Ionna tops 3K contracted battery charging bays with new partnership
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: A partnership with Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain Wawa now gives EV charging network provider Ionna more than 3,000 contracted re-charging hubs nationwide, according to a July 16 press release. Wawa, which offers EV charging at more than 175 of its 1,100 locations, is the latest C-store chain to join the automaker-led coalition, following Sheetz, which partnered with the group in December. Ionna's goal is to deploy 30,000 EV charging bays across the U.S. by 2030. 'We couldn't think of a better way to achieve a key milestone than reaching it with Wawa, a host that allows our drivers to charge with ease and in comfort, knowing they're being well cared for,' Ionna CEO Seth Cutler said in the release. Dive Insight: Ionna now has 3,064 contracted EV charging locations spread across the country, including 400 under construction, according to the release. An Ionna-branded Rechargery is scheduled to open at a Wawa location at West International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, in late July. Wawa will also soon open Ionna Rechargeries at its Florida locations in Bradenton, Pensacola and Orlando. Despite government action that suspended billions of dollars in funding to support EV charging network expansion, Ionna remains committed to reaching its five-year goal. Automakers involved in the initiative include BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis and Toyota. Expanding its network through partnerships is a key part of Ionna's strategy. As part of its partnership with Pennsylvania-based Sheetz, the c-store chain planned to install EV chargers at more than 50 of its locations by the end of 2026.
