IONNA EXPANDS TO 350+ CIRCLE K STATIONS

IONNA, the electric vehicle charging network backed by major automakers, is significantly expanding its footprint through a partnership with Circle K convenience stores. The rollout will bring 400 kW DC fast chargers to more than 350 Circle K stations across the network. The chargers will support both NACS (North American Charging Standard) and CCS (Combined Charging System) connectors, accommodating a wide range of EV models. This dual-standard approach addresses the ongoing transition in the U.S. EV charging landscape. The expansion represents a strategic move to increase charging infrastructure accessibility in convenience-store locations, which typically offer high traffic volumes and geographic distribution. Circle K's extensive network provides IONNA with rapid deployment opportunities across multiple regions. IONNA, founded by major automakers including General Motors, Ford, and BMW, has been building out competing infrastructure against Tesla's Supercharger network and other charging providers.
