IONITY surpasses 1000 Charging Stations

IONITY strengthens its ultra-fast charging network in France and reaches a symbolic milestone.

IONITY, a major player in high-performance charging infrastructure (HPC) for electric vehicles, has reached a significant milestone in France. The company announces the installation of its 1000th charging station, now operational in Bessoncourt, in the Territoire de Belfort. With 168 stations spread across the territory, France is establishing itself as one of the most advanced European markets in terms of electric charging.

These stations offer a power of 350 kW, allowing compatible vehicles to recover up to 300 km of range in just 15 minutes. This level of performance meets the increasing power of next-generation electric vehicles while reducing wait times for users.

A strategy of densification and innovation

Historically focused on highways, IONITY is gradually expanding its presence into urban and suburban areas. The Bessoncourt station illustrates this hybrid approach. Located near a highway and integrated into a strategic commercial area, it features 12 ultra-fast charging stations.

In 2024, the usage of IONITY stations surged by 68% in France, highlighting the growing adoption of electric vehicles and the perceived reliability of the infrastructure. The stations ensure availability every 120 to 150 km, while relying exclusively on 100% renewable energy to support sustainable mobility.

Meanwhile, IONITY announces a major overhaul of its mobile app in 2025. This new version will offer an optimized user experience, integrating features like smart route planning and simplified management of charging sessions.

According to the latest figures released by AVERE, France had 154,694 publicly accessible charging points as of December 31, 2024. This represents a strong dynamic among all stakeholders in the charging sector, which undoubtedly benefits electric motorists.
