Ionna has announced the start of its EV charging network business in North America following approval from regulatory authorities.
For the uninitiated, Ionna is a joint venture by seven major automakers: BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis. The company is taking the fight to the Tesla Supercharger network in offering EV owners DC fast-charging stations powered by renewable energy, which, in turn, provides sustainable charging services.
Ionna’s new charging stations will be compatible with Tesla’s NACS (North American Charging Standard), a type of connector many automakers are adopting, including Toyota. EVs with CCS (Combined Charging System) connectors can also charge up at Ionna stations.
