IONNA, the charging network founded by eight of the world’s top automakers — including BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Stellantis, and Toyota — announced a strategic partnership with major Mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain Sheetz.
IONNA and Sheetz are taking an “all walk, less talk” approach to opening the nation’s roads to EV drivers and recharging customers where they want to be.
A bridge to the future that begins today, IONNA will open EV Rechargeries at three Sheetz locations in late December 2024:
- Springfield, Ohio
- Willoughby, Ohio
- Scranton, Pennsylvania
The IONNA / Sheetz Rechargeries will include multiple high-power charging bays, covered by the signature red canopies for weather protection. According to the companies, co-locating is just the beginning, with incentives and loyalty programs for IONNA and Sheetz patrons rolling out in 2025.
Sheetz also continues to expand its footprint, with a goal of 1,000 store locations by 2028. IONNA will grow alongside them, with the two companies committing to 50 IONNA / Sheetz Rechargeries by the end of 2026.
“At IONNA, every decision is made with the driver’s experience in mind. That level of customer centricity is built into the DNA of our business and it’s a quality we recognize in Sheetz, making them the right choice for our first partner,” said Seth Cutler, CEO of IONNA.
IONNA’s aim is a nationwide network of charging stations with high-end technology, enabling urban and long-distance EV mobility for all with over 30,000 ultra-fast-and-reliable charging points by 2030.
