IONNA, the EV charging joint venture backed by eight automakers – BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Toyota – just announced its biggest charging deal yet. It’s teaming up with convenience store favorite Wawa to roll out ultra-fast EV chargers at locations across the US.
The first site opens next week at Wawa’s W. International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. More Rechargeries (yup, that’s what IONNA calls them) are already under construction in Bradenton, Pensacola, and Orlando. The partnership will be a big boost to both IONNA’s national charging goals and Wawa’s growing EV infrastructure.
The Daytona Beach Wawa will feature IONNA’s blue-and-orange 400kW Genuine Charge Dispensers, canopy coverage, car care essentials, and, of course, access to Wawa’s refreshments and restrooms.
“Next week’s opening of the IONNA Rechargery at Wawa in Daytona Beach will bring our total bay count to 212 live and 3,064 contracted. That is over 10% contracted to our 2030 live bay goal in just over a year,” said IONNA CEO Seth Cutler.
Wawa’s chief fuel officer, Rich Makin, added, “With an ongoing commitment to providing our customers with speed and convenience, our new collaboration with IONNA does just that.”
IONNA aims to install 30,000 fast charging bays across North America by 2030.
