IONNA said on September 30, 2026 that it had passed 180 operating charging sites in the United States, more than doubling its network since the start of the year. The statement was distributed through BMW, one of the network’s founding automakers.
That is a site count, not a count of individual charging connectors. For an EV driver, the practical question is whether an added location fits a journey and works with the vehicle being driven.
What the network reported
The company announcement also describes charging access through Presto, ChargeHub, and EV Connect. These are company-reported developments; Passion4Drive has not conducted an independent audit of the sites or tested the payment integrations.
A national total is a useful signpost for network growth, but it cannot tell a driver whether the next stop has an available, compatible charger at the time of arrival.
A route-level checklist
Before relying on an unfamiliar charging location, check:
- The exact location: account for the detour from your route, rather than judging only by distance on a map.
- Vehicle compatibility: confirm the connector and any manufacturer-approved adapter requirements.
- Current operating information: check the operator’s listing, available stalls, and access hours immediately before travel.
- The price and payment route: establish which payment method you will use and what fees are displayed.
- A backup stop: identify another suitable location before your remaining charge becomes restrictive.
This checklist is an editorial planning framework, not a claim about conditions at every IONNA site.
Keep the network claim in perspective
The announcement describes growth as of September 30. It should not be used as a live availability feed, and this article does not infer a guaranteed charging speed or a particular tariff from the network’s expansion.
For readers outside the United States, this update concerns US infrastructure; it does not establish availability in India or Europe. For more context on the difference between charger ratings and actual charging, browse our EV and charging coverage.
