS with an adapter, so look at the port on your own car before choosing a charger's plug.
Chargers that fit the Honda Prologue
Smallest adequate unit first. Every amp above what the car accepts is capacity it never uses.
Energy monitoring built in. Hardwire it for the full 48 A.
Compact unit, good for tight garages.
Adjustable from 16 A to 50 A in the app, which helps if your panel is tight.
