IONNA is teaming up with Wawa to provide ultra-fast EV chargers at various locations in the United States, writes Michelle Lewis for Electrek.
IONNA is a joint venture backed by eight automakers—BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis and Toyota.
An IONNA ultra-fast EV charger can add 248.5 miles of charge to an electric vehicle in 15 minutes.
The first charging site opens next week at Wawa’s W. International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Other new charging sites, referred to as Rechargeries by IONNA, are under construction in Bradenton, Pensacola, and Orlando. The partnership supports IONNA’s national charging goals and Wawa’s growing EV infrastructure.
“With an ongoing commitment to providing our customers with speed and convenience, our new collaboration with IONNA does just that,” said Wawa’s chief fuel officer, Rich Makin.
IONNA now has 212 live charging bays and 3,064 contracted bays, with a goal to install 30,000 fast charging bays across North America by 2030.
