Ionna has been chipping away at its 2025 roadmap.
Growing, multiplying and opening roads
30,000 charging bays by the end of 2030 is a lofty goal that Ionna keeps on permanent lock. That’s the talk, here’s the walk:
- Open now: Six new rechargeries went live to the public in April, doubling Ionna’s total network size to 12 sites and 120 bays and marking its first set of batch openings this year, but certainly not the last
- In construction now: 15 additional rechargeries have fences up and are in active construction across the U.S., bringing the total of open and in-construction sites to 27 dots on the map across 14 states
- Open-road pipeline: More than 200 contracted sites across the U.S. double the 100 announced earlier this year, bringing it to more than 2,000 charging bays inked and moving along the pipeline
Money where its mouth is
Ionna took a page out of its founding automakers’ playbook by proudly announcing Friends & Family pricing. For a limited time, customers can experience discounted charging prices, open to everyone, at all Ionna stations, no subscriptions or additional fees required. To make it even easier while you rack-up these savings, Ionna’s list of Plug & Charge-enabled OEMs is growing to five, with GM, Hyundai and Kia coming online this quarter.
Ionna’s founding automakers have begun expanding free charging credits to the Ionna network. Customers who choose the public charging package with the purchase of certain electric vehicles can now use the following at Ionna:
- BMW: All Ionna locations and charge points are fully digitally integrated and accessible through the My BMW app and the in-vehicle navigation system. Plug & Charge already live today. Special offers applicable to Ionna in the future
- General Motors: GM electric-vehicle drivers can easily find and access Ionna charging stations directly through their GM MyBrand apps, with full integration for a seamless experience. Starting this quarter, customers will begin to enjoy the Plug & Charge experience at Ionna sites, automatically initiating charging and payment with no extra steps
- Honda: Special offers applicable to Ionna and Plug & Charge in the future
- Hyundai: 2025 IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6 and 2025 Genesis drivers who choose the charging credit offer receive up to $500 of charging credit through the ChargePoint app, with credits usable at Ionna stations. Plug & Charge is rolling out soon
- Mercedes-Benz: Model-year 2025 electric-vehicle owners have the option to add a $1,000 public charging voucher to their MB.CHARGE PUBLIC account and apply it to charging sessions on the Ionna network. Plug & Charge live today
- Kia: Kia America’s recently launched Kia Charge Pass program allows “find, charge & pay” capability within the Kia Access app. This includes all Ionna locations, future Ionna special offers and Plug & Charge coming soon
- Stellantis: Drivers of certain model-year Jeep® Wagoneer S, Dodge Charger Daytona and Fiat 500e who chose the Free2move Charge Go Package can apply the $600 of public charging credits at all Ionna rechargeries. Plug & Charge coming soon
- Toyota: Discounts coming soon
Premiering now, everywhere
North Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, Arizona and Missouri all have open rechargeries with many more coming later this year as Ionna builds its pan-US network.
All these rechargeries feature Ionna canopies either at opening or coming soon, 24/7 charging at 400kW of power, access to restrooms, food and beverage choices, other car care and travel comforts, and don’t forget the first Ionna Rechargery Market at Garner, North Carolina.

Dot matrix style, Ionna will print blue and orange rechargeries across California in 2025, starting with the Vista, California, Rechargery Relay. Stay tuned to learn more throughout the year, including a future beacon for the Golden State.
