A 150 kW+ charger gets a Prologue to 80% in about 35 minutes.
On a public DC fast charger rated 150 kW or higher, a Honda Prologue goes from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes.
Level 2 — a home charger, a curbside spot, or a parking-garage station — takes roughly 8 to 9 hours for a full overnight charge from 10% to 100% instead. Which one applies depends less on the vehicle and more on where you're parked: a driveway or a private garage points toward Level 2, while a longer drive or an apartment without dedicated parking points toward the public network below. Neither number is a Honda claim specific to New York — both come from the Prologue's published national specifications and simply hold true wherever the same charger hardware is available. The matrix breaks down every charging level and lists real public stations Queens drivers can use.
Charging levels
Honda Prologue charging times by level
Three real speeds, from a household outlet to a public fast charger, based on the Prologue's roughly 85 kWh pack (about 83 kWh usable).
| Level | Power | Time | Range Added | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (120V) | ~1.4 kW | 40+ hrs, empty to full | ~3–4 mi/hr | Emergency top-off only |
| Level 2 (240V, 48A) | Up to 11.5 kW | ~8–9 hrs, 10%→100% | ~34.1 mi/hr | Home & overnight public |
| DC Fast (CCS) | Up to ~150 kW | ~35 min, 10%→80% | ~65 mi per 10 min | Longer trips & top-offs |
DC fast charging speed tapers sharply past 80% to protect the battery, which is why the matrix above — and most real-world stops — measure to 80%, not 100%. The drop-off isn't gradual: the first 10% often adds range faster than the last 20% combined, since the battery management system throttles the charge rate as the pack fills to avoid excess heat.
Where to charge
Where Queens drivers can charge a Honda Prologue
Five real public hubs within reach of Paragon Honda's Woodside location, spanning both charging levels.
Public charging matters more in Queens than in a lot of the country, simply because of housing stock: a big share of Queens drivers park on the street or in a shared lot rather than a private driveway with a home charger, which makes the network below less of a backup plan and more of a primary charging strategy. These five sit inside a much larger, fast-growing buildout:
- Roughly 340 public charging stations across Queens overall, about two-thirds Level 2 and one-third DC fast.
- NYPA has committed to 66 EVolve NY fast chargers across 10 NYC DOT facilities citywide, with two already live in Queens and more planned for Rockaway Park and Sunnyside.
- JFK Airport (65 stations, 12+ rapid chargers) and Revel's proposed Maspeth-area site (44 stalls) are both announced but not yet confirmed live — the table below sticks to hubs operating as of this writing.
| Location | Type | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flushing Commons | Level 2 — 424 ports | Standard L2 rate | Largest single public charging site in NY State; opened July 2025 |
| EVolve NY – Downtown Flushing | DC fast — 8 ports | 360 kW, 80% in 10–15 min | 135-23 39th Ave; NYPA-operated, opened March 2026 |
| EVolve NY – LaGuardia | DC fast — 12 ports | ~30 min per session | Rated around $0.45/kWh plus tax |
| NYC DOT curbside | Level 2, on-street | Standard L2 rate | Astoria & Jackson Heights; $2.50/hr day, $1/hr overnight |
| Revel – Maspeth | DC fast — 60 stalls planned | 320+ kW, ~15 min | Announced, largest planned in the Northeast — confirm it's live first |
Charging tips
Four tips for planning a charging stop
Small habits, mostly about timing and route planning, that keep charging time predictable instead of a surprise.
Charge to 80%, not 100%
Speed drops sharply past 80% on DC fast to protect the pack, so stopping there is faster and gentler on long-term battery health.
Default to Level 2 overnight
A Prologue easily reaches a full charge in 8–9 hours on Level 2, which fits any overnight window and typically costs less.
Check real-time port status
Networks like EVolve NY and ChargePoint show live availability in their apps — worth a check before driving to a specific hub.
Match the charger to the trip
Save DC fast charging for genuinely longer drives, road trips, or a true emergency top-off — it's built for occasional use, not a daily replacement for Level 2.
Cost tracks the same split as speed: NYC's public fast chargers run roughly $0.39–$0.45 per kWh, and NYC DOT sessions also credit around $9 back toward the first hour of parking at that location, offsetting part of the per-kWh cost on a quick stop. Curbside Level 2 bills by the hour instead of by the kWh, and home charging is usually cheapest of all since it runs at a household electricity rate rather than a public-network premium. For the full dollar-by-dollar comparison, see the Prologue charging cost guide for Queens.
