Every year, millions of Europeans face the same barrier to electric vehicle adoption: the fear of running out of power on long journeys. IONITY exists to eliminate that fear completely. As a joint venture founded by BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Group, Kia, Mercedes-Benz AG, and Volkswagen Group with Audi and Porsche - backed by BlackRock's Climate Infrastructure Platform - IONITY has built Europe's largest open High-Power Charging network along highways and, increasingly, in urban areas across 24 countries.
With over 847 locations and 4,500+ charging points delivering up to 600 kW of power, IONITY enables electric drivers to recharge their vehicles in minutes rather than hours. The network is open to all EV brands and powered entirely by 100% renewable energy, making every charge carbon-neutral. Under CEO Jeroen van Tilburg's leadership, IONITY is expanding beyond highway corridors into metropolitan areas, recognizing that modern electric mobility requires seamless charging whether commuting to work or crossing borders. The company doesn't just install chargers - it's building the infrastructure backbone for Europe's sustainable transportation future.
