Ionna

The carmakers' answer to the Supercharger, and the newcomer most worth knowing. Ionna is backed by a group of automakers and is growing fast: about 1,500 ports at 174 stations by September 2026, after adding 50 percent more plugs in six months, with a target of 30,000 bays by 2030. What makes it pleasant is how little fuss it asks for. Its chargers are rated up to 400 kW, drivers can always pay by credit or debit card at the charger, so there is no app to download, and several makes start by Plug and Charge. GM, BMW, Hyundai, Genesis and Mercedes-Benz owners get 10 to 20 percent off through Plug and Charge or their carmaker's app. Coverage is the weak point for now: there are far fewer sites than on the older networks.
