IONNA, a joint venture between seven leading automakers (BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis), has received regulatory approval and is now officially commencing operations in North America. Seth Cutler, newly appointed as CEO, aims to become one of the most accessible and reliable high-powered charging networks in North America with plans to deploy at least 30,000 chargers. With experience in electric mobility and charging, Cutler has expanded the network of charging station manufacturers and led initiatives to transform the company from a start-up to a scale-up phase.
IONNA's charging network will be accessible to all electric vehicles with NACS or CCS connectors and aims to provide a seamless, vehicle-integrated, best-in-class charging experience. The network will offer amenities such as restrooms, food service, and retail operations, as well as convenient locations with canopies for unprecedented customer comfort and charging ease.
IONNA's charging stations are intended to be powered by renewable energy and backed by the combined quality, reliability, and resources of the world's leading automakers. The joint venture expects to open its first charging stations in the United States in 2024, with plans for expansion into Canada at a later stage. Each site will feature multiple high-powered chargers to facilitate long-distance journeys, aligning with the sustainability strategies of all seven automakers.
In summary, IONNA aims to revolutionize the electric vehicle charging experience and drive widespread adoption through a high-powered network of charging stations strategically located throughout North America.
