IONNA, the joint-venture EV charging network formed by seven major automakers, has announced plans to invest more than $250 million in charging infrastructure across California over the next three years.
The update follows a week-long series of kickoff events at new IONNA “Rechargery” stations in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, San Jose, and Westminster.
The company said these locations represent a portion of more than 1,000 contracted charging bays in California and contribute to more than 4,000 bays now under contract nationwide. More than 1,100 of those are under construction or nearing completion.
“This week’s expansion into California reflects the momentum the network has built in less than a year,” said Seth Cutler, IONNA CEO, in a Nov. 20 news release. “Our focus is on delivering coverage and reliability that support a better charging experience.”
IONNA’s first flagship site in Westminster serves as the model for its statewide expansion. The company is also launching an EV education effort to support new EV drivers and address common charging questions. After each station opening, IONNA representatives will work with local dealerships and EV groups to host on-site information sessions.
The company continues to expand its Plug & Charge capability, which allows vehicles to begin charging automatically without manual authentication.
Five of the eight founding automakers — BMW, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia, and Mercedes-Benz — are already integrated. Honda, Stellantis, and Toyota are expected to follow by the end of 2026. IONNA also announced new compatibility with Rivian and Ford models.
IONNA also plans to launch a limited-run merchandise offering at shop.ionna.com as it prepares for a broader official store rollout.
