Ionna EV Charging Expansion Adds 74% More Locations

Ionna EV Charging Expansion Adds 74% More Locations

Ionna EV Charging Expansion has accelerated significantly over the past six months, with the charging network adding 50% more chargers and 74% more locations across the United States. The company now operates 1,488 charging ports at 174 stations, according to the Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center. Ionna began opening its first DC fast-charging stations in December 2024 and reached 51 locations with 478 charging ports one year later. The rapid increase reflects the company’s effort to make its 400-kW charging capability available to more electric vehicle drivers across the country.

Ionna Expands From 51 Locations to 174 Stations

The network’s growth has accelerated since its initial deployment. By March 2026, Ionna had opened its 100th station and reached its 1,000th individual charging bay. Six months later, the network had expanded to 174 locations and 1,488 charging ports. That progression represents a substantial increase from the 478 ports available at the end of 2025 and shows how quickly the company has been scaling its DC fast-charging footprint. The expansion gives drivers access to more high-power charging locations while extending the geographic reach of Ionna’s network throughout the U.S.

Ionna Targets 30,000 DC Fast-Charging Bays by 2030

Ionna has established a much larger long-term deployment target for the end of the decade. By 2030, the company plans to have 30,000 DC fast-charging bays across the U.S., equivalent to 15,000 individual stalls because its network uses dual-cable Alpitronic stalls almost exclusively. Each stall can deliver up to 400 kW of power to an electric vehicle, allowing two charging connections to be supported from the same physical stall. The planned scale would represent a major expansion from Ionna’s current 1,488 charging ports and its 174 operating stations.

Founding Automakers Receive Charging Discounts

Ionna’s network is open to electric vehicles from all manufacturers, while its founding original equipment manufacturers receive discounted charging access. Those founding OEMs include General Motors, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis, and Mercedes-Benz EV. The participation of these automakers connects the charging network with several major vehicle brands while retaining broader access for other EV drivers. The combination of open network availability, high-power charging hardware, and OEM-specific discounts forms an important part of Ionna’s operating model as the company continues expanding its charging infrastructure.

Industry Impact & Outlook

Ionna’s rapid deployment increases the availability of high-power charging infrastructure in the U.S. and gives EV drivers more opportunities to access charging at up to 400 kW. The expansion also strengthens the role of automaker-backed charging networks in supporting electric vehicle adoption, particularly as participating brands continue building EV portfolios. The company’s 2030 target indicates that additional station and stall deployments will remain central to its strategy, while the use of dual-cable hardware allows each physical stall to support multiple charging connections. Progress toward that target will depend on continued station deployment and utilization across the network.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large is Ionna’s charging network now?
Ionna currently operates 1,488 charging ports across 174 stations in the United States. The network expanded rapidly after the company opened its first DC fast chargers in December 2024. By December 2025, Ionna had reached 51 locations with 478 ports, before reaching its 100th station and 1,000th charging bay in March 2026. The latest reported figures show continued expansion, with the network adding both charging ports and station locations as it works toward its longer-term deployment target.

What is Ionna’s charging network target for 2030?
Ionna plans to have 30,000 DC fast-charging bays across the U.S. by 2030. Because the company uses dual-cable Alpitronic stalls almost exclusively, that target corresponds to 15,000 individual physical stalls. Each stall can provide up to 400 kW of charging power to an EV. The network is open to vehicles from all manufacturers, while founding OEMs including General Motors, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis, and Mercedes-Benz EV receive charging discounts through Ionna’s network.
